This includes access to seven different platforms filled with awesome content for you to take a little break from your academic reading.

DVDs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember redbox?! If want a similar experience and you’re a little more old-school, we have 15,000 DVD is our collection for you! There are some big blockbuster names like The Martian<\/span><\/a>, Joker<\/span><\/a>, or even The Terminator<\/span><\/a> <\/span>for you to choose from and find your next movie night pick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also some awesome Blu-ray picks, which bring you the best quality and sometimes bonus content! A few of our picks are Moonrise Kingdom<\/span><\/a>, Bladerunner 2049,<\/span><\/a> and the 50th anniversary of the 1961 version of the West Side Story<\/span><\/a>! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If none of these picks are up your alley, you can always go into the advanced search button of the catalogue, choose keywords and type in a few, and then select DVD as the format in the bottom drop-down menu. For “romance” “comedy”, 163 results popped up, a mixed of old and new! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
