BMG DVD Club
The BMG DVD Club now operates under the Columbia House DVD movie club name. BMG acquired Columbia House in 2005 and later BMG was acquired by Direct Brands, Inc. However, the Columbia House brand name for the DVD movie club has survived.
This movie club offers an extremely large variety of DVD movies to choose from at prices lower than what you would pay at retail stores.

Columbia House DVD Club Tips
Some of the titles listed in the BMG DVD Club can be quite expensive, especially new releases or more obscure titles. Therefore, it is best to stay away from these, unless the DVD is really desired or cannot be found elsewhere. The best deals are in the Clearance section and therefore, it is a good idea to monitor regularly this section of the club website in order to maximize savings.
BMG DVD Club Movie Titles
Each movie title in the club comes with an image of the cover jacket. Clicking on the jacket opens another page where a full description of the DVD movie is provided, as well as additional details such as release date, actors, etc.
Several thousands of DVD movie titles are available from this Columbia House DVD club in a large number of different categories. The main DVD movie subject categories include: Action and Adventure, Classics, Comedy, Documentaries, Drama, Family, Fitness, Horror, International, Live Performance and Music, Musical, Mystery and Suspense, Romance, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, Television, Urban, War, and Western. Each of these main DVD move categories contains several sub-categories for even more selection options.
Some new releases are available even before they hit the retail stores, allowing the purchase of movies before everyone else. Some hard to find DVD movies are also among the many DVD titles in the Columbia House BMG inventory. An Upcoming Releases section is provided, as well as a Best Seller section and Oscar Nominees.
The BMG DVD Club also has Blu-ray movies available for purchase. Although nowhere near the wide selection that is available for DVDs, the Blu-ray section does provide some recent titles and the inventory is growing.
Columbia House DVD Club Alternatives
This movie club has been around for many years, satisfying DVD movie lovers for a long time. However, nowadays there are alternatives to joining the club. Streaming movie services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, and others, are quite popular and satisfy the movie-watching urge of many. However, there is a segment of the movie watching population that still enjoy collecting DVDs and having the physical movie format in their possession.
Outside of joining a movie club, various retail stores are still selling DVDs and often at discounted prices. Waiting for sales is a good way to pick up DVD movies for cheap. Unfortunately, the selection is usually poor and this is where an organization such as the BMG DVD Club has an advantage.
Lastly, DVD movies can be found in the used marketplace. This is growing everyday as many people start to unload their unwanted physical media. However, when using this route to build a DVD movie collection, it is important to be wary of physical damage to discs such as scratches and cracks. Unless used discs are inspected prior to purchase, there is a good possibility that they will not function properly due to damage, usually caused by poor storage and handling by the prior owners.
