Having been a huge movie buff since a youngster, I continue to visit the cinema for an initial big screen experience of anything new I'm interested in.
However, I'm glad I've steadily built up a collection of my absolute favourite movies (and tv shows) on physical media over the years. And while some will likely never appear on Blu-ray, let alone 4K HD, just having certain titles available on DVD whenever I have an urge for a nostalgic re-watch is worth it's weight in gold to me.
Although there's ways to watch plenty of movies and tv shows in good quality through streaming, I mainly only do that for stuff that's likely going to be a one-time watch for me. But the only way I'm GUARANTEED to be able to access ALL of my favourites whenever I wish for the rest of my lifetime (as well as being able to share them with my family), is by actually owning them.
And although I used to be a 'completist' where collecting some of my favourite 'franchises' went, these days I just compile my OWN 'canon' to exclude any prequels, sequels, spin-offs and episodes I'd rather ignore....and the various 'streaming services' are very welcome to discard those too or put them on an 'indefinite moratorium' if they wish, as far as I'm concerned!
In short, I'm with Nolan and del Toro. Physical media for the WIN for the rest of my days.
