So if you want to buy an old movie: do you buy the newest format of the movie? (DVD Bluray)
or do you buy the format it came in? (VHS, for example)
sounds stupid, but Im genuinely curious. since watching something in VHS often will give a more authentic experience to watching it back then.

VHS was not the kind of quality filmmakers intended their movies to be viewed in.
I download the Bluray rip

What would I do if I wanted to watch The Passion of Joan of Arc?

It all depends on the movie, the quality of the transfer and what you want to spend.

Really dumb. VHS wasn't a big thing until the 80's, and people watched movies in theaters too.
yes the best way to watch lawrence of arabia is on vhs.
do you guys still have a VHS player? Mine started eating tapes like 12 years ago and never bought one since

for music i like to get the old records, but for movies i get the dvd/bluray combo pack if possible. if not possible, i steal it online
Avoid VHS unless it's the only format. Make a digital copy as soon as you can. Tape is a terrible medium for quality and longevity.
Analog video and audio on tape does not equate to analog audio on vinyl.

I'll buy most movies on dvd. I'll only buy blu ray if it's a new movie or if it's one of those visually striking movies like 2001 or blade runner.

Aside from shitty shot on video movies, the "format it came in" is most often 35 mm film. You sound like a retard.

wtf are you talking about? you torrent it, moron.
if you wanna buy do it once, pick a format, make sure your money is going to the current rights holder.
after that feel free require the media in the most convenient and highest fidelity content accessible.
copyright is a scam, don't get bamboozled.
