generally a good idea to get off of streaming and cloud services for things you can do locally

better security, better for the environment

all the worst companies want you streaming and using cloud services with them, just don't

Jellyfin servers for your movies and tv shows is the way to go!

How'd you obtain the movies in the first place?

You can rip them from blurays.

I don't run a jellyfin server (yet), but a lot of people torrent their media by using a bunch of arr tools (Sonarr, Radar, Prowlarr, etc.) to do it I guess. So basically sail the high seas with some tools, download Jellyfin on a device (or set a proper server) and you're set to have your own media streaming.
