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?
-
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.

How is e.g. streaming from a Jelyfin server better for the environment than e.g. from Netflix? Genuine question? Like, to use Jellyfin you still have to download an entire movie or episode from somewhere, and you're more likely to download things you don't end up watching. The only benefit is if you rewatch episodes or movies, but that's pretty rare and having enough hard-drive space for all of that is probably worse than just streaming it from a centralised location.
-
Plus Netflix, et al benefit from economies of scale that would probably make their streaming better than you just downloading.
Especially if they still put CDN caches in ISPs…
That said I still self-host tvs and movies as much as possible
