The movies we love, with the hand-crafted presentation MediaOCD is known for.
As the digital age gave way to the streaming age, we couldn’t help but notice that some of the greatest movies were being left behind.
Here at MediaOCD, we scour the ends of the Earth to find the best materials to create the perfect disc for these underappreciated gems.
Some are brand new films. Others were beloved classics that’ve been unavailable for years. But we love all of them.
25 Cats From Qatar
Dir. Mye Hoang, 2026, USA, 95 min.
Qatar is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but beneath its glittering exterior lies a world populated by millions of street cats, often starving and in poor health. When the owner of a Milwaukee cat cafe becomes aware of the crisis, she hatches a plan to fly 25 of them back to America in the hopes that they can be adopted. But with the cats in a fragile state, and governments unable to help, it’s a race against time to get them back safely. A deeply inspiring portrait of an unprecedented international rescue effort, 25 Cats From Qatar is unquestionable proof of the good things people can accomplish when working together.
