To find out how many movies Joe bought last year, we first need to determine how many movies Joe received as gifts.

Joe received 8 movies as gifts.

Now, we can subtract the number of movies he received as gifts from the total number of movies in his collection:

35 total movies - 8 gift movies = 27 movies Joe bought himself.

Since Joe bought the same number of movies each year over 3 years, we can divide the remaining movies by 3 to find out how many movies he bought last year:

27 movies / 3 years = 9 movies

Therefore, Joe bought 9 movies last year.
