So what are the film collections of the people on this board?

 

I currently have over 1,400 DVDs and BDs (not counting DVD-Rs of things I recorded off of television which is probably another 300 or so. I also have/had countless VHS tapes which are mostly transfered to DVD-R or replaced with purchased DVDs.

 

Also if you use an online collection tool like DVDProfiler or DVD Aficionado or whatever post a link to your collection.

 

Here's mine:

Bit of an eclectic mix, I know. It's not the entirety of my film collection, though it's a significant chunk. I have £5 or less rule when buying DVDs (single films that is) and I also use Lovfilm to watch most films so I don't own many DVDs.

I've only got a relatively small collection. My mum has a big video collection so I never needed one, so my collection is only a couple of years in the making. It's currently about 40:60 BD:DVD, but that'll increase over time (I've mostly just been buying blu-rays recently)

A large chunk of my "collection" is pirated stuff, but normally if I like it I'll go out n pick it up. If I don't no loss.

I have that Coen brothers collection except there is Blood Simple instead of Raising Arizona (I'd prefer your version).

 

Kudos on Garth Marenghi!

 

And I actually have a £3 rule for DVDs, generally. That's more to do with trying to stop buying so many due to space issues; since £5 is still reasonable. I prefer BD but I'll only buy particular films in that format since most are a complete rip-off.

 

I could lose a day trying to list everything I have...

 

I do know my first two DVDs were Zoolander and Deuce Bigalow. Clearly, you can see I was quite the comedy connoisseur. :tophat:

Absolute fail on my behalf, we have the same boxset I just somehow typed Raising Arizona instead of Blood Simple. Probably because I really want to see Raising Arizona. Still I dunno what I was thinking there...

I started making one of these, I think on another site, a few years ago. It's time consuming!

 

I should really try again, useful for insurance purposes.

 

We have... a lot. I really don't have a count for ya. Probably not as many as you, Battra, but close. I'll see what I can whip up.

 

eta: we have ~85 blu rays currently, including some tv seasons, anime collections (claymore, FMA: brotherhood), but I counted each season / set as one.

Truth is I suffered from depression in most of my college years and lived with my parents while working and going to school. Most of my extra money went to buy DVDs. I'm actually trying to sell a good chunk of them.

we just like movies, and truth be told, I didn't have many until I married my wife and her dvd collection.

 

Two honest things that told me she was the one:

 

 

We went to her house and she showed me her entire collection of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The fat separate collections, not the thinpacks.

 

We watched Eddie Izzard's Dressed To Kill at my place after telling me she never heard of him, she bought a copy the next day.

I have something like 60 DVDs.

 

Only about a dozen blurays, though, so I'll list those I have.

 

 

Total Recall

The Running Man

StarGate

Sweeney Todd

Sleepy Hollow

V For Vendetta

Pan's Labyrinth

Dawn of The Dead (the 2002 Zack Snyder remake)

Batman Begins

The Dark Knight

Dr. Strangelove

 

and unfortunately

Near Dark (Got it for 10 bucks at Best Buy because I had heard it was good and had wanted to see it for a while. Turned out to be a huge mistake since it was a fucking piece of shit)

 

I haven't bought any in a while, but I've been meaning to grab A Clockwork Orange and 2001.

Also very likely going to grab Inception since Nolan is among my favorite directors.

I also need to get Watchmen. And a ton more...

 

 

I couldn't possibly list all my DVDs, though. It's mostly sci-fi, horror and action.

 

Some Star Trek. The Terminator, Alien and Predator series.

All three seasons of Arrested Development, Firefly and a few seasons of South Park.

Evil Dead, X-Men 1&2, some Tarantino. The usual.

I'm still waiting for blu rays to come down in price - they are just completely stupid so I only have a couple I got as presents.

 

I don't have many DVDs as I only buy ones I know I'll want to watch again and that I get a warm fuzzy feeling from owning. Most films - even if I enjoyed watching them I would be happy just with "Oh, that's on TV tonight I might watch that again". So, I have about two shelves full. I don't know how many that is!
