Who has the most movies on DVD?? I don't own a DVD but considering buying one but I know people that have over 300-500 and maybe more?? Just wondering out of curiousity!!

I only have about 20. I don't see how people can buy hundreds of them. They probably only watch then a couple times and then put them away. I just buy the ones that I know i will watch over and over.

Yeah! Why would anyone want more than 20-or-so DVDs? ;)

By the way, here's (http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat=1&id=akawalrus) an online catalog of my DVD collection.

Quite a varied collection AKA--I like it. My own spans about 100 movies at this point (a little less), and I watch all of them at least once every 3 months. ;)

I just counted today.... 95.


And about 200 on my "to-do-list"



Plus 15 "TV DVDs"


and all 7 "Disney Treasures"


yes, I know.... im a dork.

Some I watch all the time ("Cheers- Season 1&2", "Vacation", "The Goonies", "Christmas Vacation", "Pirates of the Carribbean", and many more)

Whereas others are only watched maybe once every 6 months ("Mr Magoo", "Mystery Men", "Jurassic Park III")

My family has about 150.... about ten of them belong to me.

Admittedly, although there are some DVDs I watch with regularity, there are some DVDs I own that I haven't touched in over four years. The reason I don't get rid of them is because 1.) I'm a rabid collector, and 2.) I know that eventually, I'll get in the mood to watch a certain movie (or TV show), and it's great to have them always available.

umm..i have 9 dvds.

I have alot of movies on DVDs, I just bought thew New Lion King 1/2 , and Alice and Wonderland to add ot my video collection i have also Friends ALL DVDS .... and alot more !!!!!!

I just counted, just for you :D I have 110 DVDs, but I'm expecting one more in the mail today and one from my uncle this week, so 112. Last time I counted my VHS was over a year ago and there were well over 1000.

But hey, I'm a film student. I've got an excuse! :p

Every movie I own I watch over and over. And I've got over a thousand of them :D

Course, I'm addicted.

I have about 43.

Exactly the same with me. So long as I have a favorite movie in my collection, I don't necessarily watch it right away. I have dvds I bought 3, 4 years ago I haven't watched yet. First dvd I ever bought: Purple Rain, haven't watched it yet. My dvd movie collection is pushing 200. With most old favorite movies that I wanted already available on dvd, the bulk of my future dvd purchases will probably be tv-related.

is it true they are reissuing this DVD for the 20th anniversary, in widescreen (the original is pan-and-scan only) with deleted footage and the When Doves Cry video? I heard something about this awhile back, but never anything more about it.

Yeah, all that I've read is that there'll be region 2 (UK) releases in August of Graffiti Bridge, Under The Cherry Moon and a 2 disc special edition of Purple Rain, with a region 1 (US) release expected to be announced for release around the same time, though I haven't seen any certain confirmation from Warner Bros. I've watched my old vhs copy seemingly 1,000 times so when I got the first dvd, I just checked out bits and pieces, never actually watched the whole movie from start to finish on dvd.

ooh, I wouldn't mind getting Cherry Moon on DVD, any word on if it will have any goodies or just be bare-bones? since I think WB knows neither Cherry Moon or Graffiti Bridge would sell as well as Purple Rain, but still, considering they know it will still sell to Prince fans, it'd be nice to throw some goodies on there.

How do you find the time? It seems like everytime I go to sit down to watch a DVD I'm always being interrupted. :)

I normally don't have the time to watch them all at once - but I'll watch half of a movie one night before I go to sleep, the rest the next night, etc :)

I just started my collection a half a year ago when I got my DVD player. Plus, I'm a college kid and money is tight. So far I have:

Dangerous Minds
Fight Club
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Y Tú Mama Tambien
The Simpsons Season 3 DVD

Well we just got a DVD player for Christmas. I had some DVD's for my computer when DVD's first came out.....WAY WAY Back, like 1998. The one thing that I noticed is that some of my disks that are really old, I can't access the menu on them by pressing the menu button on the remote for the DVD player. (A hand comes up that says, you can't do that.) I know that they change the coding and release updated versions of the disks, because my other newer disks, I can call up the menu just fine. I only have about 10 movies.

I'm told that NET FLICKS is cool because you can rent movies on line (3 at a time) keep them as long as you want with no comittment to buy and you can send them back and they give you 3 more (free shipping both ways is provided) I understand that you only have to pay about $20 a month for the service and can cancel at anytime.

I don't subscribe to NetFlix and am not really a "DVD person." But if you have a movie that you love and you know you'd treasure it, you can get it on DVD and it will last forever if you take care of the disk and player.

These are the ones I have that I can remember:

MASH
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Chicago
Dr Strangelove

I have about 7 more I can't remember though. I also got a dvd recorder for christmas, so i tape stuff too- sum dvd's have absolutely no extras!

That sucks. I sure hope I can still watch my DVDs in 5 years without any problems.

My VHS movie collection is near 200 BTW!!

I don't have alot but...
Movies
The Goonies
Toy Soldiers
Rudy
American Graffiti
It's A Wonderful Life

TV Shows
The Simpsons Season 2
Futurama Volume 1

Thats all :lol:

I would love it if more tv shows came to DVD like not just current ones like Buffy, CSI, Sex & The City like the classics like Happy Days, All in the Family, etc.

the first 2 seasons of AITF are out, I'm shocked more aren't out tho. Happy Days is supposed to come out soon

Among my family's DVD collection are the Indiana Jones Boxed Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade as well as a fourth disc loaded with bonus features. That was my father's Christmas present. My DVD collection isn't much but I have the Alice in Wonderland Masterpiece Edition and the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume 1 Box Set. I also have another episode of the show on DVD.

:woohoo: I can't wait :D

Thanks for the info!! Love Happy Days!! Had a crush on the Fonz and Richie Cunningham!!

I have about 160.

I used to buy all the time but have recently gotten into the trend of renting before buying.

Needless to say it's cut down on the movies I buy I to own.

There'll be a new Purple Rain dvd coming out in 2 months that I'll most likely end up watching before the first one I bought. Is that bad or what?

Basically, that's the reason I'm reviving this thread, to see how the dvd buyers here are doing with their collection. I'm still bad when it comes to some of the movie dvds I have, for example, I've had the Godfather collection for seemingly two years at least: still haven't watched it.

I'm trying to get better about watching them as opposed to just buying them and putting them on the shelf. I've been concentrating mostly on my tv-dvds though, Freaks and Geeks, Three's Company, etc. With those, I'm good, I get through them. I just counted 48 movie dvds in my collection that I haven't watched yet. I'm gonna attempt to watch them all before the end of the year. How are you guys doing with your collections?
