I’ve been re-organizing my DVDs and so forth today. I’ve been buying them since 2000. It was tough trying to decide how to count box sets (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc), so I decided to count the sets as one title unless the individual titles can be purchased separately (like the Lethal Weapon series).
I now have 409.
Most of them are TV series:
Batman: The Animated Series
Cheers Seasons 1-3
Cosmos (w/Carl Sagan)
Frasier Seasons 1-3
The Critic
Chappelle’s Show Season 1
Dilbert
Family Guy Seasons 1-3
From the Earth to the Moon
Gilligan’s Island Season 1
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy *
Invader ZIM Seasons 1 & 2
Lost In Space Season 1 & 2 (first half, so far)
The Good Life (aka The Good Neighbors) Series 1, 2, & 4 *
MASH Seasons 1-6
Monty Python’s Flying Circus Series 1-4
Michael Palin’s Travel series (Around the World in 80 Days, Pole to Pole, Full Circle, Sahara, & Himalaya) *
The Richard Pryor Show
Rising Damp *
The Simpsons Seasons 1-4
Soap Seasons 1 & 2
South Park Seasons 1-4
24 Seasons 1 & 2
The Twilight Zone Seasons 1-5
The X-Files Seasons 1-9
Yes, Minister Series 1-3 *
The Young Ones Series 1 & 2
MST3K - The 6 collections and 12 individual shows
Sledge Hammer! Season 1
Star Trek: TNG Seasons 1-7 *
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Seasons 1-7 *
Star Trek: Voyager Seasons 1-3 *
The Two Towers, Return of the King, and Director’s Cut of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home are in my possession with Garden State being delivered in the next few days. I also own the two disc version of Fight Club but it’s at my mom’s, 2,500 miles away.
My CD and book libraries are similarly tiny. Had to sell most of my stuff to finance my two moves last year and need to build them up again.
I’d post my collection here, but I’ve got over…800 DVDs. :eek: And that’s AFTER eBaying about a hundred titles due to the paucity of shelf space in my house.
(The DVDTracker website seems to be down right now or I’d post the link. Maybe later.)
I think I have about 300; from the sublime (Family Guy, BlackAdder, Sopranos) to the utterly ridiculous “why on earth would you BUY that?!” travesties such as - ahem - Blade (disclaimer: I did NOT buy that damn movie…the boyfriend did) that bloody Bleargh Witch Project.
On the plus side, I do have some gems: Withnail and I; Carry On Up The Khyber; Cracker; 24 (season 1); My Beautiful Laundrette and the wonderful Tampopo.
Have not had a DVD player for very long so the DVD library is very limited but their is variety as you can tell.
Jeepers Creepers
Megiddo; Omega Code 2
Freddy Got Fingered
The Passion of The Christ
A.I.
Scribble Jam
Jesus, Fact or Fiction?
Miracle of the Cards
Reefer Madness

Probably close to 500 using that criteria, I actually have to go and catalog them all for insurance purposes, anyone know of decent software for that purpose?
I was building my own ASP page/Access B/E so that my brother can do his online as well, but decided its too much effort.
Over 400, mostly movies. Some older TV, mainly ‘I Love Lucy’ (the mrs. is a big fan). I’m afraid to count them now – it could be more than 100 over 400 (more than 500, in other words). Somehow that scares me…
I spend more money on TV shows than movies. A lot more. At the moment I’m waiting for Dark Angel season one to arrive in the mail.

** $1 plus shipping. Still haven’t watched it though.
Others that I like but personally haven’t bought because there are already copies of them in the house include things like: Blade I-II, the first two Space Ghost Coast to Coast sets, Boondock Saints, Resident Evil, Titan AE, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet, many disney movies and so on.

and somewhere I have a privately made, restored DVD from the 16mm film of The Beatles’ “Let It Be”, before they blew it up to 35mm and cropped a bunch of the picture out. But you can’t buy that one at the store.
I might add, I haven’t seen most of these yet. Some of them are still sealed!
One of these days…
Wow. I feel really outclassed. I have 14 movies (including the 3 EEs of LOTR), the first four seasons of Buffy, the first two seasons of Angel, and seasons 2-4 of the Simpsons.
I have a Netflix subscription, though, which is nice. It takes a lot for me to say “I really like this enough for me to want to watch this multiple times.” Renting is better for me.
I’ll also toss up my list from DVD Aficionado. 236 titles there, probably about 210 movies along with several TV boxed sets. I like having that page, it’s a damn sight better organized than my shelves.
I feel better after seeing Kyla’s post: I only have 65 titles. I count movie box set titles individually, though (e.g., my Die Hard and Indiana Jones box sets each count as 3 titles).
I only have 4 television titles:[ul]
[li]Farscape: The Best of Season One[/li][li]Firefly[/li][li]The Stand[/li][li]The West Wing: The Complete Second Season[/ul][/li]I created a little MS Access database for my DVDs (with a very simple input form and two or three basic reports), and to make life a little easier I use the same genre categories as Netflix: so far, I have more Action/Adventure titles than anything else.
That’s exactly how I feel, too: I went a little nuts with my VHS collection back in the day, so when I got my DVD player a few years ago I decided to be more selective.
My rule of thumb is that I won’t buy a movie unless I’ve seen it, but right before Christmas I broke that rule twice, with Spider-Man 2 and I, Robot. :eek: I’ve watched them both, and don’t regret either purchase.
I count movie box set titles individually, though (e.g., my Die Hard and Indiana Jones box sets each count as 3 titles).
