How big is your DVD collection?

Would it make you feel better if I told you I’ve bought at least a third of my movies at flea markets and pawn shops? There are many DVD’s I’ve paid five dollars or less for.

22

TV Shows:
Aqua Teen Hunger Force vols. 1-3
Sliders s1&2
Arrested Development s1
Upright Citizens Brigade s1
The Outer Limits (two collections of individual episodes)
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Essentials

23

Probably about 500 discs, over 400 titles. I used a Mac program called DVDpedia to keep track of my collection. It also looks up the MSRP for each title when entered into the database. According to that, my collection has a retail value of about $8500.

24

We only have about 60, but the coolest by far is The Evil Dead, in the Book of the Dead case.

Yep, nothing says love like a DVD case made of simulated flesh. :smiley:

25

TV shows:
Babylon 5 (5 seasons, movie box set, original movie disks)
Dune miniseries
Firefly
Gargoyles - season 1
Hitchhikers GTTG
Jonny Quest
Land of the Lost - season 1 *
The Prisoner (5 boxes bought separately)
Rocky & Bullwinkle - seasons 1 & 2 *
The Tick (live action - bought hoping to encourage animated version on DVD)

Approximately 50 movies

I keep my TV shows in my TV stand, movies are in a dvd shelf.

Here’s my collection, relatively small but consistently high-quality:

I buy a lot of used DVDs through eBay and Half.com, since I hate paying full retail price for anything.

27

Here is my list. It is UTD, as far as I know except for the Warren Miller DVD’s that I got this year- they aren’t listed at DVD afficianado yet.

28

I have 306.

29

Here’s my list after the latest culling (just under 800 titles).

30

I have 159 titles listed on IMDB plus some that I can’t list (or don’t know how)…

-The three extended editions of Lord of the Rings
-The two seinfeld box sets
-The first two simpsons seasons
-The first two Smallville Seasons
-The first season of 24

I’d be happy to post the link if someone knows how to do that (from imdb).

31

Here’s most of what I gots. I have a few music items that I can’t find in DVDaficionado, including the John Mayall “Turning Point/Godfather of British Blues” documentary that I just got.

32

337 as of a couple months ago. I tend to buy in spurts. My collection is varied and I have everything from anime to independant films.

33

Hmm.

196 titles, but some of them are box sets … a lot of them are box sets, actually.

679 individual discs.

So far.

Hmm.

34

Wait, I don’t get that as a rule of thumb. Would anyone buy a movie they haven’t seen? How can you possibly know you want to own it if you’ve never seen it?

35

402 dvd
2,076 vhs (+/-)

I carry a 12-page list (3 columns per page, about 63 lines per column, 6 sheets printed both sides), with me when shopping to avoid duplication. My list is in an MS Word alphabetical table. Last 3 sprees + gifts included:

Abbott & Costello Show (3 episodes) ($1.00)
About Schmidt
The Core
Dick Van Dyke Show (4 episodes)($1.00)
Gods Must Be Crazy 1 & 2
Italian Job (1969)
Maid in Manhattan
Moon Over Harlem/Juke Joint/Song of Freedom/Big Fella (Paul Robeson set)
Lord of the Rings-Return of the King extended
Primary (re JFK campaign)
Ray Bradbury Theater (65 episodes-28 hours)
Ray Charles Live in Brazil-1963
Rocketship X-M/Destination Moon (1954)
School Ties
Sex, Lies & Videotape ($6.99)
Tom & Jerry (9 episodes)($1.00)
Unfaithful

36

I’d make a link for mine, but it’s easier to list them here:

*American Beauty
Love Actually *

I’m not much into seeing movies over and over, but I love these two. oddly enough I haven’t watched them since i bought them. So many i haven’t seen.
I’d love to buy Family Guy or Soprano’s, but I can’t imagine forking out $40 -$60 for something I’ll watch once or twice maybe. I can rent them for little or get them for free from the library.

37

Let’s see. Including the three Lord of the Rings DVDs, I have three.

But the kids have some, maybe a dozen or so – all the Pixar movies, the Harry Potter movies, plus Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away, and Castle in the Sky (my five year old is quite the Miyazaki fan).

And my wife has some classics – Roman Holiday, Singing in the Rain, etc.

The collection looks pretty good on the shelf until you look close and see that most of the cases are Game Cube and Playstation games.
