ok I counted. Without counting documentaries( Ken Burns Civil War, WWII docs, etc), TV show discs (Seinfeld, Heroes, Family Guy, etc), concert discs (The Wall, Live at Pompei, Song Remains the Same, etc) and UFC/Pride dvds I have 541. Adding those would make it about 650 or so.

Wow, I never realized.

Counting only movies, I have 70, so I underestimated.

I've spent years with dvd-purchasing as my primary vice. Just bought 'Mystic River,' Doubt,' 'Gran Torino,' and 'Eight Legged Freaks' and that brings my total up to 1392. That doesn't count tv series that I've been purchasing either. I've slowed down considerably in the last year. There aren't that many new releases that I'm interested in.

I just can't bring myself to buy many dvds. I have to watch something multiple times to be able to justify that in my own mind. I'm sure there's more people like me that just think that there's no way I would ever watch 500 dvds multiple times. Not saying there's anything wrong with it as everyone has their own stuff they do...

I figure that with DVD's being cheaper now, you can buy the DVD's and save money on renting them multiple times. Also, you don't have to worry about other people getting shit on the discs.

Also, you guys should get DVD Aficionado accounts. Then we can all compare our collections.

I once had a pretty damn good collection, but sold most of them a little bit ago when I was really strapped for cash. I tried to wittle it down to only movies that I absolutely NEED for emergency purposes, so my collection right now is about 40-50 deep and consists only of my must haves, plus a few that I can neither sell nor watch ever again thanks to missing or scratched discs...which is why I no longer rent out dvds that I actually care about.

You rent out your DVDs?

Oh, yeah. I should say loan, I don't charge or anything. If I have it and someone wants to borrow it, I let them. Just doing my part to spread awareness of my favorite films.
