Things about your DVD collection that you noticed you obsessive fuck

...

The problem with my collection is that I have too many still in plastic wrap. Too many that I may never get around to watching. I have cut back in the last year, I was spending too much money on these things. Now I see all these dvds that I rushed out and bought the first week sitting in the $3-$5 sale bins. Irritates the shit out of me.

As of this weekend, the 2 single movies I own that take up the most space by themselves are SIN CITY and WINDTALKERS.

Whoops.

new category:
Elicits the most wtf response from visitors: ALIEN NATION (TV)

Movie series I felt compelled to complete: The Matrix (I found the whole Ultimate Edition set for $6), Pirates of the Caribbean. Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm street came in sets, so I don't think that counts.
Movie series I did not feel compelled to complete: X-Men, Blade (I only own part 2), Die Hard.
Shitty movie series that are on the top shelf: 3 Faces of Terror, Cannibal Ferox, From Hell (though I still enjoy it), Hell of the Living Dead/Rats, Murder Rock, The Mutilator, Argento's Phantom of the Opera, Resident Evil,
CHUD movies I own : I've not been here long enough to know all of these, but I'll guess Abominable, Behind the Mask, Brick, The Fountain, Hot Fuzz, Oldboy (?), Running Scared, Slither.
Animated Disney movies I own: Lion King, Rescuers, 101 Dalmatians, Jungle Book, Peter Pan, Every Pixar movie but Cars.
Videogame movies I own: Resident Evil
DVDs I have never watched: Barton Fink (though I have seen the movie), The Tenant.
DVDs that I want to throw away: Igby Goes Down, The Punisher (2004).

I'll add:
Movies with Cannibal in the title: 5
Movies with Dead, Die or Death in the title: 32
Movies with American in the title: 6
Movies I own more then one copy of: Aligator, Army of Darkness, Hard Boiled, Evil Dead, Hot Fuzz, Ichi: the Killer, El Topo, Lady Vengeance, The Last Hunter, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie/Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, Bay of Blood, Oldboy, Phantasm 1 and 3, Zu Warriors of the Magic Mountain, Almost every Dario Argento film.

Well, heck, I own BRICK and OLDBOY, too, but left them out of my post. We've gotta get a better definition of a CHUD film.

...

Oh shit, I totally misunderstood 'top shelf'. You meant it literally, I thought you meant it as in "Stuff you don't hide from company".

I know. He's missing out on the air guitar.

It can't possibly live up to the amazing Troll 2 dance number in front of the bathroom mirror, but the prospect of air guitar has motivated me to watch Troll this week.

Mine are all alphabetical too, except for Fulci, Argento, and Bava movies, and television series have their own section.

On my actual top shelf there's nothing I'd consider bad...though I'm sure PLENTY of folks would disagree with me when they say ATHF:MFFT and Anthropophagus.

My money is on THE BURBS. Don't leave us in suspense!

Wrong, idiots! It is LIKE MIKE, in which he gives a powerhouse performance as "Dad Outside Arena".

Grand L. Bush: 5

Don't any of you people own COLORS!?!

Same here.
The Weapons, Die Hard, Colors and Bad Influence.


My total lack of Brewster's Millions is appalling.

I have 4 Jessica Harper movies.

Suspiria, Pennys From Heaven, Phantom of Paradise and Minority Report?
Edit: no wait, Shock Treatment instead of Pennys from HEaven.

Count me in for 6 Grand L. Bush movies.

I didn't think of the View Askewniverse films. I only kept three of those, and I also forgot that Jason Goes to Hell was not part of the Paramount set.

That's fucking impressive! I only have two. I'd like to track down House on the Edge of the Park though.

Perry Pirkanen films: 3

Yep. I don't think Pennies is even on DVD. I do also want to get My Favorite Year someday as well.

Holy shit do I suck in that department. I own I think 400 or so DVDs, and only maybe 5 or 6 qualify for that(and 2 of them are Kurosawa). I have maybe 6 more on VHS, but who counts that?

My collection lacks Trainspotting, despite the fact it's my favorite Danny Boyle movie. Yet I own 5 other movies he's directed.

I own every Coen Bros. film except their first 2 on DVD. Why? Damn if I know(especially when it comes to Intolerable Cruelty and the Ladykillers). I do, however, have Blood Simple and Raising Arizona on VHS(and Crimewave too!).

*edit- Fuck, forgot. I don't own the Hudsucker Proxy in any form. Goddamn snapper cases, holding me back!

Woo! I wish there was a prize. I'm pretty proud of that Minority Report mention, by the way.

It's not a DVD collection without Cannibal Apocalypse, City of the Living Dead, The Church, Stage Fright, and The Sect (though that one's hard to find). Apparently he was in Gangs of New York, that was number 8.

That's a good one. I've got 76 if you include sets as one.

Criterion DVDs - 30
Television DVDs - 112 differant seasons
Professional Wrestling DVDs - 49
Fancy multiple Disc box sets (Elm Street Series, Godfather Trilogy, Alien Quadrology, Bladerunner briefcase, etc...) - 20

I own 10 Criterions, 2 of which are Micheal Bay films.

*hangs head in shame*

Number of movies I own called Combat Shock: 1.

Most pointless DVD I own: Full-screen version of LOTR: Fellowship

For the first part of this thread, I wondered why nobody felt compelled to complete the DIE HARD series, which is a great series.

Then I remembered the existence of LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD.

Thanks a lot, assholes.

I've also got him in Cannibal Ferox.

I own the Planet of the Apes remake, but not the original.
The only Pixar film I own is The Incredibles.
I own LFODH, but none of the other Diehard films.
I own The Transporter 2, but not The Transporter.
# of HD-DVDs: 5 (My 5 free ones still haven't arrived)

I have more DVDs scored by Howard Shore than any other composer.

Not counting TV actors (the MST3K guys top the list thanks to my obsession with that show), Bruce Campbell and Steve Buscemi are the most represented actors in my collection, tied with nine a piece.

Steven Spielberg tops the list of directors with 13 films, but Tarantino, John Carpenter, Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi and Terry Gilliam are right there nipping at his heels with six each.

I have no desire to complete the Spider-Man or Pirates of the Caribbean sagas.

I should really sell Blade: Trinity

ETA: CHUD movies owned: Oldboy, The Fountain, Children of Men, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Shaun of the Dead, Pan's Labyrinth, three Broken Lizard flicks

I own more Criterions and high-brow dramas, than I own comedies, and if I get one, it's usually as a gift.
I own Red, but not White and Blue
I own . . . *quietly, with head down* . . The Postman
I own Road to Perdition, but not Millers Crossing (this shall change soon, I promise)
I own Driving Miss Daisy
I own Fanny and Alexander (the criterion) and I still haven't watched it
I have Season's two through eight of The Simpsons, but not Season One

time on hands
