How many DVDs (boxsets and dual jewels count as one) do you own? Answer up and give your three faves (not necessarily favorite to watch, but your best find).

I'm probably at 300 or so now, but the ones I prize most are my copies of The Warriors, A Boy and His Dog, and Beowulf and Grendel.

I don't find a lot of movies that are worth buying. Plenty worth seeing once at the theater or renting a couple times, but not to drop $20 for.
300 is worth buying, so is the animated series of Star Wars from Cartoon Network.

I sold a bunch I didn't watch anymore. Now I'm down to 20-30ish.

fucking what is the point of owning dvds again? regardless i have bought or been given ghost dog: way of the samurai, jackie brown, and most seasons of curb your enthusiasm, which isn't really representative of anything.

a friend of mine's dad has over 1000

about 30 I think

also, what atoga said :qft:

Alot of them I actually don't have at my own place anymore, since I left them at a friend's place after having lived there for a couple of months, and I never got them back and now she's not picking up when I call.

But, anyway, I'm rather happy that I own: Thank you for smoking, Shawshank redemption and (s/s) Martha.

Hundreds, and I know that at least 68 of them are Criterion Collection (yowza).

Nice. You overpaid for your entertainment by a factor of 3, you snobby ass.

I do like the Criterion editions of The Killers though.

It is quite nice. As far as the overpaid part Deepdiscount.com for the win.

I have never purchased a DVD.

I've been given 8-10.

I just cycle my Netflix pretty fast and watch shit online.

No offense, but I wonder about pictures I've seen on the Internet of the insides of people's domiciles in which there are bookcases full of DVD and VHS titles, and few if any books.

Post-Literacy?

I only buy the worst of movies, those that I can't find in stores here(if I'd look for them, that is). I have about 30ish DVDs, but there's plenty of room for more.

Not that anyone would care, but:

Jim Jarmusch Collection

my only DVD`s i have ever bought.

I own precisely 1 DVD box, it being Metallica's S&M. I didn't buy it. Harr harr, mateys (bitches)!

I have about 10 DVDs maybe, and I rarely watch them. I'm not a big fan of owning movies as I usually don't have the desire to watch a movie twice and if I do it's fairly rare. I bought a few DVDs just for the sake of making a DVD collection but I stopped that quick as I realized how stupid it was. I also used to copy all the movies I rented on Netflix but I then realized I have never once watched any of the copies I made.

i have around 200 or so but then i stopped just buying stuff as i was running out of room and money. my friend has around 1000 or so and his walls are filled with records, thats a fun haus.

a friend of a friend that I met while drunk (which only made it better and stranger) has all original artwork in his house. Nude princess peach, goombas all colored different - mostly Nintendo characters, but it was pretty freaky.

I won't buy a DVD unless it's something I know I'll watch 10 times or more - Conan, Dune, Da Boot, Drunken Master, Apocalypse Now etc...

I was into buying DVDs for a short while, then I bought The 13th Warrior. ugh.

What's wrong with that? It's not that bad of a Beowulf and Grendel adaptation.
