    Just wondering if I am the only DVD fanatic on here? I'm sure that I'm not.

    I have well over 110 dvds. 16 of them are unopened. :eek:

    My list is over at DVD Aficionado


    There is also a great site for dvdcoupon's/information that I use. Anyone else go there? There are some guys over there that have 100's of dvds. Just imagine all the cash spent.

    I get almost all of mine through bargains. Either I buy them for 14.x at Wal-mart, or online with coupons, used at Blockbuster or through Ebay.

    I'd like to be, but I had all my CD's stolen a few months ago, and it's shattered me forever. I had a bajillion CD's that I had been collecting since '94, and after losing them I decided it just wasn't worth spending all that money.

    :(

    Ouch. Did you have insurance? I have about 400 CD's but stopped buying alot a few years ago. It would really hurt to lose them - can't replace some of them.

    Yes, I have a problem, but I have it under control now. My first 4 weeks as a DVD player owner led me to buy about 40 DVDs and join two DVD clubs....ugh.....now I am much more picky.

    Worst DVD I got for free with the player: Stepmom
    Worst DVD I owned just cause the movie sucked: XXX
    Worst DVD owned because of the transfer: Highlander
    Best DVD owned due to the repeat viewing factor: 5th Element
    Best DVDs owned due to special fx/sound: Matrix / FOTR extended
    Best DVD I got for free with the player: Contact

    I've balanced out at 60+ flicks but my list of "wanna buys" is huge.

    Do you have kids or do you just like Sesame Street? :)

    What's kinda funny is I bought some of the Disney classics and didn't like them that much and was able to sell them for twice what I bought them for when Disney did their moratoriums, one was Little Mermaid.

    Speaking of worst DVDs.... Uhh I own Last Action Hero and I love it :p

    I forgot to mention, I am an avid Columbia House user myself. They have some great deals, don't go for the regular hook/line/sinker. They are some great codes that avg under $8 per dvd.

    I stopped buying DVD's compulsively after I joined Netflix. I only buy things I just love watching over and over, like Aliens or Catgirls in Heat. (OK I think I made up the last one.)

    I'm glad you made this post Sonny. I've added probably about 12 dvds thanks to the Columbia House thread you made previously. I knew you made a list of your dvds on a site, but I could not find the site. Now I know, and I'm off to make my own list.

    Work in Progress

    Thank you. I feel a whole lot less guilty for quickly accumulating a mere 13. :)

    Hey, Cabin Boy and Novocaine was in the four dollar bin at Wal-Mart, what's a guy supposed to do. ;)

    Glad you liked it! :)

    That place is awesome for tracking your DVD's. You have 3 I already want to get Dogma, Resident Evil and American History X. Good choices.


    Thanks Woofer - those are old pics... he is almost 3. Growing up too fast. :(

    Here is a newer pic when he went to Old McDonald Farm New Pic :D



    Cohen - that's awesome. I'll get there one day, without my wife's approval. :D

    You know, Resident Evil was a terrible movie, but I bought just for 2 reasons...and they are very good reasons in my opinion.

    1. Laser cube scene early in the movie.
    2. Cooch shot at the end.

    Man, for some reason I really liked it. Just a cool plot. I've always enjoyed the Night of the Living Dead/The Stand type of movies. I am a big Milla fan also ;)

    Anyone here wanna swap their unwanted DVDs?

    Two of mine that I don't think I'll ever rewatch are Little Nicky and Shakespeare in Love.

    you get extra cool points for having nightmare on elm street in your collection.

    my favorite that i have is... hmm... it's probably between jackass and the matrix.

    i plan on getting the transformers dvds (original cartoons) from bestbuy sometime soon.
