Tell me about your DVD collection!

[Turanil]

Today I got a lok at my DVD collection. Normally I collect fantasy and sci-fi movies. I just noticed that I have got much less of these than I believed. So far I do have 95 DVDs: 30sci-fi, 19 medieval & fantasy, 13 wuxia, 7 western, and 26 others. In 2004 I bought very few DVDs because much of my low income gone into rpg products where entertainment was considered. I think that in 2005 I will spend again much more on DVDs and much less on d20 products (huh... ). At least, I still have about 20 DVDs on my list, that I want to get.

What about you?!

I tend to go for the boxed sets. I don't watch a lot of t.v. and I don't have patience so a lot of old things are fairly new to me.

Sopranos: 4 seasons
Simpsons: 5 seasons
Family Guy: 3 seasons
Critic: 3 seasons
Carnival: 1 season
Shield: 2 seasons
Fawlty Towers: whole series

etc...

 

[DaveMage]

All 7 seasons of Star Trek: TNG
4 Seasons of the Simpsons
About 2 dozen movies
5 Seasons of M*A*S*H
1 season of Original Star Trek (Season 2)
1 season of Futurama (Season 4)

I don't have a large collection, and it's oddly-proportioned because some of it was purchased because the films were course texts at university. Most of my own choices are genre films.

I own Unforgiven, The Maltese Falcon, Highlander II because one of my friends is a mean bastard, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, X-Men, X2, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, It, The Omen, Damien: Omen II, The Omen III: The Final Conflict, The Devil's Advocate, Scream, House On Haunted Hill (the 1999 remake), Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sleepy Hollow, The Matrix, El Mariachi and Desperado on a single disc, Blackadder seasons 1 and 2, and a few random half-seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

How unsatisfying.

I am somewhat selective in my DVD purchases, but am becomming less so. I started out buying all of my favorite Eastwood Westerns and comedies. Uncle Buck, Ferris, Caddy Shack, etc. From there I added fav action movies such as Braveheart, Gladiator, etc. RotK & SW were my last purchases. I only buy movies I think I can watch a dozen or more times. I watch many of them while I paint miniatures.

Before my son was born a few years ago I was averaging about 5-6 DVD's a month, now It's like 5-6 DVD's every 5 to 6 months...

[Arnwyn]

You want to me count/categorize them?

Since I'm at work, I (thankfully) can't, so I'll just give a brief summary:

More than 150 DVDs, heavily weighted towards sci-fi and anime, with a healthy dose of martial arts (a complete Jackie Chan collection in North American releases) and a fair number of fantasy.
