In the spirit of what movies have you recently purchased I propose a "How many movies do you own?" thread!

I'll start us out. If I count TV box sets as 1 then probably just under 200. Thats a rough guess tho.

On DVD...approx 450

Plus another 200 on video...

Right now I have over 1,000 DVDs, which includes movies, TV, specials, porn, etc... I also have over 2,600 wrestling titles on DVD.

I worked in the video rental/sales business for 13 years & would get roughly 5-10 screeners a week. I had 6 big book cases & about 15 wooden peach crates all filled with tapes. Every shelf was full and then I had tapes stacked sideways in front of the others stacks. Then I had over 800 blank tapes with 3-4 movies on each tape.

I ended up selling or taping over most of the screeners and throwing out most of the blank tapes just because I didn't have the room anymore & I figured everything would eventually be on DVD. I'm still kicking myself for doing it since I had a lot of movies that you just cannot find anywhere.

wow... you guys have a lot of movies... So here is a question? How do you organize them? For me with just a couple hundred I First sort them by case style. Normal DVD cases first, then Snapper Cases, then box sets. Then alphabetize each section.

My wife thinks I'm crazy. [Smile]
 
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
 
I aplhabetize too! My husband thinks thats so anal retentive (my daughter , who is 8, does it too) He makes jokes that when I put the groceries away I alphebetize them!

The other day I looked at my VHS collection, which I recently "downsized" and was shocked to see theres over 100 in there. (About 130) and I have even more DVD so i'm guessing about 200 or more (Maybe I'll count this weekeend). He says I have a lot but to me it doesn't look like so much.

I keep VHS in one drawer and DVD in another.

Believe it or not, we went to a marraige counselor awhile back and this was one of the things he said that drove him crazy about me. "She collects movies and cds" SO WHAT? That is the worst thing The Man could think to say about me???
 
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
 
......Heres another question: Is it mostly "Old Stuff?" I think my husband gets mad that all my stuff is 70s and 80s. He's like "Lets watch the new Wil Smith movie" and I'm like "Nope!" and I would rather watch NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET for the millionth time. That drives him nuts!
 
Posted by Phanstar (Member # 4235) on :
 
Well I would say that mine is a pretty odd blend. Its about 30 percent old stuff, 25 percent Kids movies, 25 percent TV Box Sets, and then the rest is newer stuff.

Kids movies are always worth the money I spend on them, because the kids will watch them again and again. Also, I just LOVE TV Box Sets... I'm only sad I cant really afford to buy most of the ones I want and they put em out so fast and then they go out of print and I'm left thinking DAMN. [Smile]
 
Posted by Phanstar (Member # 4235) on :
 
So I seriously hope he is joking and you dont actually alphabetize the groceries.

But seriously people tell me its anal, but when you have 200+ movies who wants to dig around for forever trying to find just the one you want? There comes a point where your collection reaches a certain size and you must approach it with a certain level of organization. Otherwise its a waste.
 
Posted by NOMS in 2D (Member # 2688) on :
 
I was running out of space for my collection so I bought CD wallets that hold 200 discs each and stored all my discs alphabetically in there and keep all the boxes in storage in my garage. Saves room and means when you look through the books you are more likely to see what you own rather than when you are scanning the shelves.

Hi! I organize all my movies by genre. So I have an 80's section,Romance,Kids,tv,drama and so forth. Then I alphabetize!
 
Posted by Phanstar (Member # 4235) on :
 
Ive wanted many times to sort my movies by genre too. But then I start getting Obsessive compulsive about what genre certain movies fall in and every few days I change my mind and move them from one to the other... so to save myself the insanity I just alphabetize. But I definately dont mix snapper cases in with normal dvd cases... that just looks tooooooooo ugly.

508 DVDs and growing weekly.
There used to be a thread that I started called"Post you collection" but alas it has gone away. [Frown]
 
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
 
It would take us too long to post them all anyway!

Posting them by genre is hard cuz alot of the ones I consider "cult" are also "horror" movies...so ...where do I put them? Alphabetical order is the best way. The other day I went to pull one out and that whole stack fell over. But it was easy to put everything back where it was...cuz its in alphabetical order. I imagine when your digging through an unorganized pile you knock a lot more stuff over.
 
Posted by COOLBREEZE62 (Member # 5609) on :
 
Over 500...Easy! Not sure..have to count sometime!
 
Posted by Phanstar (Member # 4235) on :
 
Wow you guys make me not feel so bad for having a couple hundred dvds [Smile]

ok then next question. What movie in your collection would you say you have watched the most times?

Mamamiasweetpeaches I can totally relate to the story about your husband getting mad that you would rather watch "Nightmare on Elm Street" then a new dvd. I have about 200 dvd but recently started purchasing 80's horror dvd's weekly. I would say I'm buying about 6 a week. For the past couple months my fiance would be like lets go rent a movie. And i tell him, let's just watch The Gate or Trick or Treat i just got it in the mail. It drives him crazy.

I told him too if that's the worst thing you can say about me then you are one lucky guy.

The movie I probably have watched a million times would be "Sixteen Candles", "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".

I've been having so much fun recently buying dvd's and starting a collection. It's all i talk about!!!!!
 
Posted by Phanstar (Member # 4235) on :
 
Im looking forward to getting some new horror movies this Halloween season. I think I've settled on Nightmare on Elm St. and Pet Semetary!
 
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
 
You should try and find the nice cheap boxset with all the elm streets. I got mine off amazon last year for just £15 [Smile]
 
Posted by minna (Member # 5984) on :
 
Well well... I just counted em, and I now have 162 movies. Remember, I'm 19 years old, and I haven't been collecting for that long! Anyway, to the question how I organize em, I have a long answer, heh. First I have the dvd boxes on my shelf, then I have some movies organized by the actor.

Sly Stallone
Al Pacino
Clint Eastwood
Kevin Costner
Andy Garcia
Jean-Claude Van Damme

Then, I had em arranged by the release years, but I changed em in alphabetical order, and now I'm changing em again back to release years, so that all the 80s movies are in the same place, cos I'm often looking for em. It's not easy to find movies when they are in aphabetical order even though you might think so. It gets kinda difficult when some of the titles are in English and some of em are in Finnish, and I remember some titles only in English and some only in Finnish. So, I always look in the wrong place. So, arranged by the release year I find my dvds pretty easily cos I have a good memory with em.
 
Posted by Mire Mare (Member # 5900) on :
 
386 by my last count a mix of both R1 & R2, all in studio format i.e. Warner, 20th Century Fox and of course alphabetized!

Latest additions include, Escape from New York SE & Monster Squad SE!

Most watched, The Big Labowski, Fletch & The Burbs!

Rarities include, Q the Winged Serpent, 7 Faces of Dr. lao, Lair of the White Worm, The Return of the Living Dead Part 2, The Punisher (Dolph) & The Keep!

Does anybody now if we can post pictures of our collections or home entertainment set ups!

Autobiographical.

So if I want to find, for example Fletch Lives, I have to remember that I bought it for a friend, then never gave it to them because of that occasion we don't mention any more, then they moved away and I ended up keeping it - which points me to the spring of 1999 - and there it is, right next to True Grit, which was bought for a completely different reason entirely, but a week before........

All of the above would be a real pain, were it not for the fact I only have two DVDs.....

This is a very difficult question. I'm thinking over 500 movies on all media. The more difficult question is "Do I throw out VHS tapes when I upgrade to DVD for movies that I love?" By that I mean, I have a mess of movies that I taped way back in the day that still work that have original commercials, Night Flight/USA Up All Night promos, and music videos from the era on the tape. What if I am the only person alive who has a copy of some of this stuff, and I throw it out? I would be destroying the only evidence left to part of the past. [Frown]

OK, at least that's how I justify keeping everything! [Cool]
 
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
 
Yeah Crash, keep everything. It is great stuff.

I still have Magnum PI that my parents taped off TV from about 1982.

Posted by kevdugp73 (Member # 5978) on :
 
I'm all DVD now, with the exception of a few VHS. I got rid of almost all my VHS, which was hard to do. Not that long ago, I was very particular about my 80's VHS tapes, and always looked for very specific original covers....the look of the original covers (the ones I would have seen as a kid in the video stores) still give me a little chill...I love love love to look at them. Alas, I ran out of room and gave them all to my mother in law. Only problem is...I still occassionally see them....and...I kinda want them back! * Already have reclaimed a few. I may re-claim them all someday and just give her DVD transfers or something...she has absolutely no emotional attachment to them. I've replaced almost every one with an original DVD, sometimes getting my wife to make me a new DVD cover to mimic the original VHS one.

Sorry long winded. My collection now stands, all DVD:

400 ish of 80's DVDs
100 ish horror films
200 ish 1990 and beyond
100 ish pre 1980
90-100....CHRISTMAS MOVIES!! (Shameful, I know...but I loves them so)
30+ of 70's - 80's TV box sets
10 or so VHS

So....1000 X approx. 2 hours each = 2000 hours of movie lovin' fun!

Logan, man, I hear you. This is one of life's most difficult decisions for me, as I stare at my VHS copy of "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Fabulous Stains." I know that there's a Special Edition DVD, but for many, many years I was one of the few people who had seen this movie and had a copy of it. That's a lot of sentimental memories!

Tell me about it dude(apart from the whole entering the 30's bit, cos I am turning 30 in two months  - Yeah, people said to me, oh you will regret getting out after a couple of months. It's been almost exactly three years and have not regretted it once. I sometimes sit on the couch while watching an 80's movie like Milo and Otis and think about the people in the army and I'm like ha hah suckers. You can do your BFA while I kick back with my iced coffee and my furry litlle compadres.

i chucked all my VHS tapes in the bin when i moved house & decided to go all DVD, bad mistake, did'nt realise how much stuff on those tapes are hard to get, it's took me 5 years to get 70% of what i had & i'll probably never get the rest cuz a lot of it was t.v. stuff, for instance i taped a short film on bbc2 called Dirty Something with rachel weisz, paul reynolds & bernard hill, cant find it anywhere, there's loads like that, NEVER CHUCK YOUR TAPES AWAY,
