I watch all my DVDs over and over. I just bought the Deluxe Edition of Leon three days ago and have already watched it four times.(Of course, I've been off for two of those days so that's hardly normal.)

Netflix is better then buying dvds. I'll go through 5 or more dvds a week for $18 bucks a month. Pretty good deal to me.

Unless you actually like to have a wide choice at any given moment, rather than scheduling what you're going to watch based on what the company sends you.

I have to buy DVDs. If I rent them, I end up paying for them anyway.

Case in point: about two days ago I go looking to see what I feel like watching. The inner dialogue went sort of like this.

"Let's see. I got Star Wars... Lord of the Rings... Spiderman... Pitch Black... Bad Boys II... Willow... Spaceballs... Training Day... Saving Private Ryan... Enemy at the Gates... wait a fucking second, Training Day!? When did I buy Training Day!?"

I had rented it almost two months ago and totally forgot about it. Ended up owing Hollywood Video thirty bucks for it.

Yes, I did make an unqualified statement. It would have been more correct to say, "I think Netflix is better because you get more diverse content for you dollar." Happy now?

Love it. Great film. Not historically accurate, but neither is Pirates of the Caribbean and I love that flick too.

And yeah I like having a library, because sometimes I'm just in the mood to watch something again without having to plan in advance. Case in point: Predator 2. I've seen it a thousand times. Used to have it on tape. Wore the tape out. Same thing with John Carpenter's "The Thing".

Besides, collections are the only way I can see some shows like Miami Vice.

I don't know why I buy DVDs - last one I watched more than once was the extended edition of The Two Towers. Most of the DVDs I've bought that weren't gifts were impulse buys - Shrek, Monsters, Inc, Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2, The Incredibles... only watched once.

But parting with them is unthinkable because I might want to watch them again sometime... I kept trying to get my mother to watch the LOTR films since she liked the book so much. That's why she doesn't want to see them, she said...

I don't understand people who REFUSE to watch a film adaptation of a book/game/whatever because they watched/read/played the original. I mean, if the first was so great to begin with, why are they so afraid of having their, I don't know, memories of it replaced with something horrible?

I mean, when Starship Troopers the movie first came out, don't ask me why but I loved it. Then a couple years ago I found the book and read it. It was kind of out there, but I loved it in and of itself, without even considering the movie and/or the book to be related to each other in anything more than title.

Then again, Jurassic Park 2 brought stinging tears to my eyes....of anger.

I guess I'm just a hypocrite :\ But still, she should give the movies a chance before passing judgement.


And: I did a film report on Gladiator Teacher bloody loved it, wrote "A+" all over the paper. Just wish she liked my film report on Brotherhood of the Wolf even half as much

I need to get around to adding to my DVD collection again. I've watched just about every DVD I bought at least once. I haven't had a lot of free time, so finding the 1.5+ hours to sit down and just watch a movie isn't always convienent. And you're not always in the mood for The Shawshank Redemption(the only one I haven't watched).

I've got:
Shawshank
Hollywood Homicide
Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
The Matrix, Animatrix, Matrix Revolution
Pulp Fiction, Resovior Dogs
Starship Troopers
RvB seasons 1 + 2
and a good few others that I can't bring from the top of my head, and can't read from the glow of my monitor.

I've watched Pulp Ficiton 3 times over, Resovior Dogs 3 times, the Matrix way to many, along with Revolutions, Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma, RvBs been through a few times, and so on so forth. I lost my copy of The Last Samurai, it makes me sad because I watched it like 5 times and I still love it.

Damnit, now I want to watch a movie, but I have to go to sleep. LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID DETH!!!

Okay, so I can't find it anymore but I read in the Entertainment section of CNN.com sometime in the last three or four months that they're doing a theatrical rerelease of both volumes as one three hour long movie. Since Miramax no longer has to worry about appeasing Disney as the movie would surely grab a NC-17 rating with both of the films combined.

I might have to do one of those DVD spot things... That's actually pretty nifty!

And yeah, I buy pretty much all my DVDs from Amazon. Sometimes I'll snag some from a for sale/trade forum on Anandtech, seeing as most of the traders there are good guys. I'd trust most of them more than alot of online retailers.

Watching that movie is the cinematic equivalent of being forced to eat a shit sandwich. Without the bread. Or condiments.

That comment is all the more witty when you know that the guy who made the movie was a fertilizer salesman from El Paso.

I only buy movies I really like, or ones I think I will like. Everything I have I have watched at least 15 times a piece, except for Clerks which I've only watched about 10 times.

I currently have Varsity Blues, Badder Santa, All five of the Jersey Trilogy, Spirited Away, Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again, and Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail.

I intend to add Boondock Saints, Constantine, and The Matrix at least.

We have so many DvDs it's like we have a mini-video store in our living room.

We have a 3-shelf bookcase filled with Dvds, with two layers per shelf. Then we have 3 shelves of another bookcase with UBT's DBZ video collection. Also double-layered on eace shelf.

Plus Josh has his own DvD collection as well.

If we get in the mood for a kung-fu or samurai flick, or maybe a Godzilla film, or maybe something funny, or a good action flick, possibly sci-fi, all we have to do is spend 20 minutes staring at the collection before we find something we all agree on!
