"Yipes! I review and only have around 400! And that feels excessive to me, since I rarely re-watch movies these days."

Likewise, a lot of people ask me, well why don't you just rent if you're only going to watch a few time?

My value in my movies goes beyond the ratio of how much it would cost me to rent the movie as many times as I watch it vs the price of buying. It's just nice to have that convenience of being able to go to that movie whenever you want.

i Guess according to this post I have above average. Not all are on this list and there are way too many coming out before this year is up. The wife-o-meter won't let me buy anymore til after christmas too. That bites!

I have a couple.

Just a small 438 for me

Well, I don't have nearly as many as all of you. Only 195 right now.

I wonder how often people watch movies from their collections? I have a roommate who has almost as many DVDs as I do, but he never seems to watch them. Most he buys, watches once and then never seems to go back to it. That doesn't make much sense to me.

Although my collection is small, I'm happy to say that I've watched and re-watched 153 of the DVDs from my own collection this year alone. (Yes, I'm a DVD addict who is obsessive about keeping track of what I watch and when). So I'm curious to know if any one else out there with a huge DVD collection watches as often?

If I ever showed you my DVD collection spreadsheet, you'd probably have me commited.

I've only got 151 DVDs that are here in the database. I have a bunch of movies that have spawned from the internet (Freddy Vs Ghostbusters anyone?) and a whole lot of movies I'd be ashamed to list (tons of movies that are so far beyond guilty pleasure.) I've also got a few boxes of public domain movies that were thrown 5 to a double sided DVD in 50 movie packs that a friend gave me too, so if I had to guess I would probably have close to 400 movies. But still compared to most people I know the DVDs I have outnumber theirs 20 to 1 in some cases.

Anyone with more than 50 DVDs has the same problem of finding something to watch.

I'm at 433

It’s really scary to even imagine a home collection with more than 2.000 dvd’s .
Few questions:
1.How much it takes to watch all the dvd’s for a second time. ( not to take into consideration that collection is still growing )
2.How much place is needed to store all the dvd’s in your home?

My home collection is negligible compared to some aforementioned: only 21 dvd's
:D

I'm at a measly 192 titles in my collection. I consider myself a movie buff, and usually have to purchase the top titles (e.g. "Star Wars", "LOTR", etc.), I've even got 111 in my wish list, but, as a student I have had time to take account of my purchasing habits. Once I'm among you employed people again, I do plan on buying a lot of the titles on my wish list, however, my measly 192 titles at about $20 per title comes to $3,840!!! I look at those of you that have 400, 500, 600 plus movies, and I shudder to think what that comes out to be! Granted, that total comes gradually over the years, disc by disc, but wow is that a lot of money to blow on movies! That doesn't even count the amount of money you may have spent in the theater on each film!!

As I mentioned, since I've been a "starving student" I can think of a TON of other and better things I can spend that kind of dough on. Not to mention putting it in an IRA or 401k plan. Dang, I think I'm starting to show my "old" stripes. ;)
