Page 1 of Who the hell owns 500+ DVD`s?

..........and do you have a girlfriend?

1) What percentage of your DVDs would you say you have actually watched?

2) What percentage have you watched more than once?

3) Do you get films knowing that they will suck but buy them anyway?

4) If you have them ;) what do your partners reckon to you spending all your time and money on DVD`s? (The reason i ask is that my mrs moans on if i buy more than 2 or three discs a month :( )

Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent.
Forty percent of all people know that.

I can`t remember who it is who owns that amount, I`ve seen them say it on here before though and I just thought it was absolutely crazy. I`m sure there was one person who owned over 1000! :o

All of them - I dont buy dvd`s to have them lying around the place gathering dust.

Quote:
2) What percentage have you watched more than once?
Around 70%, all good films are very important to watch more than once.

3) Do you get films knowing that they will suck but buy them anyway?
The answer to that question is a certified NO. I only rent the crap films, not buy them.

I have no partner. :D

sold about 200 dvds in the last 2 months but not going to sell many more as you do not get that much money for selling them anymore.
most of the dvds i bought have been films i`ve already seen and get round to watching them now and again,
i`ve got all the dvds that i wanted and there`s only a few dvds left to buythat are coming soon or not available at all
star wars trilogy
fletch lives
weird science
mackintosh man
drowning pool
heat sp,goodfellas sp,casino sp,
cool hand luke
and a few more,i only like buying region 2 as well.

...............and do you have a girlfriend? Not meaning to be rude mate but that must take up a lot of your time.

I`ve got about 350 titles on DVD and expect to double that before i finally decide enough is enough.

My problem is that I have broad tastes when it comes to films -

Silent movies
Classic 1930`/1940`s mystery, horror, crime
Italian giallo, horror
film noir
Spaghetti Westerns
Asian horror
HK action movies
Japanese samurai movies

plus assorted classics from anywhere in the world

interstingly i only have about 20 DVD`s from films made after 1990.

I buy a lot of films on DVD just to watch - I then sell them on if i don`t consider them worthwhile re-watching although sometimes a film needs more than one viewing to do it justice.

Yes I have a boyfriend :)

1. I have watched every single one of them.

2. Probably about 60% but that`s only due to lack of time but that will all change when I get my portable player

3. Never! I only buy films that I have seen and really liked, I don`t waste my money on crap, that is what rentals are for.

4. I don`t spend all of my time or money on DVDs. I have a good job paying more than enough so I can spend my money how I like it, plus I have a supplier so I get most of my DVDs really cheap. My partner thinks it is great because he watches all of them with me, he is as addicted as I am! :p

There`s a hundered years worth of films out there, besides it`s better than p***ing away £50-£100 on alcohol every weekend.

And yes I do have a girlfriend.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how wrong it is ;-)

At least getting leathered involves going out the house! ;)
