Debbie does Dallas.

Hmmmmmmmm ;)

I just have 2. I wont buy anything unless I think I'm going to watch it a lot and I'm not into buying DVD's of stuff that I already have on video.

That's no fun. :p
I want a large collection.. I love it. :D

I'm almost at 150 titles now. I watch a lot of movies. I'd say there's only a handful in my collection that I've only watched once...the rest multiple times.

I'm surprized no one is admitting to it.:p

I'm not sure how many I have, but I'd would guess around 150 or so. I rarely go to the movies now though.

Have about 40. Just started getting them in earnest in Nov. Earlier I'd gotten Toy Story 1 & 2 and Ken Burns Jazz set on eBay. Since Nov. I've gotten:

LOTR (great adventure flick)
Matrix
Citizen Kane (came in the mail today)
The Terminator II
Mullholand Dr.
Titanic (watched it one night - fantastic!)
Ntl Lampoon Xmas Vacation
A Hard Day's Night
Gone With the Wind
Total Recall
2 DVDs of Buster Keaton flicks
When Harry Met Sally
Lawrence of Arabia
Pulp Fiction
Crouching Tiger...
Sex and the City (1st season)
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Children of Paradise
Star Wars - All 5
Cirque du Soleil Double Feature - Dralion and Quidam (I watched Quidam - amazing experience)
The Seventh Seal
Early 3 Stooges
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I've seen maybe 1/2 of these - at one time or another. I try hard to only get ones I think I will enjoy watching several times. My local library has a fair number of DVDs I have checked out. I've yet to rent a movie, although I have nothing against it. Here's my short list of DVDs I want to get:

A Beautiful Mind Awards Edition
Spider-Man
The Terminator
Blade Runner - The Director's Cut
Airplane!
Groundhog Day
Forrest Gump
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
Superman: The Movie
2001: A Space Odyssey

Edit:

Reading this thread yesterday, I discovered DVDProfiler and I registered and set up my collection today. You can see my collection here.

4 disc LOTR
Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been
Pearl Jam - Touring Band
Smashing Pumpkins - Greatest Hits Video Collection

I'd have more if I had more money, but when you have netflix (and a big hard drive), it's not really necassary to buy a bunch.
