How many people collect movies on dvd? If so, how many movies do you have? I have a 125 movies on dvd so far. Just curious to see if there are any other collectors out there.

I'm almost embarrassed to say this, it makes me into a bit of a movie geek, but my collection counts 1300+ DVD titles :-)

We don't collect movies. There area few we will buy, but its very rare. We just don't normally watch the same movie more then once or twice, so its not really worth it to us to collect them.

It makes sense to not buy dvds if you will not watch them more than once. I watch many of mine multiple times but there are some that I will not watch more than once.

I am getting one as I have a DVD player in my computer now thanks to a good friend but I am hoping to save enough money to be able to buy myself a portable DVD player....maybe for christmas.

I recently bought a portable dvd player and it is nice and did not cost too much. It was on sale at the time. Hope that you are able to get one so you can watch movies anywhere. Sometims I watch movies on my computer as well.

Oh my goodness! I have not even tried to count mine! Not only do I buy all the movies we want to see but we also collect some tv series. I have all of Buffy and Angel. I have the two seasons of Dark Angel. The first 4 seasons of Alias. All 6 seasons of Gilmore Girls and one season of Dawson's Creek. I have movies galore! From kids movies, Lilo and Stitch and Nanny McPhee...to Emily Rose and V for Vendetta. I don't think I could catalog all my movies in one day. But ya know...I just may try this summer when I can get all the help from the kids. I have movies in the Den and the Front Room...then I have movies and collections upstairs in the master bedroom. Wow...there are a lot of movies. But the way I see it. It is better to buy for us than it is to go to the theathre. With seven kids and two adults...that would be a small fortune. So spending the 20 bucks on a movie and a few more on microwave popcorn...is far cheaper than seeing it on the big screen. :)

I too have some tv series in my dvd collection as I have COPS and I also have Wonder Woman tv series on dvd in addition to all the movies that I own. I own probably about 130 dvds right now. It is much cheaper to get the movie on dvd, whether buying or renting plus you can pause it to use the restroom. :-)

I don't collect them myself. I borrow them from my son who borrows them from friends. It's cheaper that way, and I get to see a lot of movies. Prior to home movie viewing, I never went to theaters or saw any movies.

Yes, I agree that it is cheaper to borrow from people you know. My coworkers always borrow movies from me when they want to see something. :-) I don't have anyone to borrow movies from.

Yes, we have a DVD collection, so far we have about 100, we also have a VHS tape collection. We try to add a DVD to the collection once a month, sometimes more, depending on price.

I am usually buying at least one or more movie a month. I used to have a VHS collection until DVDs came out and I sold my VHS movies. Just bought Mission Impossible 3 yesterday.

I'm pretty sure we don't have that many yet! We rent a lot of dvd's, so we don't always buy them. My husband's taste in movies is not the same as mine, so we own a lot of horror and psychological thrillers or R-rated movies. We only have a few of the PG or PG-13 adventure-type movies I like such as Batman Begins, Superman Returns, Zorro, etc. But, we are buying more and more as they come out on special. And sometimes we buy the "previously viewed" ones from Blockbuster and get a really good deal. We have never gotten one that had any flaws in it so far.

It sounds like you are building up quite a collection and a collection doesn't have to be a ton. I see there are people that have way more movies than I do. LOL I have not been buying quite as many lately myself. I have Batman Begins and Superman Returns as well.

That is a very nice collection. You don't have to have a ton of movies to be a collector. You are probably wise and buy just the movies that you enjoy the most. I buy ones that I already have seen and like and ones that I think I would like.

It is more important to have movies you like than to have a lot of movies that you may or may not like. I have a few movies that I wish that I had not bought. Probably couldn't give some of them away for free.

Sort of.. I can't ressit the one and two dollar, or five dollar movies once in awhile, when I see them. Some of them aren't too bad.. But I never watch them and can barely remember what I have.. I like the old classics best, black and white mysteries and westerns..

That is nice and certainly nothing wrong with that. Classic movies are nice to watch. It is nice to get movies at a lower price since they can be expensive now.

Very nice collection. What is barterbee? I have kept all my dvd movies so far but might get rid of a few that I don't like.

Wow. That is a lot of movies. :-) Some movies I can watch multiple times, like Lord of the Rings but other movies I will only watch once or twice. There are some movies I regret buying. LOL

I don't personally collect DVD's, but my husband does. He has this urge of buying DVD's all the time, but I cut it down to one DVD a year because I'm running out of a place to put them all. I like to watch movies in the theater, if I like it enough then maybe I'll get it on DVD.
@kgwat70 (13388)

That is a very good idea to watch them in the theatre before buying them on dvd. He must have a ton of movies if there is no place to put them. I don't need to buy them all the time. It is mainly the ones that I see in the theatre.
