cheers
u have a great dvd collection by the way

Thanks, it could be better, there was a few movies I blindly bought.

we all do that sometimes lol

I'll have a pic in the next few days and nice collection Dean.

http://www.corsicas.com/corys/dvdcollection.jpg

Here's mine, 204 strong. The stack on the right are the LOTR EE's, Seasons 1-3 of "24", the "Alien Quadrilogy" 9 Disc set and some others. I'm planning on buying a bookshelf at IKEA soon to facilitate all of them.

Haha..this thread reminds me of that one scene in "American Psycho"...

Mine

nice collection guys

Very nice guys, bah I wish i had a camera

http://www.corsicas.com/corys/dvdsrepost.jpg

Will take an image soon when I load on the photo software for my digital camera.

I am going to have to get one of the those shelving units soon, I have dvds all over the place because my shelf unit it full.

Ha, what a great film. I didn't really enjoy the ending though.

Nice

Mine is weak.Im a rental kind of guy.

So am I, but there are just some films I HAVE to own. I mean, I rent on average 40-45 movies a month, and have done so for 4 months now.

My DVD stack is all over the place. Some are downstairs, some in my room, some in my bros room.

I don't think you can have a DVD collection without all three Original Star Wars movies. It simply can not be done.

If I put it all together, it would resemble something like yours Dean.

Shit that's a lot of DVDs'!

Rarely is there a movie that comes along that I have to buy.

Comes along? What about the past? I recognize the different levels of fanaticism in movies, of course.

I buy every movie that I even moderatly like

I dont

of course I only have about 30 DVDs

I rent a ton of movies every month though

Im not very good at buying movies that have come out a while back even though I really do enjoy them.I usually dont have the money to spend on a dvd and when I do there's usually something new that I want to pick up.I think the last dvd I bought was"King Aurthur" around Christmas time

King Arthur yuck!

I actually liked it despite all the crap I was hearing about it.I bought the unrated version so it was extra bloody.I think thats why I ended up liking it so much.

I can't get in any closer because i'm doing it on my webcam.

Dude your crazy.....^

thats one hell of a collection
how many dvds u got there?

My guess is somewhere between 1000 and 1500

notworthy

There is 1800 approximately.

I counted 2 shelves and on each shelve there was around 40.

So that x 46 shelves if I counted correctly.....

So how long have you been collecting DVD's?

Someone needs to *cough*GET A LIFE*cough*

at last count i had about 13 DVDs

here's some various angles on my collection, sorry I took it with a crappy digicam

jez you crazy


i'll take a picture later...i've got like 10 the rest i'll rent or download if i'm desperate

"Someone needs to *cough*GET A LIFE*cough*"

Why?


furryman- Love your sig, Last Life in the Universe is fantastic.

if u have the money...then by all means..buy dvds....i would

thanks; tis.

You're only like thirteen. I'm guessing that you just searched on google for "dvd collections" and posted the picture here as your own. Explaining why you can't have a closer picture, because you actually don't have that collection.

I always could be wrong of course.

One more thing there is only 1560 dvds, at most. I counted a little high.

Any chance we can get you to take another picture of the collection, with a piece of paper with your name written on it, taped/placed infront of them?

I know people a little bit older than him with big dvd collections.

I agree, Time Of Evil should definately agree to these conditions.

I feel so minuscule, i only have about 110

I only have 96.

55-dvds
17-box sets

Size doesn't matter, because if ToE actually has these alleged 1,800 movies, imagine how much literal shit he must have. I don't mean that in saying his taste is poor, but you'd literally have to have bought some poor movies, as well as accounting for a lot of impulse buys.

Well DVD's do become an addiction, and sometimes you buy movies you only like a little bit

There's alot great low-budget flicks out there that you can find for 5 bucks or less and there pretty good

I agree, I only buy dvds I know I like. I rent the rest on netflix.

that photo belongs to a 13 year old?! Your parents must spend a lot of money on you.

the dvds could belong to his dad

Ya more then half of that stuff probobly bullshit

Its probaly a family dvd collection

In saying that you are correct. Myself, Dad, Mum,2 Sisters and Uncle have contributed to this. Alot of them my dad brought, and Uncle, but I contributed a fair bit.

yayaya now take a picture of that collection and have a paper with you nick on it, then I'l fully belive you

Here. Believe it or not its mine.

its true, this is time of evil's collection. im his freind and ive seen it at his house.

BTW its the spare room

Well thats one hell of a collection, so any good stuff in there like Ben Hur, Citizen kane, or is it just new movies?

if i had money then id probably have a collection like that..but all ive got is this ...im a disgrace i need to book my ideas up

Atleast I was right that it wasn't yours.

It's part his.

Partially isn't good enough, lol. I spent the hundreds of dollars that it took to build my collection. Me, me, me.

You mean None were given to you as gifts?

How sad

Word.

A few from the girlfriend, perhaps, but for the most part, it was all me.



Don't want/need your pity. I don't like for other people to buy me movies. It's my hobby, my enjoyment hunting them down, etc.

OMG wow I'm proud of you people haha! You needn't feel miniscule SlipknoT and You Suck I only have 37 But altogether in my house there are 49 (I am more of a film fan than other people in the house) I'm only 15 (well 16 this month) and I don't have enough money crybaby I can't wait til I've done my GCSEs and then get a job YAY! I would take a picture but it's kinda pathetic and I would be put to shame haha....

Well about 400 of them are mine, gifts, and money from my paper round.

All my movies are new, apart from the star wasr box set which i Brought yesterday off amazon.

Does The star wars original trilogy count?

Mine is something my family has contributed to .

nothing to be ashamed of.

Got any Ingmar Bergman films in your collection time of evil?

My Dad might, But i don't

So you guys have two dvd collections?

I've bought most of mine, but a few were presents from Christmas or Birthdays.

any one else got pics?

Dude, you must be really really rich or really really poor.

Have you got a pic of yours?

I might put a picture up when I load on the camera software, got a digital camera a few months ago and haven't loaded the software up for it.

Here's mine

Here's a freebie of my video collection!

Another pic!

Here's whats behind the pic above!

Wow, there's quite a few movies that wouldn't be worth buying in your collection,IMO.

Yeah.I buy alot of cheap dvd's and alot of the other dvd's I have are some of the stuff I bought for when I use to babysitt or when somebody else babysitted

Well, the majority of them look to be his parents. I don't see Beastro here as a big fan of Bonanza, Ozzie and Harriet, or I Love Lucy, lol.

Kudos on owning the FOX Star Wars VHS set. That's actually quite desirable.

There mine.Im actually a big fan of the classic shows

I didn't see that in there.

Its on my first picture of my VHS tapes.Its towards the right kind of blocked out

heres my vhs

cool

Ah, I have the newer release of those for vhs. http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6304539282.01._PE_SCMZZZZZZZ_.gif

Nice.Some old guy I used to live buy had those too

I'll take a picture of my shrinking video collection also, trying to sell them and replace the ones I love on dvd.

interesting

Can't blame you. VHS is a thing of the past, however......

Would they be valuable once the VHS is completely extinct?

None of the ones I am getting rid of, I am keeping some videos though.

I keep my video's.Good memories in em .

Videos take a lot of space here, especially with the big plastic boxes we use compared to your cardboard thin ones.

finally got software on, so here is my ever shrinking video collection for now:

1st Picture

Second picture

Third picture, forgive me if there is actually a way to put more than one in one post.

3 weeks and 43 DVDs later..

http://www.corsicas.com/corys/newdvd.jpg

Wow dude...

I need shelving like that, but need black lol. Can never find any perfect.

Nice one Cine

bastard

Many thanks. I'm fancing it myself, actually.



Tosser.

(Think I'm at 260 as of today, added some guilty pleasures.)

How much is the estimated Value?

i wonder if c-dic will send me movies if i say i love him, worth a shot i guess...

hey c-dic, you know i love you right

I honestly don't know. For insurance purposes, I have them claimed as $5,000, that's retail value for them all. Thing is, maybe 1/4th of them were bought new. The rest are used.



I've never known you to be disingenuous, J. We're square.

One copy of "From Justin to Kelly" coming your way!

my dvd collection is probably just under half of corys collection
i'll upload a new pic soon

haha, i was going to say "well somethings better than nothing" but i dont know

see mine

Would be nice in focus.

yeh..but we cant have everythin in life

I want I want!

not much difference..just had a few more dvds

closer view

even closer!

dodgy angle

Here's a cute little evolution...

January 29th, 2005 - 204 DVD's

http://www.corsicas.com/corys/dvd1.jpg

February 20th, 2005 - 247 DVD's

http://www.corsicas.com/corys/dvd2.jpg

March 10th, 2005 - 292 DVD's

http://www.corsicas.com/corys/dvd3.jpg

its building up

Ok here's a pic of my collection taken about six months ago with my old piece of shit digi cam that no longer works....Since this pic was taken I've added a few hundred dvd's to this collection and I'm currently awaiting the arrival of close to 200 more dvd's...

I have right around 1000 dvd's now.

I'll take some new pics of my collection when I get a new digi cam.


http://img154.echo.cx/img154/6061/dvdracksold0sq.jpg

I have 171, but I have no idea how to post a picture. Not a computer whiz. I've got a few that I wouldn't show anyway, I'd be embarassed.

Pro-Pain> It's kinda funny, from the color of your DVDs on the smaller shelf, it looks kinda like mine. And is the bigger shelf a bunch of anime?

I'm not going to waste my time taking a picture..........Imagine a shelf with box sets on them..........and four black CD Project 208 disc capacity cd binders......that is what my dvd collection looks like.

take a pic...njoy yaself

I'm thinking of changing from my x-files video box sets to dvd sets, ah see you have some CSI sets in there, cool series.

I have like 16.

I'm at 2048 right now.

I just tried making a link, but because I'm "not known here", I got a warning saying I could not. copy/paste this into your browser: lindhome.com/pics/lmdb/lmdb1.jpg

Looks like a bunch of cases to me, lol. That, or boots. I always say, quality over quantity, and reality over perception. No way in hell are there 2,000 movies worth owning, much less watching more than once, as if you could in your natural life.

I use slim jewel cases and make my own covers for each movie because standard dvd cases take up way too much space. I don't have that much room! You can see what my cases look like if you want, I took a picture, lindhome.com/pics/lmdb/lmdbcase1.jpg

I can't list my movies in this post because I'll go over my allotted character count, but i can link to a page with a list i'll make: lindhome.com/tmp/movielist.txt

(sorry i cant really link you guys, something with the forum rules and being new)

Are you registered on DVDAficionado.com or Guzzlefish? I'm itching to see what all you have.

No. I have my own movie database that I maintain with the help of one of my best friends. Copy the link i gave you and you can see the list of movies I have.

Dvd cases are only really 2 slim jewel cases big yes? I would prefer to have the original box and covers.

I've gotta agree.
And yeah - CSI is great- not too keen on miami or NY though actually. I have the two season 2 sets aswell, but one of my mates is borrowing it - I like to turn people onto stuff I like

If you're going to go through all the trouble to buy cd slim cases to conserve space................wouldn't it be just as wise to do what I did..........buy a bunch of 200+ capacity cd binders to keep them in? It saves more space and costs less money.

ps. I do keep my original cases/covers........they are in my storage shed in big tupperware boxes.

Bummer, I was hoping you had "This Island Earth", I need a copy, lol.

It would take so much longer to find a movie if they were all kept in binders. When I first transitioned I tried that, and it only lasted a short while. I was up to 5, 200 count binders. I moved to slim jewel cases for efficiency, and so I could make my own covers. I guess I like being different

Maybe you don't understand how my movie indexing works? I have my own mysql/php database that I query to find my movie to get its ID#, and then I find it in seconds on that dvd case. Each shelf holds 80 movies, so if i need movie id# 1804, i just go to where I think that # would fall, and pull out a movie, if I'm wrong, I move backwards or forwards accordingly. I can find a movie in seconds, versus you guys and having to fiddle fuddle around looking at each case that could take, much longer? :P Plus, using a mysql/php database and indexing my movies the way I do, I can run queries for say, all movies made in 1992, or all horror movies, or movies with peter jackson as the director, or movies with only kevin spacey. Can you do that with just a massive wall of movies in abc order? Uh, I'll answer that for you. No, you can't. I love that feature of my database =)

For finding a film I can memorise where a dvd is in my collection, quite simple. Would probably be able to do the same if I had 2000+ dvds also. And mine are not in ABC order

For example, A Tale of Two Sisters is about eight dvds in from the right on my bottom shelf where part of my collection is, and another one called Trauma is about five dvds in from the left on the first dvd shelf.

I won't ever go the way of binders, either. If space is an issue, I'd do like I did for my once massive toy collection, and dedicate a room to them. Binders, whiping them in and out in the long run, is eventually going to scratch the discs.

As for your indexing, to each his own. What you do suggests a real loss of intimacy with your library, and that connectivity is something that's important to me. That's why I don't buy every single movie I have ever seen, just because I moderately liked it. Personally, I don't have to fiddle around, looking for a title. Even at 404, I've got the collection alphabetized, and I can find whatever I want very easily.

I could probably do the same if I had 1,404 or even 2,404. I never find myself saying "Hey, I want a movie that was released in 2002!" if you understand my meaning. So, to answer your question, yes, actually, I probably could do that, because the movies I own, I know inside and out. I don't buy movies for the sake of buying them, or to entertain anyone else.

Let's not let this thing escalate into a DVD snob thread, either. Be civil.

well C-dic.......

CD Project's binders (which I use) do not have plastic backs..........they are soft cotton. It's like your sliding your dvd against a cotton ball.....no way to scratch it.

to each his own though. Me personally, I find it much more time/space efficient.........definetly more efficient than slim cd cases cluttering up my living space. That might be fine for college kids and whatnot but once you're grown, married and have children........most people like to have a decor to their house.........not cd and dvd cases lining the walls.

as for indexing.........I have a movie list on my computer that I print a hard copy of now and then. It is broken down by books (binders), listed in order, each movie numbered within the binder. I guess I've got a good memory but I know which binder any of my movies are in. All I have to do is look at the number next to the movie name on my index list and go straight to it.

If I want to watch Taxi Driver I just go to binder 4 number 3..........or From Dusk 'till Dawn, binder 3 movie 14.

If you have so many dvds - I say dedicate a room to them, sleep in the kitchen if you must. none of this binders or slim line packs. If you've got a good dvd collection - flaunt in - you never know, using the actual cases may be the difference to someday getting laid by a geeky girl.

PS- Cinemaddicton - That sig and avatar set is the best! I'm very jelous.
