Never counted them all..  but if I counted movies alone, on VHS, DVD and CD...  it would amount to over a thousand titles.

DVDs: 133
VHS tapes: 60
Movies taped from TV: 281
Archived movie files (.AVI) downloaded or ripped: 152

Total movies: 626

Give or take a few in each categories, probably.

I'd say roughly one-third of these movies feature boy actors, maybe more.

I have about one thousand original DVDs and amongst them around 400 DVDs in relation with this site but I sometimes think it is a real folly  Roll Eyes

I figure I payed an average of 12 dollars a movie, which is an under estimate, but that means I've spent over 3,000 bucks Shocked, and that's not including the money I spend going to the movie theater every year Tongue

That's insane!!

I have no idea, but it has to number over a thousand VHS and DVD combined.  They were taking over my home so I had to move many of the video tapes outside to a storage house.  Frankly, I don't have the energy to count all of them.

Collecting dvds is somekind of a curse: you are soon gathering dvds for themselves, as on object, and not for the movie. Owning more and more dvds becomes a goal in itself. I am afraid that I have dvds for more than a year and they are still enclosed in their plastic wrap...

Definitely not me Rocketboy.

I can't have more than a few hundred titles tops. I spend too much time and energy seeking out new films to watch to justify keeping copies of ones I've already seen.

I know I have the same situation, but I don't think it's for the reason you say.  Some movies are so meaningful and such an important experience, I want to own them so they are part of me.  I love the fact that I can watch them anytime, but it's not essential that I watch them right away (or even, apparently, within a year!).  I might watch a rented movie much faster, but the movie I bought still means a lot more to me, even in its shrink wrap.
