Matrix
Snatch
Bear in the Big Blue House

About 200

Out in the Oulou where internet speeds are just something to be envied of others, downloading is not really a great option.

Oh and I'm a sucker for box sets
West Wing
Sopranos
Breaking Bad

About a hundred. I usually just get my favourite movies.

5. All of them are still in their plastic wrappers which I received as presents at birthdays and Christmas.
I stream or download everything so never felt the need to use them.

zero, zilch, nada, 0

Calibos · 08-05-2014 07:28PM

700 DVD's and about 50 Bluray.

We've about 1200 movies and 4000 Tv Show episodes on our home server.

The approx. €15,000 we paid for the former means I feel zero guilt about the latter.

JumpShivers · 08-05-2014 07:28PM

I'd say a few hundred.

Thanks for that!!

No idea, around 30 probably?

Most of my movies/tv shows are digital only, 100's of movies on one small portable HD is pretty sweet.

Sulla Felix · 08-05-2014 10:47PM

Hundreds. Inherited my brothers collection and between us we had about 800 in 2005, must be nearly 1000 by now. They're all in boxes in the spare room since I moved two years ago and because the cd drive on my pc, through which I route a signal to my tv, is broken, I haven't watched one in nearly as long.
Thank god for primewire.

So you get the reels from the production crew, or the cinema?

:pac:

Yeah I still buy DVDs. I've loads.

many cinemas have gone digital now and don't use film reels, they receive the film in a hard drive, some even use satellite

orangesoda · 09-05-2014 02:11AM

I have stopped purchasing box sets as it gets irritating, if you purchase a full series an updates version will be released within a year containing extra material

Kaycee2 · 09-05-2014 10:37AM

A few box sets-sopranos, inbetweeners, Phoenix nights, all ones that I know I'll watch again, any films I've had I've given away, some stray Simpsons ones that are keepers and dozens of peppa pigs

AdolfHipster · 09-05-2014 11:58AM

Yep, still own around 30 dvds. Most of which are films that I really like. Small enough collection. Wouldnt be in a rush to go out and buy "Freddie got Fingered" on DVD

Zero. In fact, I got rid of a whole load yesterday. I went on a mad de-clutter spree. It was cathartic.

At one stage I had over 1000 dvds, now have less than 10, just box sets I cant get again or want to hold onto. It really is cathartic decluttering your life. What used to take up shelves of space now sits on a hard drive the size of a book.

murpho999 · 09-05-2014 12:14PM

No DVDs , all digital.

Don't understand why people think that DVDs or CDs are the real thing when they are just the same file as I have but on a disc.

The idea of having discs you can lose or scratch or going to places like Xtra-vision and inserting discs into a machine is totally archaic to me.

Also means that I have skipped the need for a Bluray player

SEANoftheDEAD · 09-05-2014 01:02PM

Have about 500 dvds.

Stop buying about 4 years ago and went digital.
Got pi$$ed off with Netflix and there ever changing catalog so cancelled it.

I have recently started buying again, as I actually prefer to own the films I like.

Plus the man-cave looks better with a dvd/cd collection on display instead of a external hard rive beside the tele.

None. I don't like clutter, so gave them all to charity a few years ago.

dixiedan · 09-05-2014 02:10PM

A box set of 8 DVDs on World war 2 bought about 10 year ago

Thr DaVinci Code bought about 5 years ago

Still have to get round to looking at them

ScumLord · 09-05-2014 02:46PM

Are DVDs still on sale? I thought they'd been replaced by now, the internet is pretty much HD now.

I bought one or two Blu rays when I got the player but it's still easier to stream them in HD off an illegal site than it is to get up, find the film, open the box, take the disk out, put it in the player, sit through all the shyte at the beginning.

The only good thing about disks is they tend to have better sound.

Dirty Dingus McGee · 10-05-2014 09:55AM

I own 887 films and around 218 seasons of TV, all on DVD.

10-05-2014 09:56AM

None

Mac B · 10-05-2014 10:00AM

About 50, but haven't bought in about 3 years, no need To buy disk anymore

murphyebass · 10-05-2014 10:01AM

About a hundred I'd say. Anyone wanna buy them? Lol .. Just clutter at this stage.

Mac B · 10-05-2014 10:02AM
