Squirrel God

I was looking at some of the stats in my DVDProfiler and I came across a rather startling discovery.

As far as I'm concerned at least, 2001 was a phenomenal year for films and my favourite year of all by quite a considerable margin.



Sure, the graph includes a minor number of TV DVDs as well, but I still can't believe how many DVDs I own from just that single year

Looking at my Top 20 favourite films, I can see that 5 of them are also from 2001 (Donnie Darko, Vanilla Sky, Thirteen Conversations About One Thing, Mulholland Drive, Avalon).

Those of you who also use DVDProfiler (or other DVD collection software), what is the most popular year in your collection? (In DVD Profiler, you can see this by choosing Tools > Charts & Graphs and then Statistics > General > Production Years)

Those of you who don't use DVD collection software, which is your favourite year for movies and why?

Are we really running that low on new topic ideas?

The Cow

I think you might wanna post you age also, to make this somewhat relevant.

Squirrel God

I'm 32, but confused as to why that's relevant?

The Cow

Pretty sure you would see the curve move up and down with the age group. It's a typical up and down curve. We'll see.

Side note, I can't seem to get DVDProfiler to show that graph beyond 1978 for some reason. Hmm....

Squirrel God

OK, yeah, possibly. It's easier to identify with eras you were a part of.

Screen res. issue? DVDProfiler's not too good at rendering those graphs.

Cygnet74

15 titles from 1999 makes it the most popular year, but i average 7 or 8 discs for every year since 1959.

mookiemeister

My top production year is 2001 also with 93 titles.

The Cow

Tried my max screen res (1920 x 1200) with no difference. I'm guessing it's the number of DVDs that it can't handle (I have a little over 1800). Here is the graph it shows and it is not even close to being accurate. Weird.

2003: 2

2004: 13

2005: 4

I just need 10 more titles and my collection would be complete!

Dabaomb

I'm 25 and I think that you can tell from my collection.

2002: 113
2003: 83
2001: 72
2004: 58
2000: 56

Bacon

here's a nice idea don't click the link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


is there a way to search by year via my DVdAF collection list?

FilmFanSea

These kinds of topics feed my OCD, but I think it's interesting to see how people distribute their collections. I deducted TV titles & compilations, & came up with this:

1. 1974 (19 titles)
2. 2002 (18)
2. 1988
4. 2000 (17)
4. 1999
4. 1998
7. 1959 (16)
8. 1964 (15)
8. 1962
8. 1960
8. 1955
12. 1948 (14)

And I'm 43.

Sooperior

I'm 20, my most pop. production year is tied: 1997 and 2001 each with 10 titles. Followed by 1999 and 2000 with 9 titles each.

Mondo Kane

22 from '01! Didn't expect that!

THORN

for me 2003 is highest production year ...w/ 53 titles

but what i think is more telling is ur genres

217 - action
133 - drama
132 - sci-fi
120 - adventure
108 - suspence/ thriller
104 - comedy

or

retail vs actual $ spent

retail $15,605.42 vs actual $7524.59

i am 30 yrs old and i am a dvdaholic .... its been 5 min scince i last purchased a dvd

fliggil

Most is 2002, and the years surrounding it are all about half of it, my older most popular years are 1941, 1958, 1962 and 1975

talemyn

Out of 456 total DVD's (according to DVDProfiler), my top years are:

DVD's   Years
  35       2001
  30       2000, 2003
  26       2002
  23       1998, 1999
  20       1995, 1997

The graph is a slow but steadily growing slope starting back in 1925.

Mike Lowrey

I don't have my collection in Profiler, so I'll need to count them in Aficionado...but I don't have time right now...about to leave for church.

Question though...how are you all counting TV show sets? Because a good 45% or so of my collection is TV shows.

natevines

1939.
So many classics, just off the top of my head now: Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Wuthering Heights, Gunga Din, The Roaring Twenties, Stagecoach, Rules of the Game, &c. I know there are at least a few more too.

paul.n3w

Looks like 2003, for me. I need to buy a lot more 'classic' movies
