Movies with the most multiple purchases in your collection?
I was just looking over my list of movies and noticed that over the years I've bought and re-bought quite a few versions of the same movie on laserdisc and DVD (never really collected VHS). I think the most I've re-bought is five versions of the same title. What's your most excessive re-purchases? I would imagine the hard core Evil Dead collectors can sympathize here!
Heathers
- P&S Image LD
- LBX Lumivision SE LD
- Anchor Bay movie only mono DVD
- Anchor Bay 16x9 DD5.1 SE DVD
- Anchor Bay LE Tin DVD
4 versions of Pulp Fiction, The Professional (Leon), Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Aliens and probably a few more at four as well.

Isn't the TIN version and the other AB version of HEATHERS the same? Why not get all the different covers too????

I have two of a lot, because I've repurchased most of my VHS (and no one will buy the VHS, and I haven't quite come around to giving them away)
Only DVD double dips so far are Dune (TV version), Terminator 2, Almost Famous, and (hopefully today) 400 Blows
I can't think of anything that I've purchased three times.

Off the top of my head I have only three (3) that I have "double dipped":
A Few Good Men: Barebones to SE
Full Metal Jacket: Kubrick Collection to Remasterd Kubrick Collection
Notting Hill: SE to Ultimate Edition
My Best Friends Wedding, I have been debating about "upgrading" to (there is an SE). Emperor's New Groove, I would love to get my hands on the two (2) disc addition. CTHD, I plan on "upgrading" to the SB, but just havent found the time yet.
But the funny thing is that the only "double dip" I spent my own money on was the Remasterd FMJ (the others were through store credit). And those that I have upgraded are on their way to Spun for credit towards other films. Its a revolving door I tell you.

I've purchased Halloween four times so far (five if they do the 25th anniversery addition). Twice the remastered vhs (p&s) first copy was stolen along with the rest of my luggage on a bus trip. Also bought the wide screen vhs and the current one disc theatrical cut dvd.

I've repurchased a ton of the movies I had on VHS, so I won't count those, but I've double-dipped on
Almost Famous and Untitled
Silence of the Lambs: CC and MGM SE
Die Hard 2 barebones and SE
Traffic and Traffic: CC
after I get the SEs, I trade the barebones in, though. It mystifies me that anyone wouldn't dump the barebones if they got a superior edition.

I've got a few double dips...
Almost Famous (original and Untitled)
Pulp Fiction (Canadian and Collector's Edition)
Dogma (original and Collector's Edition)
I hate double dipping and won't repurchase the same movie unless there's a really good reason for doing so...

I think the most I've done is a triple dip:
The Doors: VHS, Single disc DVD, Special Edition 2 Disc DVD
Army Of Darkness: VHS, LE Director's Cut, Boomstick
AOD is more like 2 double dips, as I have 2 copies of the theatrical release and 2 of the Director's Cut.
Star Wars:
'95 THX VHS Box Set (original versions Pan&Scan)
'97 Special Edition VHS Box Set (Pan&Scan)
'01 Special Edition VHS Box Set (Widescreen)
Star Wars will obviously break this record.
I've also done too many double dips to list here. I don't mind double dipping too much, as long as the upgrade is worth it. If it's a movie I enjoy, I have no problems buying it again if there is a compelling reason to.

Only double dips for me, and they were all movies where the original release wasn't anamorphic and/or lacked a 5.1 track, yet I liked the movies so much I still had to buy the crappy original releases.

The Wraith 1986, Raise the Titanic 1980
Vhs, R2 DVD, R4 DVD 93 minute version 2.0 Dolby Surround (Pro-Logic) 1.85:1 OAR, Dolby Surround was the original mix according to IMDb.
"Raise the Titanic", Beta in Pro-Logic, Vhs, R2 DVD (Germany) AKA "Hebt De Titanic" OAR 1.85:1 Monaural, CD sound track. IMDb says recorded in Dolby Surround
Lots of DVD not available in the USA, from R2 and R4 to replace Vhs.
