Take an average of a 2 hour movie; that's 12 movies you could watch in a day. 31 days in a month, so that's only 372 movies you could watch, and that's if you didn't sleep at all.

A month? Even if you stayed awake for the entire month, that wouldn't be enough time.
30 days x 24 hours = 720 hours.
That's less than two hours per DVD ... not enough time to watch the movies and all the extras .... probably not enough time to even watch the movies without any extras.

talk about priorities (SP?) with DVD rentals from both Netflix, Nicheflix, and going to the movies, I've gone slightly mental in trying to catch up the movies I want to see.

Seriously though. Pick 250 so you have some time to shower and have bathroom breaks,

Assuming an average of 95 minutes a pop, with 948 discs, that'd be 90,060 minutes, or 1,501 hours, or 62 days.

Be a bum and watch as many as you can! Put the pizza delivery on speed-dial, buy a keg and watch movies until the cows come home! I wish I could

you mean people actually watch their DVDs? I thought they just bought them to have.
seriously though, I have been thinking about watching atleast 1 DVD every day. and if I have time maybe 2. right now it's more of a weekend marathon kind of thing.

And as for showers, well it's not like you're going to be leaving your house any time soon, so no one else has to smell you.

tried it.......without the sleep and rest
heres what happens
0-48 hours: everything is pretty normal. especially once you make it past the 26 hour point. you wont be tired anymore.
48-72 hours: you may find yourself having to repeat a couple of scenes. no big deal. just a bit of a wandering attention span.
72-96 hours: am i still watching movies? which one is on now? which one did i watch last? and why is there a purple frog hopping across the coffee table? theres no frog you say? oh yeah i think i was watching a movie....
96+ hours: have to ask someone else. thats as far as i made it
being bored and always wondering how long i could stay awake coupled with my dvd habit caused this bit of madness. i got up during the credits for a drink, bathroom, and had a plate of sandwiches made in the fridge. other than i didnt leave the couch. i had the phone off as well so that i would be uninterrupted. if you decide to try this, let me know!! we can trade experiences.

Man, I don't know if your attention span is less than mine, but I can watch my entire 500+ DVD collection in about half a second. I guess maybe an hour or so if I stop to read all of the spine titles.
