Such a thought has never entered my mind, I don't even know precisely how many I have, something like 270 titles, but "Friends" season sets are 4 discs each, "Indiana Jones" is 4 discs, "Sopranos" is 5 discs (isn't it?!), and so on. So, if you happen to buy a multi-disc set for #50 or #100 or whatever, it must drive you crazy, eh?!

When I ran out of room in the house for them :( I can't get more shelves because there's no more room to put the shelves. I have around 700 DVDs. Now I'm VERY careful about what I buy simply because of the room issue.

boston george, may I suggest "The Omen" as your next DVD purchase ?

As for me, I'm closing in on the 500 mark myself (at 470 right now). But since I almost always buy multiple titles at a time, and usually online to boot, it's pretty difficult to identify any individual title as a milestone. Although I do believe a low-budget double feature of Carnival of Souls and Horror Hotel was the first DVD I ever purchased, about three years ago.

The only one that mattered to me was #1. And that was Ronin.

No special purcahases for any milestones. They just happen.

Well, it's hard for me because DVD Af said I hit 400 (I think the Alien Quad's 4 movies put me right at 400 :D) titles a while ago, while Profiler lists 398 entries. I have 3 dvd's in the mail, so if they get here soon then one of them will be 400. If not, it will be Sleeping Beauty: Masterpiece Edition. I guess DVD Af's is the more accurate count with boxsets and such, and if so, the Alien Quad is a damn fine 400th dvd :).

i have around 300, but no, i don't keep any milestones.

Just looking back...
#1 was Swordfish, although I don't have it anymore. The first DVD I actually bought was Joyride, I think.

50 - The Conversation
100 - Goodwill Hunting
150 - Van Wilder Unrated
200 - Spiderman
250 - Animal House

I'll be at 300 in a few days.

The only one I can remember is my first one, which was Scream 2

getting close to 100

I don't remember the first one I bought. There were so many great deals(and freebies) I just started with around 20. :)

The first DVD I bought was either The Vanishing - Criterion or Rush Hour (that Jackie Chan, he's such a nimble little crime fighter, ain't he?). I'll probably pay attention again when I near the 1 million mark -- maybe pick up a Superbit or some such to mark the occasion.

I stopped keeping really good records at about 500. I don't even update Guzzelfish anymore. I guess I have 1000 give or take a few. I do too many resales and exchanges. It takes all my energy just to keep from buying dups.

I'm not sure exactly what my first purchase was as I wasn't keeping track of them, but I know all the other milestones.

50 - The Full Monty
100 - Monty Python: Live!
150 - Good Morning, Vietnam
200 - The Unbearable Lightness of Being: CC
250 - Monster's, Inc.
300 - 24 Hours In London
350 - One Hour Photo
400 - There's Something More About Mary
450 - ER: The Complete First Season
500 - Barton Fink

The first ever dvd we rented was Twister,The first ever movie we bought was Practical Magic....but I didn't like that. I didn't want to go down in the books for that to be my first DVD..So I traded it for Pleasantville. Then about 3 month last year I had to sell some to make some money. But I did make it to #50 but My sister lost some of my dvds when she moved and I sold some more so my collection went down. I haven't sold any in a while and I don't plan to anymore. I just am trying to build back up to it. I am collecting shows now. Right now I am at the #42 mark. I have 8 more to go before I reach it again. I won't sell anymore DVDs and one of my resolutions is to make it to #100 by the end of the year. the #50 and #100th DVD will be something special.

No milestones or special purchases. I just buy movies I like, I'm not a collector per se.

Milestone numbers (all by random chance), according to DVDProfiler:

1. Annie Hall
100. The Bad and the Beautiful
500. Desperately Seeking Susan
1000. You Can't Take It with You
1500. The Honeymooners: Classic 39 Episodes

The only one I remember exactly was my first, Vegas Vacation. I bought it the same day I bought the player at Fry's, back in 2001.

Never kept track. I churn them too fast.

#300-Easy Rider, mind you this number only includes the DVds I have now, not the ones I've gotten rid of
