Great list. I'm guilty of more than a few. Here are some others that apply to me--and hopefully some of you so I don't feel so pathetic. :)

• You spend an ungodly amount of time reorganizing your collection to alphabetize it and a month later you've received enough DVDs that you need to do it again.
• You and your significant other keep your DVDs separate because you don't want "chick flick" titles like Dirty Dancing in your collection and she doesn't want gore titles like The Dead Next Door in hers.
• You and your significant other argue over who will be the one to buy a new release so it can be in their collection.

Oh god, I do this all the time. "Well, April 20th is a Tuesday, so the 21st must be Wednesday."

"How the hell do you know that April 20th is a Tuesday?"

"Um, because the 'Master and Commander' special edition comes out that day."

Hey, Dana, do you mind if I adopt this list for Cinema-Review.com? I'll give you credit, of course.

Glad everyone enjoyed this thread. I edited my post to include everyone's additions. Thanks.

That was a great post, A lot of those things are very true for a lot of people. Its scary soon there going to need D.A.A. DVD ADDICTIONS ANONMOUS (or however you spell it)

I can't disagree with that, I like the cases too, but I just can't bring myself to buy these sets... too much cash for what you get, but that's another thread entirely...

...you check the master list to see your contribution added for posterity's sake, and realize the credit was given to someone else...

:p

Sigh, I guess mine wasn't good enough for the list :(

;)

Nor was mine.

How bout when you spend too much on building up your Criterions and forget that Valentine's Day is soon and you're broke! Damn the OOP CCs!!

You remodel your home to accomodate more shelf space, knowing that those shelves too will soon be full. That would be moi.

rotfl

been there...done that.

this is actually the most true for me freudguy...

you might just have a DVD problem if you have an anxiety attack when your wife goes for the mail.

I've edited the list again. Thanks for the contributions. Sorry I missed freudguy and RyoHazuki, and gave the wrong credit for a contribution from divemaster.

BTW, this thread appeared on DVDTalk a couple of years ago. I had saved the complete list back then and recently decided to resurrect it to see what kind of response there would be. So far it's been great.

Have fun.

You're all famous:

You anxiously look for titles you 'need' in December so you can surpass the number of DVDs you bought LAST year.

You tell your friends no, you are NOT a free rental store.

You refer to your collection as 'The Precious'.

This list is so TRUE!!
