she should be....she's the one that passes out afterwards which leads me to a cool down with the nuns.:p

I know the feeling at last count over a month ago had over 50 of about 300 or about 17% that was unwatched not even counting those pesky tv dvd. I was able to catch up alot on the tv boxsets over the summer when nothing was on tv. But i watch a fair amount of tv. I have considered just giving up current shows that put out dvds epspiecally so soon after wrapping the season such as Alias and Smallville but hasn't happened yet. I do love looking at the collection and knowing I don't have to deal with blockbuster. I love collecting and it started when I was 8 and got some baseball cards.

I usually watch at least one DVD per day during the week, and four over the weekend because I work second shift, and only have limited time. And I also have a gigantic collection ( over one thousand titles) and I know exactly what your going through. Do the best you can with your viewing.
When DVDs were first introduce in the year of 1997, I use to buy every new release weekly, but after I begin to realize that I have purchased a lot of awful movies, then I begin to be more selective on my DVD buying. And also, It's can be an expensive addiction.

IMO, it is normal and healthy to have a certain percentage of unviewed discs in a collection. One of the benefits of having a collection is being able to watch something you haven't seen yet WHEN you want to! If you have watched your entire collection and are in the mood to watch a movie, then you will have no choice to but to watch a disc you've already seen (since you wouldn't have any unwatched discs) or you'll have to shlep out to Blockbuster (which defeats one of the reasons for having a collection in the first place).

ams. For some reason, I seem to be dealing with that. Before Christmas I needed to watch the Bond Collection, Blazing Saddles, Knight Rider, Godfather Collection, Martin Scorsese Collection, and Return of the King.

Now I need to to fit in Wild at Heart, Ed Wood, Species, Shrek 2, Mask, I, Robot, Hellboy, Elf, Collateral, Bourne Supremecy, Anchorman, and Spidy 2.

nothing like being addicted to something ;)

Same boat here. I keep promising I'll catch up on some unwatched DVDs before buying more but I'm like an alchoholic with an open beer, maybe just one sip. Before I know it I've picked up 5 or 6 more. Most of what I buy is used so the price reels me in and the rationale that it may be gone next time I'm there seals the deal.

Picking up a portable DVD player has helped a little. Now when I go on business trips I'll take along a couple movies. Not the same as Home Theater but I at least feel as though I didn't fall further behind.

HELLO, my name is aspikes and I am a DVDcollectoraholic. I am working step one right now. I have 70 unwatched movies and half a tv series (Star Blazers series one and yes I am loving ever second of it. It has been 24ish years since I have seen it).

Shoot, I have unopened copies of this movie or that movie but as I know I love the movie I have no guilt over them sitting on my shelves.....what's the big deal? :)

just like Y2K be prepared

Well, I buy almost all the titles that I am interested in during the first week of release because it saves me money. Because of this I have close to 30 dvds I need to watch including 12 boxsets.

Why ask why??

Why ask why he's asking why?

Regarding your signature:

CO-champions. Michigan beat them and are the ones who went on to the Rose Bowl (even though they blew it today!) :grunt:

I think this costs you more money, sure you may save a few bucks off the inital release MSRP, but most dvd's drop in price or there is some good deal in the bargains forum for really cheap. I buy all my dvd's from deals. Regular dvd's must be less than $10 (usually $7 or less with deals like Columbia House), I might spend $15 or so on a really special edition, and $20 on sets like tv series.

I have a lot of unwatched, I am a collector, not for money, I just enjoy having all the movies or TV series I enjoy. I have a few blind buys, most recently both Curb your Enthusiasm seasons for ~$28 from Barnes&Noble.com I think, and a few sub $5 dvd's recently. I also have purchased some of my favorite tv series but still haven't watched all the episodes. I like buying and getting deals almost as much as watching the dvds.
