I own 40 of the 50 from the guy's list. Of the 10 I'm missing I plan on picking up at least 3 of them.

On the woman's list, I have 33 of them and plan on eventually getting 5 more or so.

I'm apparently depressingly mainstream.

From the guy's list I had 38

From the girl's list I have 39

On the other hand, I only have 26 from the "ladies' list", but there's a few there that aren't listed in the "guy's list". Singin' In The Rain, The Sixth Sense, American History X... And I have The Philadelphia Story SE on pre-order.

That's all I have. I am teh suck in DVD collecting :(

hmmm....guy's list, 11.. plus 2 or 3 i've had then sold...
gal's list, 13....

Don't feel too bad. I'm a male with 35 off the male list and 37 off the female list! -confused-

One more person thrilled to see Amélie on the list! :)

I guess I need to go shopping. Out of around 450 DVDs in my collection I only have four from the male list and five from the female list. I'm a little surprised not to see Airplane, The Fugitive, Braveheart, Titanic, T2, Unforgiven, Field Of Dreams, Dances With Wolves, Forrest Gump or pretty much any from my collection there.

Simpsons

OK, I feel better now. I was concerned that I owned only bad films. :D
Fortunately, I don't have any from IMDB's Bottom 100 list.

Guy's List: 34 / 50
Gal's List: 34 / 50
Top 250: 112 / 250
Bottom 100: 3 / 100 (Robocop 3, Smokey and the Bandit 3, Superman IV...all came in the boxed sets)

And of the 6 films (2004 titles only, that is) on the Top 250 that haven't been released to DVD yet, I've seen 3 in theaters.

Oh, and my specs: I'm a fella with ~475 titles in my collection.

-JP

Don't even. See the first few posts of the topic? "OMG, like EVERYONE has Fight Club and LOTR and The Matrix and Pulp Fiction and blah, blah, blah..."

See, none of those films mean anything to me. I don't want people to assume that they are essential films that MUST be in every collection, because they're not in mine, nor will they ever be. We are each allowed to respond to someone's nomination for an "everyone has it" title, you know.

I don't think this topic has a point, really. Right up there with "rate my collection" and "what did you buy last week tuesday"...

43 of top 250
6 of bottom 100:
Jaws: The Revenge
Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Robocop 3
Jaws 3D
The Mangler
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Male Top 50: 47
Female Top 50: 41
Top 250: 182
Bottom 100: 21

my male and female top 50 are the same at 22.

Well is you think this thread has no point what the hell are you doing posting in it? ;)

And, no one cares that YOU don't have Matrix or Pulp Fiction. This isnt the "My Taste is Better Than Everyone Else's" Thread. Most people have those movies, which means they belong here. Your self-obsorbed, unwanted criticism doesn't.

28 for me. Have owned a few of the others in the list at one time or another, but sold them as I didn't like the films.

Sorry if this one has been mentioned already but I didn't see it when I was skimming through the pages. I see 12 Monkeys in a lot of people's collections.

Collection size: approx 450
Top Male List: 3
Top Female List: 3
Bottom 100 List: 0
Guess I'm more eclectic than I thought!

Cross me off the list for Star Wars - I'll keep my original, unadulterated Laserdisc versions.

I have about 100 Dvd's. 2 off the 'male list', 3 off the 'female' list. And I'm male.

If you count VHS (600 tapes), there are 2 more I have off each list.

Schindler's List is on both lists though, so that is counted twice.

Guess I'm not 'normal' then... big surprise...

I don't care one bit about the LOTR. Or Indy. Or Star Wars. Or a lot of other stuff.

Top 250. 4 on Vhs, 4 on DVD. Bottom 100. Zero on DVD, 2 on VHS. And 3 of the soundtracks to those films.

Out of the Top 250 I own 65:

1. 9.0 The Godfather (1972) 116,849
3. 8.9 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 96,505
