I've got an even 30 of them. Only a few more (less than 10) on that list that I'd even wanna own.

52, unless i miscounted and missed some foreign language titles as well.

I've never looked at the list before. I have 155 on either DVD or laserdisc (like King Kong, not yet out on DVD) including a few of last year's movies that I'm getting as soon as they're released (like Sideways).

I don't have any in the bottom 100. Really.

50. More if you were to count VHS.

Too bad this list is just a popularity contest. Too many truly great movies are missing.

There must have been some movement in the botto 100 in the past few months. I own 0 of them now.

I own 36% (90 movies) of the top 250

None of the bottom 100

53! Yea!

111 and counting.

This list must change quite a bit or something, because based on the list I'm seeing, I find it extremely hard to believe the people who say they own none of the bottom hundred. Not saying you're lying or anything , just hard to believe.

we have a winner?

I own the following movies & I'm counting dvd & vhs because I can't afford to replace all of my vhs. I wouldn't want to own a lot of those movies because they seem to be mostly dramas & I can watch a drama once or twice & admit that it's good. However I wouldn't want to rewatch them all of the time.

Star Wars (1977)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
The Matrix (1999)
Fight Club (1999)
Vertigo (1958)
Se7en (1995)
Some Like It Hot (1959)
L.A. Confidential (1997)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Fargo (1996)
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
The Princess Bride (1987)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
Gladiator (2000)
The Terminator (1984)
Twelve Monkeys (1995)
Trainspotting (1996)
Forrest Gump (1994)
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
The Insider (1999) (I really only own this because at the time I was obsessed with Russell Crowe & had to have all of his movies.)

I will be buying the following at some time in the future:
Back to the Future (1985)
Lost in Translation (2003)
American Beauty (1999)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Garden State (2004)
The Last Picture Show (1971)
Groundhog Day (1993)

I used to own these but I had seen them enough & didn't think I'd end up watching them again so I sold them:
The Exorcist (1973)
Magnolia (1999)

I absolutely hated these movies:
Before Sunset
21 Grams (2003)
Yes I watched all of both of them. Before Sunset was so disappointing to me. I loved Before Sunrise, but I never thought that many people even liked it until I heard about everyone buying the 2 pack with both films when it was released.

I plan on renting the following:
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Manhattan (1979)
Sideways (2004)

I own from the bottom 100:
Crossroads (2002)
Soul Plane (2004)

I do like the following from the bottom 100 but I don't own them:
Glitter
Rollerball (2002)
Torque (2004)

76 at least on the top, not including 3 or 4 not released yet that I plan on getting.

2 on the bottom. They shouldn't count. Rollerball (2002) - got that free. & Superman IV-Quest for Peace, that was part of the boxed set.

Yep, he's got me beat: 113, here.

Of the bottom 100, I own 3, and all came in boxed sets:

Smokey and the Bandit 3
Robocop 3
Superman IV

This is from a collection of under 500 titles (to put it into perspective, the guy with 183 has just over 1,000 titles). Not too shabby. I think the list is a good guide for anybody starting off a collection that they would like to see variation (but quality) in.

-JP

10 from the top, 0 from the bottom.

Rob

147 at this very moment. About 30 on the list I'll have at some point.

47 on the top 250, and one from bottom 100 (RoboCop 3)

43 (including yet to be released, but certainly will be purchased, Incredibles & Sideways).

59 + The Icredibles = 60 next week.

119, not counting double dips.

6 or so on the bottom.

Edit: I have since acquired The Incredibles and have 2 more titles pending: Apocalypse Now & Sunset Boulevard

I have 132 (131 with 1 more pending: Raging Bull; there are still a bunch more that I want to get or that haven't been released yet like Million Dollar Baby.

I have 5 of the Bottom 100 (You Got Served, Police Academy 5, 6, & 7, and Robocop 3) (The Police Academy movies are part of the box set and Robocop is part of the Trilogy)

If I count "The Incredibles" and "Laura", which I'll be buying on Tuesday, I have 135 from the top 250.

All "best of" lists are different and slanted one way or another. My DVD buys tend to include more movies from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s than the average DVD buyer. I think that's why I have 135 from my 399 DVD collection on the IMDB list.

wow, i have 125 of them.

I own an even 50, or 20% of the list. The 50 comes out to about 17% of my collection. There's still a few off the list I want to get, and others I'll never get.

38 but i own 55 total if you count family
