Why do you collect DVD's?
 

Just a simple question because I am curious to know why?

I am not quite sure myself.

Pretty simple for me. So I can watch whatever I want, whenever I want. No downloading, no waiting for discs in the mail or driving to the store.

Because I have a mental defect! Most likely some kind of compulsive disorder...but I guess there are worse things to be addicted to!

Because if I don't then the money in my wallet will burn a hole right through my pants. I'd rather spend the money on dvds than on a new pair of pants.

For example the other night I saw the trailer for Jodi Fosters new movie, and it reminded me of Death Wish. I then wanted to watch Death Wish. Reached up on the shelf, and that was it.

Basically so I can watch whatever I feel like watching whenever the urge hits.

I don't know. After I bought that very first DVD, it was like I couldn't wait to buy another one and I have had a DVD buying addiction ever since.

I just love collecting them. Everybody needs a hobby and collecting DVD's is my hobby.

Because it's my only hobby. Besides drinking of course.

I "collect" what I like to watch repeatedly.

Based on what I see here I don't have much of a collection.

It gets me laid out.

It gets me laid.

Not really collecting for me, I just love alot of movies and I want to own them. I may not get to watching some of them for several weeks/months, but at least I know they're there when I'm ready to watch.

Because I love TV shows & Movies and besides Coffee its my only addiction.
I can watch what I want when ever the hell I damn well please & I love going to the stores to pick up new DVDs every tuesday.

So my friends can ask if they can borrow them. Why else?

Ditto. I buy movies I like enough to own as I'll rewatch them over the years.

So I guess one could say I collect movies I like, but I wouldn't say that I collect DVDs. Probably why I'm still somewhere around 250 DVDs when I've been buying them since 1998.

collecting body parts was getting messy

because my life has to revolve around street dates and 'new release' Tuesday... (this also applies to my ever expanding CD collection - which threatens to overtake the entire house).

Movies are an obsession and DVD's satisfy the urge. And they're friggin awesome. Nuff said.

I'm a completist and I like owning all the films from my favorite directors.

that too... :D

:lol:

Because I had too much empty space in my house... :D

I love movies, they are my escape. Some people collect porn, action figures, pubes, cars, video games....I collect films that I love.

I guess it's a better vice than drugs.

I have a collector's mentality, and I love films, so it's a natural thing for me. Also, I'm very happy with the DVD format (I never liked VHS, and I only had a few) so I was hooked ever since I bought my first one.

When I watch a movie, I am totally zoned out. I seriously don't even remember that i'm sitting on a couch in my living room watching a DVD. That's how much I am zoned out. It's like I get absorbed in the movie itself for that 2 hours. Unless it sucks. I collect because it's like being there experiencing what is going on in that movie. If I watch evil dead I am in that house where the dead are attackign a man with a chainsaw. If I am watching Jurassic Park I am on that island with dinosaurs mauling people.

It's not just an addiction and an urge. That's only 50% why I collect dvd's. The other 50% is because it's like an escape and a natural high being there for 2 hours as the movie plays out.

Anyone else like this?

Because it's better than VHS which is good enough for me. :)
