You own Ghost Rider... Besides that, it's probably the most generic group of movies possible. The only difference between your collection and stuff my unenlightened friends own is that they have crap like ATL or 2 Fast 2 Furious.
As said above, rather than focusing on completing a movie series (MIB2? Why?), get the best of each series. |
Its been a while since i did this, I added a ton, (still have some stinkers) but you guys pointed out some holes that needed filling last time!

The collection itself is fairly standard fare except for your obvious leaning towards wrestling. Mostly mainstream sci fi really with a touch of cannibalism. Many of the films that you own .. well, I also do. Most of them are entertaining, but not necessary deeply laden with messages or thought provocation. But I'll give you props for manning up on Wild Wild West. Most hate it, but I actually found it effective .. extremely stupid fun. It's a lot more entertaining than a large percentage of contemporary Hollywood releases whose sole purpose is entertainment, nothing else. My only advice would be to branch out. There are far too many genres to explore outside of what you own; never-mind classic or contemporary, foreign or Hollywood, niche or mainstream. I wouldn't even want to begin ... And as I said, I watch all genres of movies, something I kind of had to do when I wrote movie reviews, and I have fairly general tastes. A movie like Notes on a Scandal is one that I can watch and appreciate, but would have no interest in watching over and over again. |

I'm sure. But I usually just buy new releases nowadays, so I usually end up spending $25 or so every few weeks. I did get Casino Royale for $9, though. :)

Most of the National Lampoon stuff is the wifes, and I am a sucker for teen sex comedies and horror flicks. I actually own NotC on DVD-r that I copied from a showing on TMC.

You may possibly be the only owner of both The Double Life of Veronique and The Fast and the Furious. Thumbs up on the Kieslowski set - you need to pick up the Three Colors trilogy. You seem to have a few noirs there, so I'd recommend Detour - watch it in my sig.
|
Do you mean me? If so I do infact have The Three Colors trilogy. And The Fast and the Furious is just a guilty pleasure. As a lot of stuff people have are.
|
Rated_R_Outlaw: C-
NoirFan: B+ dex14: B- |

Genre wise however, you & I are rather similar, I'm definitely more into older films than you, I'm not into Disney films or the Pixar thing at all & you are a bit more into blockbusters than me, but overall you have excellent taste. |

I'll be honest, I'm a purist film-fanatic, I love movies, I love having people over & sharing them with friends & the technology of Blu makes that even more fun, having films I love look & sound better than ever. So I am just utterly baffled why someone would not only buy 2 versions of the same movie simply for packaging that just sits & collects dust on a shelf (sweeney todd, iron man etc), and then pay the absurdly high prices of them b/c they are from other regions. And what the film-geek in me finds so disheartening is the small (or rather) large fortune you spend on packaging, rather than investing in Blu-Ray versions of the films that would provide the best audio & visual quality of a film possible, for everyone to enjoy.

As for actual films, there is certainly a lack there. I would give this a C+...there is room to broaden the horizon, but there is still some cool stuff in there. |
