Which type of DVDs do you wonder why people collect them?

DVD Talk Legend
Well I have a collection of wrestling dvds, some disney flicks, but I have several Sesame street dvds. Mostly the old school dvds, and a few of the SS christmas dvds, for me its just the nostalgia of a more innocent time in my life.

I could never understand the facination with the SAW movies. I can accept that people will buy a copy of each sequel (although i gave up after the second one), but why in the world do people buy every single edition that comes out for each one? Even a new cover will prompt some people to rush out and buy them. I just dont get it.

I usually buy movies and TV series that just aren't available to watch any other way. Criterion has a place in my collection as does TV series from the 60's that I haven't seen for so long I barely remember them, like The Prisoner, Addams Family and alot of Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation series. Have a decent collection of silent movies also. Do I need to own box sets of The Simpsons, South Park or Family Guy? No. They are funny shoes and I like them but they can also be seen at least a dozen times a week on cable and broadcast TV, so best to save my cash for the hard to find stuff and be my own program director once in a while.

I like tv shows because I can sit down and watch a 20-23 episode while I eat. Or just before I go to bed. Sometimes I'll put a show on in the background while I clean or cook, etc. I don't have much time to sit around and watch movies, but my tv shows get a lot of watching.
