i'm talking the older releases, not new and upcoming which of course we all obsess over and need as well.

whenever I think i have all the dvd's i could possibly ever need and want, there is some title that gets in my head that i just have to have now. you know i still scan the aisles at BB, look down Target's limited aisles, never see anything, then a day or two later, i get this urge or feeling that i have to see and have something that i never thought twice about a year ago, especially if it is at a reasonable price. it is such a weird and sometimes unsettling feeling.

couple weeks ago, i saw "Fargo/Rain Man" (Double Feature) @ Target, saw it, saw it had the SE features, but really didn't want to get it. i am not all that enamorate of the movie, "Fargo". so, i never really wanted them before. saw them on tv a few times and it was meh.

then, i was like i really want to see "Fargo" again. what with "No Country for Old Men" out Tuesday and figured i would give it another chance. then i rationalized i would like to see "Rain Man" sometime soon. and mind you this all happens in my head in mere minutes as opposed to this convuluted story.

so i got it the very next day i think about it. and this happens all the time with other older titles that i don't think twice about, then all of a sudden...

this happen to anyone else?

It used to happen to me a lot. But I don't pay attention to sales anymore. I only pay attention to re-issued catalog titles and new releases. I pretty much have everything I want.

happens a lot less now because it has already happened so many times before...

that's good at least...

on the other hand i just bought my 3rd Criterion release of 'Seven Samurai'... so it still happens a bit...

Welcome to hyper-consumerism. "Enough" is always at least one purchase away.

so that's the name for what i do?...

cool...

I pretty much have everything I wanted to collect on DVD, but i'm ALWAYS finding hidden gems that I am discovering.

What person honestly believes they own all the movies they'll ever want (not counting new movies)?

Not until "The Stepfather" is released... if ever!

this op sounds familiar in a out-of-context, deja-vu sorta way.

hyper-cool

oh yeah, whoever recommended that book, "the paradox of choice", tttytytyytyytyytytytytytyt! its a fantastic read

Man, I wish they'd release this series.

I'm contemplating the 3-disc "Titanic" SE. I heard the 2-disc is no better of a transfer and is one disc less of extras.

I already own the 1-disc, and wonder if it's good enough quality to suit my rare viewing.
But don't watch that movie much. I do enjoy having the entire movie on one disc.

You stopped me at the "Ever think you have it all" part of the question. My want list is a mile long. And just as I think I've made some decent headway, a large number of more films get added.

It's a sickness; for that I am certain.

Same here. I've never thought I have it all and I doubt that I ever will.

The only thing I've noticed lately is browsing the DVDs and not finding anything that catches my attention. The problem is I'm in that strange in-between period where I no longer want to buy on DVD, but can't find anything interesting on HD. There's interesting stuff out there of course, but when I shop locally, I can't seem to find anything. But that doesn't mean I have it all, just that the place I'm shopping has poor selection.
