Some of you guys go back way back (8MM T2???) Cool. Happy collecting!

My James Bond collection gets that honor. I bought some of the first set (TSWLM, GF, DR. NO) than the Special Edition and two years ago the Ultimate Collection.

crabbit

I bought a 2nd copy of Annie Hall when I lent my first one out and it was lost. A 4-pack of films had "Men of Honor," which I already had in my collection. Other than that, I've never bought two versions of the same movie.

I'm going to keep this with DVDs, so the original Star Wars trilogy wins with three: bootleg versions of the first "special" editions (Han shoots second), the legit DVD box set (Han shoots at the same time), and the versions with the original films (Han shoots first).

xflexxy

I was given the fullscreen versions, so I guess I didn't completely double dip on them in the sense that I didn't buy the first copy. I would never willingly buy the fullscreen version of something meant for widescreen.

kstublen

Same here. Except for The Simpsons Movie. I own it in Widescreen and will eventually buy the Fullscreen copy just because I am a Simpsons Fan and want all of their DVD releases (this includes future double-dipping on the Seasons in standard cases, not the Limited Edition Heads).

I don't think I've upgraded any title more than once. When the day comes that I do though, I'll take that as a sign to stop buying and just rent.

zekeburger1979

I just ordered a copy of The Shawshank Redemption 2-disc from Best Buy and that makes it a triple dip on DVD, thanks to owning the 1-disc and now a 2nd copy of the 2-disc. Add the VHS and it makes it a quadruple dip.

You're missing a region 4 Texas Chain Saw Massacre that got released recently; essentially the same as the steelbook region 1.

Giggles

Yeah, I know I'll get it eventually. There's also a Swedish steelbook similar to this one that was released recently.

JordanGLC

I have four copies of Godzilla King of the Monsters and up to three copies of other Godzilla titles.

Wow. How do you store all those xage?
