After scanning several of these I think that it might be helpful to have a nutshell summary of the rationale behind the collection. For instance, what I might see as an omission might be a deliberate exclusion; and I like the logic of picking up items which are likely to be less available in the future. Hope that gives an idea of what I mean.

Nice collection zepplin....much more mainstream tastes than me...but I like the fact that there is the odd Icelandic comedy in there to give it some flavour! Jon Gnarr: Nord looks interesting...MRSP of $3299?
Also...nice combination of Queen, The Doors and Megadeth in your musical tastes :0)

benjsimpson, solid collection. we share a good number of the same titles
I like the mix of classics, music, odd-and-ends, with some mainstream movies thrown in for good measure.

asianxcore - An interesting, eclectic mix of some strange and mainstream horror titles. But, whats up with 13 going on 30 and josie and the pussycats and why do you still own the old matrix sequel dvds when you have them on HD-DVD?
Now, someone rate my glorious collection!

BobSolo -
Your collection is massive and quite impressive. I was hard put to find any choices I would disagree with (although I'm not much of a Disney fan - you know, Evil Empire and all); you seem to have excellent taste in the best that Hollywood has to offer. If I could make one change, I'd add some silent titles to your collection to round out it's comprehensive mix. Some Chaplin, or some German horror would fit in quite nicely. A solid "A", overall.

Okay, mike7162, I hope I can review your collection as I consider myself still quite the n00b round these parts...
Strolling through your list online, I couldn't help but notice there is a surprising lack of comedy movies. What you do have is mostly classic stuff, so perhaps you just don't like sillier and more mainstream comedy. I saw a lot of film noir, gothic horror, Western and Drama stuff. I suppose for the sake of balance you could also have more family films, but it seems you have been pretty purposeful in what you have and have certain tastes which you cover quite nicely. Unfortunately I am as I said a n00b so most of it I didn't recognize; I think that in and of itself gives you some points
I'm giving you an B+ for having a large number of films from genres you obviously really enjoy, but I think some comedy would help to balance things a bit, if not some family (but I know from your post above how you feel about Disney, so let's just say comedy
). If anyone disagrees, perhaps they can step in with a more informed opinion (but I wanted to know what others thought of my collection so I thought I'd give this a shot.)
Oh and you're link is busted since Dvdaff changed their schema; had to figure out that it's http://mike7162.dvdaff.com/owned
As for mine, just thought I'd let the next poster down know that about 90 titles are my g/f's but we sort of consider it all "ours", but that explains some of it...

thomkai - Nice collection. I really enjoyed the wide selection of anime and adult swim titles. Plus, I did not know Darkwing Duck was out. I'll have to hunt that down now. The only thing I was curious about was all the Veggie Tales discs. Kids?

Well, Glasschicken, you had me at your first title 
It would seem we have similar tastes, with the exception of the anime/Samarai stuff or Ernest Saves Christmas, which does nothing for me personally.
Things like Dead Like Me, Carnivale and Wonderfalls tell me all I need to know about your appreciation of terrificly weird and underappreciated titles.
Overall I like the cut of your jib, my boy.

12monkey. You have a lot of movies I would, and have, bought myself. Black Snake Moan is on my list for HD. Nice collection.
