How long does it take you to pick a Blu-ray to watch?

[ArmyOfDarknessAW]

I find myself sometimes just staring at all the movies for upwards of half an hour just trying to pick a movie i am in the mood for. Does anyone else have the problem?

You'll tend to do that when you have 300+ movies

my dvd shelf is pretty barren, but i often use a random number generator to select which movies to move to the top of my netflix queue... otherwise i'll never get to most of that stuff.

I watch one almost everyday after work while my condo building is empty & by the time I get home I have already decided what I will watch

I don't think I have ever come close to 5 minutes, let alone a half hour. It takes a bit to decide, even longer if the wife is present.

I take a while too..

and then the line from Leonard Part 6 (yeah yeah, bad movie) comes in my head when Bill Cosby goes into his huge walk-in closet with tons of clothes and he says "but I have nothing to WEAR!"

And then I say "but I have nothing to WATCH!"

(I have 500+)

Its not something i am proud of i wish i could pick one in 5 minutes or less, but i never know fully what i am in the mood for. In many occasions i have put a movie in got 10 minutes in and popped it out because it turns out i am not in the mood for that genre. I should just close my eyes and pick from now on.

I hate when this happens. I take

. I get mad and close my eyes and try and pick. I grab a movie and I know what it is before I open my eyes.

YES! the exact same problem

[YodasFootPowder]

I do the same thing. I only have about 100 Blu-rays and I sit and stare a long time. Sometimes I give up and end up playing a video game. LOL!

[crazyBLUE]

I can see this Thread is going to take off

Sometimes at the end of my work day I will ask some of the guys what I should watch & watch one of there suggestions

[DeadDog]

Same here. I'll take forever to decide, but once I just put one in I'm always glad with my decision.

Although for me it usually comes down to the length of the movie and how long I want to stay awake for. I say I only have time for a 90 minute but then spend 30 min picking. In the end I could have just watched any 2hr + movie and spent the same amount of time awake


(and to think I really thought I was the only one who did this, now I feel better )

[arykmax]

I usually stare for quite awhile but I have been rewatching Lost lately.

[Iron-Blu-123]

About 5 min. or less for me.

[Fighter]

2 sec. or less

Yeah when i am in the middle of a TV show i will stay with that till the end of the season or series. Problem is i am not in the middle of any shows right now.

[Disturbed Blu 1]

It takes a little time for me. Longer if my girlfriend is around. But not too long.

[SideEffect34]

Every now and then, but not always.

[ManUtd]

Sometimes it's very quick, sometimes it takes me several minutes to decide and there are times when after staring at my blu-ray rack for a while I give up and pick one of my SACDs or DVD-As.

[surfdude12]

tonight: 30 minutes. what did i pick? nothing

i use this method:

(1) pick out 4-5
(2) pick one out of the 4-5

i think i may just watch my collection alphabetically, on a cyclical basis
