Have you ever trashed one of your movies?

[McKellars]

I'm just curious to see if anyone has ever thrown out any of their movies whether the format is VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray (yeah right) or even Beta. I never have, but then again I've never really been a big collector of any format.

[Sussudio]

why would you ever throw out a movie

if there are ones i no longer want i either give them away or sell them

(or in the case of my beloved VHS put them in storage where they will probably decay at some point )

[Marquoz]

Yes, I've thrown out a few movies. I've lost a couple because of heavy use and they get scratched up from constantly being used and mishandled.

i give mine away to friends and family.

i found a VHS the other day of Mission Impossible and just for s***s & giggles i smasked it with a hammer!

but i dont know how anyone could throw out a BD or even a dvd you still can make money off of them

[AFightingPanda]

I threw out a ton of vhs tapes. After I found out that nearly every vhs taped had been pan and scanned I couldn't bring myself to watch then, got rid of them, bought them on dvd. not going to do that for blu ray though since high quality is cool but not a must have....for me.

I thought I threw out my Clerks DVD when I cleaned out my bedroom one time. Went missing for almost a year until my mother found it in the trunk on our old Nissan. Think I stuffed a bunch of stuff in there in I traded in my car. Instead of taking it into the house I got lazy and stuffed it in the other car.

Uhh, umm you could have sold that for about $20 on E-Bay.

$20 for a used VHS of Mission Impossible....sounds a little steep to me.
However it does seem a little silly to trash something that you can get a few bucks for.

Trashed, no.
Given away, sure!

I was just messing with him. Thought he would respond as soon as I posted it. Guess he didn't I was making it sound like that VHS's were big collector items

I have some 8-tracks that I can sell. $20 opened...or $30 sealed. I'll give you the player for free!

I've thrown away some DVDs, but let's just say they weren't exactly the kind you'd buy in a store. The picture was always darker and blurrier.

I packed up all my VHS tapes in a box a couple years ago, and couldn't convince myself to just throw them away, even though most sell for $2 or less on Half.com/Amazon. So they're stored up in the rafters of the garage for now.

[Batman1980]

I throw away DVDs that stop working and once I threw away a narrated X-Men DVD because I was pissed off. :P

[McKellars]

I've had VHS's stop working on me but never DVD's. I actually still have the VHS's that don't work anymore. I should probably throw them out.

Got it....should have known!

I've never had that happen with a tape.
I went to a local electronics store a while back that has been renting VHS since the late 70s or early 80s.
They are selling their entire stock of VHS for $3 apiece,so I picked up a few for nostalgia reasons.One was The River with Mel Gibson.I popped it in,and while it certainly didn't look brand new it actually plays pretty well for a tape that has been used since about '85 or so!
