Does anyone else feel like they own too many movies?

[DealsR4theDevil]

Lately ive been feeling like i do .... i even own a handful of titles that i dont like ....

I tried going through to get rid of some (sell them on eBay) but i just couldnt bring myself to get rid of any .. and then some were gifts .. and i know i wont get anything near what i paid back so it seems like such a waste ....

Option #3.

See, this I don't understand. Why do people own movies they don't even like?

[GarettP]

There are too many more I want on Blu!!

Option #2 for me. I wish I hadn't bought I Am Legend, Kung Fu Panda, or Cars. I bought them when I first got into Blu-ray and was looking for good PQ titles with decent prices at Best Buy. Kung Fu Panda is a good movie but I never watch it. Cars is another good movie but I never watch it either. I Am Legend is a mediocre/bad movie.

most of them were well intentioned gifts .. and a few just blind buys; blockbuster was closed and we wanted to really see a movie that night ... and when blu-ray first came out you couldn't really rent them so i was more tempted to blind buy ...

it really isnt that many though ... maybe like 10 movies i dont like ...

and thats a good point ... it is nice to have a few movies there for friends or family that dont share my movie tastes ...

My collection will probably never be complete, but I'll call it even when I get a certain few more titles (like "Gremlins," "Streetcar Named Desire," "The Cell," etc...).

No idea.

To answer the OP: No, I do not own enough movies

[atomik kinder]

I only have a couple that I wished I hadn't purchased. I don't blind buy too much anymore since the number of titles being released has greatly increased over the last three years.

I wish I owned more.

They can buy their own

Your collection should be what you and your family enjoys. I also only buy those which I think I will watch more than once (replay value), which justifies the purchase vs a rental. I have many movies that I like, but I know I won't watch them again after the rental, unless they're on tv someday, so I don't buy those. You won't get the movies right every time either - I've traded/sold a few along the way that I knew I wasn't going to watch again. But the only movies you should own that you don't particularly like should be those picked by the wife or for the kids. Once your collection grows, don't worry - your friends and extended family are bound to find one or two that they can also enjoy with you (and then you won't get stuck watching something you don't like, which, even though you're being considerate of others, is not a time spent with others that YOU will enjoy - so what's the point, mind as well play cards instead).

I want more. More more more!! I need moneys to buy though and thats why I don't have more.

That is something I don't truly get. Your movie collection should be about what you enjoy watching not what others would like to see. If there are movies they wish to see, they can buy it, rent it or catch it on a movie channel, the options are there. Unless one is running a business

For the OP, I wish I had a few mores in my collection right now but I am taking it easy, I know that quite a few of them prices will go down and I will get them later on.

I own more than I need, but I don't really have any regrets. I am just trying to avoid owning as many Blu-rays as I had DVDs, which was over 800, because it's hard to store that many movies. I am doing less blind-buying with Blu-ray to avoid that. With DVD I probably would have just gone out and bought GI Joe, which I didn't see, but I'll just rent it on Blu-ray. I've also done a good job at waiting on deals and won't pay over $20 for a Blu-ray unless it's something I really want.

[bfellow]

I'm going to start unloading alot of them since they were worth only watching once or not at all.

[Kryptonic]

Somewhere between options 3 and 4. I pretty much have just about everything currently available that I want, but there's a few I'm waiting to drop in price.

[s-ray]

I own at least as many music/concert discs and television series, as I do movies. They have better repeat viewing appeal to me.

[Jutty]

Yup id certainly like more.....but im sure the misses would have somthing to say,,,,So i just buy buy buy,and maybe she wont notice
