I have 37 out of 50. 22 out of the top 25. Missing anything animated.

[JohnAV]

43 out of 50, all top 25 ones.

[zarquon]

I only have 41 of them. *Hangs head in shame*

[alchav21]

I have 22 in my Digital Movie Collection out of the Top 50!

I’m only missing the Revenant and the live action Aladdin.

Just ordered those.


I need the top 100 list now. I still have about 116 moves on Blu that need upgrade to UHD disc.

4K of Revenant is one of my favorites. Pretty impressive that you now have all 50.

I really liked it on Blu and wanted to upgrade it eventually.

[Wendell R. Breland]

Only have 18 from that list, some in UHD and some in 3D. I have viewed 47 titles from that list via Netflix disc by mail.

Recently it was reported that vinyl outsold cds for the first time.

I’m not surprised because in my town Best Buy and Walmart both have vinyl and no cds at all.

I was rebuilding my music server when I discovered I was missing several cds. I likely sold them at some point or otherwise misplaced them.

Getting them back will be a challenge,

At least I’m glad I avoided the company who managed people’s cd collection in the cloud before vanishing almost overnight. Interesting story,...

Yeah, I have all but 2 of the MCU movies in 3D. But I went ahead and upgraded them to 4K through the Disney Movie Club 60% off offer. Much cheaper than the lackluster boxed set that was released.

Crazy how much I've diverged from the main-stream. I used to be all about the multiplex blockbusters when I was growing up in the 80's, and I even took flack for my mainstream tastes (Carpenter? Spielberg?? Heavens no!) at film school in the 90's. Now, the only three movies I own or care to own on this list have "Star Wars" in the title.

[bhampton]

Blade runner, alien covenant, Dunkirk, ...

I see some good titles that are not Star Wars or marvel.

To be clear, it's "Blade Runner 2049" that's on this list. It'd be nice if there were actually a catalog title like "Blade Runner" on here.

Redback spiders are pretty common here, it's highly unlikely that you would die from a bite, you'd be a bit sick for a few days though. I remember when I first moved into my apartment almost 17 years ago, I had a bench press on my balcony, where the Weber is now. I didn't use it for several months, and had the plate weights placed up against the wall, and a couple of Redbacks had made a home behind them.

The Redback is not the most venomous spider that we have, we have a spider called a Funnel Web here, which is considered to be the deadliest spider in the world:

They are not as common as the Redback, I haven't seen many Funnel Web spiders in my lifetime. A friend of mine used to milk venom from Funnel Web spiders, and snakes, for the Australian Reptile park.

I do not like spiders. If I see one inside my home I kill it on sight and I do not ask questions later.

Outside, I live and let live, but indoors is exclusively my domain.

We allow small house spiders to live inside. They are great for controlling ant problems.

About 3 months ago I was cleaning in my bedroom and moved a piece to furniture. I saw a spider web with a large spider in it behind it. Turns out it was a Black Widow.

A gigantic wolf spider got inside my home once and I nearly went berserk in my efforts to kill it. My cat had discovered it first and he thought it was just another toy. I did not know what kind of spider it was at the time, only that it was huge and that it HAD to die. After turning the room upside down, the menace was neutralized.
