DVD Meme
Don't blame me. unquietsoul5 tagged me with this meme.
Oh, who am I kidding? I could have ignored it. I'm just taking the opportunity to brag about all my DVDs.
1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video:
DVDs: Currently 155. But that counts 10 DVDs of Sebastian's, and Teri's Disney DVDs. It also counts 13 multi-disk TV series sets (generally including 5 or more disks each) as one DVD per set. Plus there are other multi-disk sets, including two which I'll be getting in the next week or two. So 155 is the low end; the high end is easily over 200.
But then, I'm an early adopter.
As for videos, that's almost impossible to calculate. There were 9 pre-recorded videos on the DVD shelf. I know that Teri has almost every Disney movie on VHS someplace, but I didn't see them. Sebastian probably has 40 vhs tapes too. But if you're talking vhs of all sorts, I probably have over 300. That includes ones on which I have three movies taped on each; for example, The Terminator, Aliens, and John Carpenter's The Thing are on one tape. Not to mention thousands of hours of SCTV, Monty Python, MST3K, and rarities from the early days of Comedy Central.
Unfortunately most of them aren't labeled, and 95% of them are in boxes in the basement. :(
2. The last film I bought:
The last film I got was Spirited Away; it was a birthday gift. I can't remember what the last DVD I bought was, but the next two I'm buying are SCTV Vol. 3 and the Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy miniseries.
3. The last film I watched: Yellow Submarine. We've seen it at least ten times in the past two weeks. It's Sebastian's new favorite, and I couldn't possibly express how cute it is to listen to him singing along with all the songs.
4. Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:
The Third Man
Army of Darkness
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
Big Trouble In Little China
Casablanca
Of course, that leaves out TV series (like SCTV and The Prisoner), which would otherwise be on the list. And there are lots of others, of course. There's no exact order, except that The Third Man is absolutely number one.
5. Tag 5 People and have them put this in their journal:
