I can only answer the "why?" for myself. At the time I was doing my heavy buying, from 2000-2010 or so, I was going through a mid-life crisis. Realizing some of the easy dreams of youth were never going to happen. So I think a lot of my purchases were shows from my youth that I felt better just...

Exactly. That's why it took me nearly 20 years to figure out, by the numbers, what I watch repeatedly enough to justify really owning it. And it's not that much, relatively speaking. A few hundred discs. Maybe three hundred, BD and DVD combined.

Yes, but I guess the upside is that I have discovered what I really value and rewatch and want to keep. I could clear out an entire room in my house if I gave away all the DVDs I never watch. Am I sensible and generous enough to do it? We'll see.

That was my A movie list. I'm waiting to sum up the courage to post my B movie list.

Since I got my first DVD around the turn of the century, I've had the odd habit of recording the date on a post-it inside the DVD case whenever I watch a movie. I started the practice to see if I could justify the cost of buying versus renting. Now it's fun to look back and see just how often I...
