Re: How big is your DVD wishlist
My list is my Sig. I'm mainly a TV/DVD collector but there's a couple of movies that I'm waiting for releases. I'm dying for "I Walk Alone" and "Invisible Stripes". Also, "The Brass Bottle". And, how about a real release for "Charley Varrick"?
"Checkmate King Two Out" Jeff Willis "Combat! A Selmur Production"
I'm a 50's - mid-90's TV/DVD Collector. One DVD show since '96: Firefly

In my case, I have watched my Doris Day videos dozens of times since I initially taped or bought them years ago. I buy only DVDs of films I REALLY love and have watched on video
at least 60 times or more and you would be surprised how many there are!!!

There are some musicals and melodramas I have seen litterally hundreds of times since starting my collection in 1986.
For sure, some months are more expensive than others.

I'm thinking of May and July specifically

I redo a wish list of 200 wants each year and so far more than 20 have been released or announced so it's pretty terrific!!! I might add that most of my DVD dreams come true are the work of WHV! But needless to say my ENTIRE wishlist includes much more than 200 titles...
Sing your worries away, smile, be kind and accentuate the positive!
DVD wish list: The Accused (48), Margie (46), I'll Get By (50), The Constant Nymph (43), The Voice of the Turtle (47), The Barretts of Wimpole Street (34), Her Twelve Men (54), The Lost Moment (47), I Walk Alone (48), The Glass...

Re: How big is your DVD wishlist
5 years ago I would have posted a page long list of films I wanted but now with over 1800 films, old and new, there isn't that many left that I want on dvd. Unlike others here I'm not on a mission to own every classic oldie ever made, just the films I've seen and enjoyed over the years.

Becket and Robinson Crusoe on Mars were always near the top of my wishlist but it now looks like I'll finally be striking them off the list.

Other top favorites I don't have on dvd yet are the epics - El Cid, Fall of the Roman Empire and 55 Days at Peking. They are available in other regions but I'm holding out for remastered special editions hopefully in the near future.
