And the ones I've got, I very rarely watch anyway.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance "Yep, agree. I can't remember the last time I purchased a DVD. And the ones I've got, I very rarely watch anyway." I only buy DVDs like Star Wars, Harry Potter, LOTR, stuff like that or of course kids movies. I do buy those for my kids.
Originally Posted By ecdc See, I love having a nice film library. I don't have like 18,000 DVDs, but I have several hundred and there are some I've only watched once or twice. But they represent films I really love and I think are important, like 12 Angry Men, The Third Man, etc. they represent my love of detective noir, so I have Laura, Murder My Sweet, The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, Chinatown, Blade Runner, and LA Confidential, among others. I'll buy the Criterion edition of Shoah next month, and odds are I'll watch it once. Nine hour Holocaust documentaries don't exactly scream for repeat viewings. But it's an important film and I'm proud to have it in a collection.

Chaplin is the sweet innocent, Keaton the stoic outsider, but Lloyd—the modern guy striving for success—is us. And with its torrent of perfectly executed gags and astonishing stunts, Safety Last! is the perfect introduction to him. Lloyd plays a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city, who finds employment as a lowly department-store clerk. He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store, resulting in an incredible feat of derring-do on his part that gets him started on the climb to success. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is a movie experience par excellence, anchored by a genuine legend."

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance So on my Disney movie club this month Oz is the feature of the month, it has DVD w/Digital copy priced at $21.95 and DVD Combo Pack at $29.99 which is pretty on par with what normal Disney prices are. Target and Walmart are usually quite a bit less than Disney sells them for. Maybe $18 for DVD, $25 for Blue Ray combo. Of course that's not the 3D pack which is maybe what you all are referring to.
