Dawson: I think for me it's more the realization that I rarely go back and watch DVDs again. Once or twice is typical, except for "classics" like

Office Space or Princess Bride.

And kid's movies, like Kung-fu Panda. We'll watch that and it will get used on car trips.

But we'll likely rent Dark Knight.

We borrow them from the library. Quit buying them a long time ago. -- nm - lileve Dec 8, 09:26
I almost never rewatch them. I have some that the kids love, but for me I'll never pick up a movie I've seen before to watch again. If I run across - pmb Dec 8, 09:12 1
- Yep. It took us a long time to realize this. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 09:13
For me, if I saw a movie in the theater I liked, I'll Netflix it for a rewatch when it comes out. Rarely purchase one instead. -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 8, 09:09
I've never been much of a DVD purchaser. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 09:06
Agreed. I cut down my 250+ DVD collection to about 20 kids discs. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 09:04
Even if I want to watch something again--I'll just get it somewhere. I don't need to own it. I have too much crap already. -- nm - Amy Dec 8, 09:04
there's a critical mass around 100 DVDs where you realize you're never watching all of these over again. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 09:02 9
- *ding* I feel guilty putting them on the Xmas list this year -- nm - Epiphany Dec 8, 09:38
- yep. the only stuff i buy now is the region 2 and region 3 stuff i can't see otherwise....nm - x, riding a unicorn of happiness over a rainbow Dec 8, 09:24
- I have 160 listed on DVD Aficionado that I haven't updated in a while, but I bet I haven't bought 10 DVDs since then. -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 8, 09:15
- I never got this far, but I'm not a big rewatcher so it has never been worth it to me to purchase. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 09:09
- yeah, I've been toying with the idea of putting a bunch of stuff we just don't watch on half.com. - Callisto Dec 8, 09:09 2
  - I'll TiVo movies I own such because I like the TiVo control better than the DVDs player control you have while watching. -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 8, 09:10 1
    - exactly. -- nm - Callisto Dec 8, 09:11

- This is why I rarley buy DVDs anymore. And even with that, most DVDs I own haven't been touched/watched in years. -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 8, 09:04
(so it's not worth the money to buy them.) -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 09:01 1
- That and having to store them. I just hate having lots of stuff around, really. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 09:04
