I wish I knew why I buy dvd’s..

I see them on the shelf, and think “ooh, I gotta own that movie” and buy it … then with most of them, watch them once and never again.

Some I’ve had for months and haven’t gotten round to watching yet.

I went to see Bulletproof Monk at the cinema, and thought it was crap … last week I saw the dvd and bought it ..

.. admittedly now I’ve watched it again it’s great

Why do I buy instead of just hiring movies?  What is it that gives me the urge to own particular movies?  I have no idea.

I do like to own tv series, watching an entire series over the course of a couple of weeks is far more fun than just watching it one episode a week.  I rarely regeret buying a tv series on dvd … well, maybe Ripping Yarns..

And Box Sets… they seem to hold some kind of evil sway of me.. I’ve been known to buy a box set even though I already own one of the dvd’s … just to get the box…

And I own most of the Friends series, every Only Fools and Horses episode they released, the entire Robin of Sherwood etc etc on video … which in itself is fine … but strangely I now own them all on dvd as well..

In conclusion:  Bloody Dvd’s

Anyway, see the comments for my dvd lists!
