Show off your movie collection (Page 2 of 3)

Props for the VHS unfucked with Star Wars. Also props for the Alien Queen model, that thing looks badass.

Quick iPhone pic of my collection.  I'm currently in between formats in the Hitchcock department, in case anyone noticed the scant selection.  Also, no District 9...haven't even seen it yet.  Did I add that one to my Embarrased To Admit I Haven't Seen post?

I have a few of them, just Ikea bracket things.

A friend of mine has a whole wall of his apartment covered in them - they scale really well.

I don't have it, nor do I plan on purchasing it.

Picture will come... later.

The odd things at the top of the first pic are 750 GB hard drives that are extensions to my DVR and together hold about 300 HD movies.

Glad we did this. Now I can see what I have in my collection even when I'm traveling.

Discoveries:

• Hey, I own Monty Python's Meaning of Life!

• Hey, I own The Magnificent Seven!

• Hey, where's The Simpsons Eighth Season?

• Hey, where are Fringe seasons 1 and 2?

• Hey, I own a LOT of children's movies for a guy who does not own children

• Hey, my Hovitos fertility idol has become separated from my Indiana Jones movies

Do I spy Wallace and Gromit within your collection?!

I also have all Wallace and Gromit shorts and movie on DVD.

"Life is about movies; anything else is a bonus!"- Me   

I find it strange that UK releases have all those colored certificate icons all over them. It's one thing to require them prominently displayed on the back or something, but on the spine?

Somehow the empire survived for hundreds of years without books being labeled that way....

On the spine, the back, the front...you name it and there's a certificate there! I'm so used to it though, so any imports I get just look strange. US blu-ray cases are also thinner than ours.

Speaking of the ratings being plastered everywhere, back in the days of VHS we used to have these messages before the film started (after trailers and anti-piracy stuff).

Okay, here's my entire current iTunes movie library. I use my Apple TV to watch them. SO much more convenient than DVDs. Some of these are digital copies, but most of them are ripped DVDs from my collection or a friend's collection. The movies with a blue dot by the title are the ones I haven't seen, at least all the way through, or maybe I saw too long ago to remember.

And disregard the baby movies (e.g. Barbie, Elmo, etc.)! My friend has little kids. But I'll own up to the older cartoons like 'The Secret of NIMH' and 'Balto'. Those are mine, and classics!

At least half my collection isn't available for streaming. And you can't stream director's commentaries or other extras—or even subtitles, for the most part.

Yeah that's the only thing, you can rip the movie with commentary or subtitles but you have to rip the movie with the settings baked in, no switching back and forth. I ripped Discreet Charm with the subtitles, because I don't know French (Not that I'll be watching it again anyway haha). But I don't want 2 or 3 copies of the same movies taking up hard drive space.

And yeah I wish iTunes had some sort of setup for special features like deleted scenes and BTS. I guess I could just label them as TV Shows or something... But that might get messy. Oh well.
