Do you own any movies just to own them?

Like, you know you will not watch them again, but you want them anyway. I have a few like that. "V is for Vendetta" is one of them. I really liked the strong analogies in them, and thought Portman did a wonderful job as always, but I will not watch it again. But I can't part with it. I want the Batman with Heath Ledger, but, again, only to own, but not rewatch. I have more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Then I have some that I can rewatch time and time again, and not ever lose interest. Like "Runaway Jury" and "Chocolat". What about you?

I would not buy a movie just to say that I owned it. it would have to be a movie that i wanted to watch over and over again when that certain mood strikes. I would not get the joy of owning a movie just to own it.

it's the same with me. i have got"titanic". i think there are many things more than just love in this movie. it shows the block between a rich girl and a poor guy,and how people act when the disaster comes.some. are selfish, some are selfless, and some will let the kids and women go first,and an old couple just hug each other in the bed. i was really touched by this movie and bought the DVD. it has some little details you can catch everytime you watch it and get a futher understanding.although i have rewatched it for a long time.but i can still review the plot of it. It is really worth collecting.

I do not watch very many movies. I fall right to sleep, it is a family joke. Hubby has dozens of John Wayne movies, VCR even, that he has never even unwrapped. I do have a few movies that have a significant place in my memory because of others they are associated with.

No Every film I wanted to see again. What usually happens is I see it the first time on t.v. I come in the middle. hen I see it from the beginning and I love it , so I tape it. Or I see it in the theater, and I wait until it is on Cable and I get it.

I have a pretty large movie collection. And I intend to watch them. Most of the time at one point or another I do.If I don't someone else in the house will!

Sure I do , I have many of the old disney movies on dvd.I love to have the old collection and have at least a few dozen of them.It sure cost a lot to purchase but i like to rewatch them during the holidays and think that just having is kind of collection is nice.I also collect all the dragon ball z shows and movies and have all 200 and odd shows in a box set as well all of the moveis.I watched them all back to back once in a few days with even the moveis to.I watch the casual episode once in a while and just keep it as a collection along with other movies i have collected over the years.

I used to have movies on video. Most of them were copied from the television during the 80's and 90's. I have heaps of them. Then in 2004, I started collecting movies on DVD. I should have close to 1000 movies so far. And now I am also getting a lot of TV series on DVD. A lot of that stuff, I will re-watch, if they don't go and change the technology on me again. Quite often, I get in the mood to re-watch an old favourite rather than putting on a new one. But in the last 6 months, I am really into crime mysteries. BONES, CASTLE, The Mentalist and I just got the first season of SVU.

I do own some movies for collection purposes. This includes "Star Wars" and James Bond movies. My husband actually doesn't like repeating movies but I do. But I'm just not a fan of all James Bond movies. I just want to have them for my collection.

I usually only buy movies that I'm sure I would re-watch.) It's because I don't want to waste my money, DVD's and VCD's here in Philippines are really expensive! I usually just borrow from my friends if there's a new movie I'd like to watch, and it helps that my friends have different interest in movies.
