I still buy VHS tapes, they sell for about 99 cents at Block Buster now. I may possibly be one of the few people to own and have watched all 4 Critters movies. I only own about 4 DVD's, and I probably won't buy that many more. Because most of the movies I like will never be put in DVD format.  |

I know, there are many classics...well I consider them classics, that I would love to have on DVD, but the market is in over-drive spinning out new-releases, there's no way it could possible cover that much history...but never say never   |

My fiance and I actually buy quite a few DVDs when we have the money to do so..we actually like them a lot more than the VHS tapes because the picture quality is great, no rewinding, just cut back to the beginning of a scene..lots of bonus features. I wouldn't say never about alot of classics showing up on DVD at some point..we just bout the Alien Quadrilogy (all 4 Alien movies with Sigourney Weaver) and each disc has two versions of the movie..the theatrical release and then a special edition in directors cut fashion. Plus there is a bonus disc for each movie with deleted scenes, and interviews and such. Who knows what else will come out or already has on DVD..you just have to keep looking.  |

I have been on a movie buying binge, and I think it is an addiction. Or, mindless entertainment, like you said. Or, boredom. We have too many toys. You are right about movies taking the place of more important things. But, it's fun in a way. You can look like a slob, lay down on the floor, and munch on. It's more of us doing something together, but are we really? We don't talk to each other during the movie. LOL.  |

This is a horrible obssession. I have purchased over 50 dvds and we have not watched one of them. they are still shrink wrapped. I think it should be considered an addiction, and there should be some sort of 12 step program or something. haha. i need to go to bed i'm tired and it's late, and that is definately the dumbest comment I have left all evening...*head is spinning* Love Yourself,  |

ever since DVD players hit the shelves, ALOT of my friends have become purchasing additts ... i mean some of them have enough DVDs to start their own Blockbuster store! But before DVDs, very few of them would have owned more that one or two videos and even these would have been taped off the tv. i personally havent fallen victim to this, i still rent DVDs or often borrow off one of my friends. i have a couple but they've been given to me as gifts. there are only a few movies that i can watch more that once or twice and i guess if iam dying to watch them, i'll rent them!  |

I started buying DVDs when I was living in a dorm. I didn't have a TV, but my computer had a DVD player. It was the same thing with many of the other people on my floor. They would hear that I had movies, and they would come borrow them, and if they had some too I borrowed theirs. I met some of my friends like that. We bonded over our favorite movies. I don't live in the dorm anymore, but I haven't stopped my habit. I know that I could put my money to better use, but I can't seem to stop.  |
