[quote name='thatstoobad'][quote name='KAR10']OK.
If I was you I'd gt rid of many movies.
Here it goes:
All the south park
king of the hill
simpsons
reno
sealab
some of your spiderman dvd's (your choice)
anything else
big lebowski[/quote]
i deleted all the stuff i don't care about from the quote, but are you insane? i could see not having "anything else" or maybe king of the hill (though i still own king of the hill, not anything else though), but not own the big lebowski? no south park, simpsons, and sealab? that's some of the best stuff he's got there. if that stuff isn't worthy of owning, i'd like to know what you think is.[/quote]
I know what you are saying but all that stuff is only worth watching one time or twice and that's it. After a while you won't find it funny anymore or interesting.
He is obviously bored of many titles he has that's why he can't find anything to watch anymore. He is tired of the dvd's I listed and you and he might not notice it right now but you will later on.
Look at what rating is everyone giving!
I don't see anyone posting a list of what needs to be leaving and what needs to stay except for me.
You didn't see me listing that he needed to get rid of the X-Files Seasons or his animation so if I didn't list some of the stuff is because is worth keeping.
I gave my opinion like he ask for so I did.

That is true, you did reply, and I appreciate that. I just think you have poor interests if you think I should get rid of South Park, The Simpsons, and The Big Lebowski.
But thats just "my opinion"
:lol:

As collections go, I've seen better; then again, I've also seen worse.
Fact is, for the DVD collectors among us, we all have titles that were either regrettable purchases or unfortunate gifts, and very few of us have libraries that would validate our AFI membership applications.
With that said, there are some questionable choices that even I can't defend:
* Barb Wire
* Joe Dirt
* The Hot Chick
* The Joe Schmo Show
* The Real Cancun
Softcore and anime is a matter of personal taste. While I do admit to watching pro wrestling, I would never buy any WWE videos. I have nothing against Adam Sandler, but most of his comedies weren't particularly good; his dramatic work (such as "Punch Drunk Love") was better.
You should also consider smaller independent films* to diversify your collection (* such as those shown at the Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals). Criterions do add some validation to your library (except "Armageddon"). I didn't miss "Elephant" in your collection (an exceptional film).
You have too many movies in full screen - that's a *BIG* no-no. You'll need to pay closer attention to your purchases to ensure that such mistakes aren't repeated in the future (for gifts, exchange them at a nearby retailer).
If I had to assign an overall score (I omitted the softcore and anime from the evaluation), I think a 5.5/10 would be more than fair.

I know criterons, are great to have. And I have been thinking of getting a few. However, I don't seem to be able to find any at any of the places I look. And they are expensive.
Also, i only own like 10 FS dvds. Least I think its only 10. If not fewer.
Die Another Day
Spider-Man
The Fellowship Of The Ring
Anger Management
Not gonna look through the rest.......
Oh and..ahem..yah those movies you mentioned:
The Hot Chick (Best Rob Schnieder movie, imo, and i dunno just found it funny)
The Real Cancun (ummmmm.....was cheap.....and wet t-shirts!!!) lol(yah the movie isn't that great though. Iv'e been thinking of getting rid of it.)
Barb Wire (Pamela Anderson is hot. That is all)
Joe Dirt (Don't mess with the mullet. I'm surprised you didn't list Dickie Roberts, since you listed this.)
Joe Schmo (Yah, I enjoyed watching this on tv, and never got to see all the episodes. Plus its uncensored. It's the best reality tv show imo)
So, only ones i would consider getting rid of are Joe Dirt, and The Real Cancun.
anyways, thanks for the suggestions though.
And thanks, RodeoJones.

There's no shortage of places online that stock Criterions, including auction sites like eBay. Best Buy carries a few; Wal-Mart and Circuit City, for the most part, doesn't (I think "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Chasing Amy" were the only exceptions). And yes, you do have to pay for quality.

If implants and herpes are your thing, I'll just step out of your way.
I must have missed it when I was scanning through the items; belongs in the same pile as "Joe Dirt". The only half-decent David Spade movie in recent memory was "Black Sheep", but only because Chris Farley carried the film for the most part.
A tad sensitive, are we? Remember: you are the one soliciting our feedback.anyways, thanks for the suggestions though.

I've gotta disagree on the Hot Chick. I thought that was one of Rob Schneider's funniest movies. It's not the greatest in plots but that's a given considering it's about high school vapidity (is that even a word?).

Vapidity........dunno. lol
Anyways, yah, I don't shop online...so I'll have to check out Best Buy for criterons. Although, there aren't that many that catch my interest.

500 is indeed a lot...I've got about 130 titles on my DVDProfiler database, but some of those are multi-disk tv or anime sets.
I have quit buying dvd's for quite some time; the last ones I bought were a couple of TV/anime series I got on sale/with coupons/etc, a couple of the most recent batch of Disney Treasures, and a few titles from the DDD 20% sale [and I've already sold/traded two of them.]
With netflix, videogames, and a huge unwatched dvd library, I'm a lot more conservative with my dvdbuying dollar.
The only things on the horizon I am interested in getting is the Star Wars trilogy, Rock and Rule whever it comes out, and Return of the King EE.
Haven't looked at your collection in detail, I see a bunch of B-horror movies which can be fun but debatable as to whether they're worth owning. That question of course comes to the individual [again, Netflix has saved me lots of money, both on movies and TV on dvd--I rent the things I don't think I'll ever watch again, or aren't worth 'collecting'.]
Criterion has got this huge rep, and they do treat a movie with respect, but to me, the question is 'Do I like this movie?' The only Criterion I bought was Brazil. There's not another movie that's got a Criterion that I'm really interested in watching, much less buying for 40+$.
Regarding Full Metal Panic that someone suggested: I'm watching this now, and enjoying it. It's a WHOLE LOT lighter than Evangelion. NGE seemed too 'deep' for me, I know I was missing a lot of the symbolism and such. And by disk 8, I was fastforwarding it just to finish it. I'm only on disk 1 of FMP, so there's no guarantee I won't do the same with it, but so far the tone of the program is very different. Made me laugh a few times, where NGE never did.
Anyone else want to post your collection? Is anyone else out there have a decently sized DVD collection? I know the focus here is games, but I would expect some crossover between the communities. I can post mine as well, just for comparison/ideas sake.

Cool. I'm not really into Mech animes as much as others like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Hellsing.
But i did really enjoy Neon Genesis and Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. So if its anything like those, than I might check it out.

Full Metal Panic is a weird crossover between high school hijinks and big frickin' robots kickin' each others' butts. It does get a bit serious at the end but not as deep and symbolic as NGE. As a followup, I would suggest picking up Full Metal Panic: Fomuffu (if it gets released in the US), it's more high school hijinks than big frickin' robots but it does involve a giant cuddly teddy bear that's carrying more artillery than even Rambo could hold and speaks only one word: Fomuffu. It'll make sense once you see it :lol:
[quote name='jaykrue'] a giant cuddly teddy bear that's carrying more artillery than even Rambo could hold [/quote]
sold!
Even cuter than teddy bears, are kick-ass teddy bears!
So far I like the 'high school hijinks' aspect of FMP; it hasn't gotten too juvenile yet. And it's quite an interesting play on the 'fish out of water' concept.
edit for posterity/the historical record: this was my 1,000th post, and I guess I get a Yahtzee on Uncle Pennybags's heads.

lol. Did anyone experience problems with this site yesterday? My topic went down to lik2 2 pages and the last updated topic was marked October 1st. lol
I see they fixed it though, so thats cool.
Anyways, if it is less mech-style than Neon Genesis, than I'll probbaly check it out.
When I say i don't like mech animes, i'm talking about like 2 of the bigest mech animes out there....
Gundam Wing and Transformers.

If you don't mind a touch of mech action along w/ gratiutious displays of skin (but no actual nudity) aka fan service along w/ a LOT of gunfire check out Bakuretsu Tenshi (or as it will probably be called when it comes to the US: Exploding Angel or Burst Angel)

Especially when some of their DVDs are as bare as a Warner Brothers release. I think Criterion is extremely overrated, though some classic films wouldn't see the light of day in Region 1 otherwise. Rather monopolising it all.
