Do you like it enough to own it?

[Fierce Critter]

For the most part, Jon and I don't buy DVD's/VHS tapes of movies. There's precious little out there we'd care to sit through more than once.

We will buy movies at yard sales if it's cheaper than renting.

But we have some exceptions. My list follows - what are YOUR picks for movies/etc. that you'd like enough to buy and rewatch - and do you actually re-watch them?

Mine include:

Movies:

Little Big Man

The Crow

Edward Scissorhands

Swashbuckler

My Chauffer

Walt Disney's Robin Hood

Braveheart - yard sale purchase only, wouldn't pay full price.

Titanic - Yard Sale purchase only, wouldn't pay full price.

TV:

The Monkees

Xena

Nestor the long eared Christmas donkey (kudos if you know it)

Other:

The Cure - Staring at the Sea

The Cure - whatever came after Staring at the Sea

Siouxsie & the Banshess - Singles video collection

R.E.M. - early video collection

Split Enz - video collection

Pretenders - video collection

Cheap Trick - video collection

Cats - London stage performance

We'll probably also eventually buy a copy of Napoleon Dynamite.

I'm a huge fan of both Miller and Rodriguez. They confirmed that a "collectors edition" will be released later. This will have scenes edited out for time constraints. Not to mention tons of other stuff. Kinda like what del Toro did for "Hellboy". So, if you're poor (like me) try to resist the urge to buy this version.

As for the topic: I am a huge film junkie. I own more than I realy should. I can't help it. I'm addicted.

If it has Bruce Campbell in it I'm going to get it and view it over and over and over and over.........................................
