If you go to DVD Spot you will see that it says I don't hardly watch any of my movies, but that is totally not true. I just don't take the time to log them when I watch them. There are probably less than 25 that I haven't watched. I generally watch my movies the same day I buy them just to make sure that they don't have any glitches and have to be returned. Would hate to not watch a movie and then when I do, it doesn't play right or something, and I can't take it back because I bought it a year ago or something.

One of these days I will get caught up on DVD spot with the movie posting. Heck, I probably have four or five hundred titles that I haven't even posted into the collection yet. I am really bad about that.

At one point in 2005, I had a lot I had not watched about 50+ movies. But I made of list of them and tracked the hours on weekly basis and it took me about 3 months to finish. Therefore, I only have some Seinfeld episodes and T&J shorts to finish this week.

Then, I will start the Simpsons 1 and watch all of them through Season 7 over the next couple months.

Your family must visit alot. What's the point of owning movies if you don't open them?

This is not my case. In fact, ALWAYS that I buy a movie I watch it right when I get home. However, if it is a movie that has lots of action scenes and/or uses a very loud 5.1 I'll leave it for the next day because otherwise I'll have to watch it in stereo; and I refuse to (unless I have already watched it).

The only exception to this rule so far has been The Simpsons 7th Season. I did watch all of the episodes with audiocommentary but I haven't watch them by themselves or most of the extras.

That is becuase I got hooked to cable TV and have many videogames yet to finish; a shame I didn't get cable TV sooner because it would have saved me from buying many of those DVDs and games.

I'm pretty sure I've watched all my DVDs at least once, usually the day I buy them or shortly thereafter. Some of them I've only watched once, but not a lot because I really only buy movies I watch more than once.

Anyways, scanning my list of DVDs, I have yet to actually put these discs into my player, though for most of them I have seen the movie (or TV show). It's really sad to see how long it is, because probably half the movies on the list are ones I bought with the intention of watching as soon as I got home, but they end up sitting opened (to check the discs) and unplayed for months on end.

i've watched pretty much everything i have but there are some things i've never watched with my full attention, just had on in the background. "the man who fell to earth" is the only one i've totally never gotten around to, which is funny because it's supposedly really good.

Wow - I am so guilty of this.

It's simple, really. DVD enthusiasts will typically buy a DVD during the first week it comes out, due to cost savings (and total excitement like me). This doesn't necessarily mean you have the time to sit down and watch them right away, so they build up.

I still haven't made it all the way through Batman Begins! I still have to watch Brothers Grimm, and Serenity....and my Yogi Bear Entire Series collection. Amongst others.

I wish I had more time, but by the time I get my five kids in bed....I'm exhausted! AND I have to keep up with my Netflix subscription. :roll:

I should make a list.

I usually never watch DVDs or my videos. I'm lame like that.
I'll only watch them whenever I get really bored, which is rare.
I've watched all my DVDs (exept 3 or 4) once or twice.
