Have you bought all of those videos and DVDs because you actually like them and want to watch them all again and again, or simply because they are Disney?
I don't think it's possible Chernabog likes EVERY single film from all of Disney's branches. I mean that includes stuff like "From Dusk Til Dawn", "It's Pat", "Bubble Boy".
Maybe he does, though?

I think there's quite a few movies that I buy just because they're Disney, but that's only because I haven't seen them in theatres. If I see them in theatres, and they're terrible, then I don't buy them. But I only buy the DTV's if they look "up to snuff" (my one mistake was Hunchback 2). I ususally rent the DTV's anyway.
I only have two disney dvds
(snow white, beauty & the beast). However I'm only interested in the animated classics and I plan to get most of the platinum series, and some of the special edition discs. I'm an animation lover for the most part. I have non animation movies (Fellowship of the ring Extended, and Star Trek Classic (TOS)dvds). But my love of Japanese anime (Cowboy Bebop, Sailormoon, Robotech) will remain. I don't even have any rated R films in my collection. Only PG-13 and below. So there you go!

I was actually quite surprised by Bubble Boy.
I di not want to see it as I thought it looked SOOOO STUPID! But my mom wound up renting it, so I watched it just to apease her and was quite surprised...
No, of course not!
Some of the features is not good at all.
But I wanted to have my colelction complete so I bought them in any case. But even that I think som of them are bad, I think I will watch them all again now and then!
Sorry for posting so late, haven't been able to get on for a few days.
Luke, I am buying the top 100 AFI movies pretty much as a hobby, and to have a complete collection like with Disney's animated classics. For a while, I was renting them and buying some here and there, trying to decide whether or not to collect all 100, but when I decided I was going to do so, I realized it's a waste to rent them if you're planning on buying them all anyway. It also gives me a chance to see a bunch of movies I've always been curious of.
Loomis, although I am collecting them the way a collector would, I am most definitely watching each of them, and I'm trying to do it soon after I buy them. I did the same with the Disney Animated Classics, although I'm more of a fan for the movies themselves, and not the special features. I am buying them because they are Disney and on the AFI list, but I'm also buying them because I'd like another complete collection like my Disney classics and because I WILL watch them.
Last night I watched Lawrence of Arabia for the first time (on my new DVD, not TCM), and enjoyed it very much. There is a local Turtle's Music and DVD store going out of business (I wish I'd known about it sooner or I would have been there two weeks ago when the sale started), and I picked up two more on the list I've never seen; Doctor Zhivago and The Deer Hunter. My mom, the ultimate fan of anything Christmas, bought Home Alone on DVD and the OOP DVD of The Santa Clause. Though I urged her to wait until the new SE was available everywhere this Christmas (I can't remember why we didn't get it last Christmas), she bought it telling me she'll watch it at work about 50 times before Christmas (She does work while watching a movie on the DVD-ROM in another window of her computer). I guess we'll just upgrade when we get a widescreen TV.
What would this wretched world be like without Disney?
I only have two disney dvds
