Hurrah! My Disney Collection is finally 100 % complete!

[Chernabog]

Now I´m really boastful I know!
But today I finally got the last piece to my Disney collection
Run, Cougar, Run from 1972.
A little sad in the same time:
All the pleasure moments that I had experinced through the years when I had the chance to see someting that I hadn´t seen before is now over.
The future will be a little empty without this feeling and happiness, since nothing of the new stuff can make me feel as good as the old Disney features.
Well, what should I do now...?

[Luke]

Explain. Every Disney film? On video?

[Chernabog]

Yes every DIsneyfeature that have had an theatrical release in USA.
I have many on DVD but the old ones is mostly on video!

Wow, that's over 200 live-action films alone, plus another 50 or so animated. Amazing!

Congratulations!

Watch them ALL...chronologically.
Then report back to us in 2007 when you're finished

[poco]

LOL!! WOW! ALL of them!!!

I figure the next thing to do is make sure you get all the new releases when they come out. seems like there are a lot coming soon, so budget what you can!!

[Chernabog]

Thank you all!
And Luke, yes there is a lot of live action films... but in my collection I also include all Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures features, so all in all there is more than 500 features in my collection!

[Luke]

I had to add this smilie for this post alone:

Wow. Every film from all the branches? Amazing!

[Chernobog]

Well, what should I do now...?

You can now rest in peace

I tihnk i'd be completely happy if i had all the Disney cartoons from the 50's, 60's and 70's.

[Luke]

Oh man, a showdown for the ages - Chernabog and Chernobog posting in the same thread!

[jesus_brer]

do you have the monkey's uncle and the horsemasters i loves those films

[Loomis]

Well, what should I do now...?

I challenge you to sit down and watch them all back to back in one sitting.

3 toilet breaks will be allowed.

Then go outside and look at the sunshine.

[poco]

I am not going to be able to tell them apart.

[Chernabog]

To jesus_brer:
Of course The Monkey's Uncle are in my collection , but not The Horsemasters since the latter is not a US theatrical release (its made for TV)
Loomis:
That´s impossible I tried with all features that have the Disney banner on it, a few years back and I gave up wtching after 10 movies

[Sulley]

Congratulations! I'm mostly just going for all the animated classics, but I might do a little blind buying on the old Disney features. Since I haven't seen hardly any, I thought about maybe limiting myself to just collecting the DVDs through the '60's, and maybe some '70s movies here and there, but only if they are in their OAR. But right now, I'm trying to collect AFI's Top 100 American Movies of all time on DVD, (Judged from films released 1896-1996), and I'm having fun doing it. It helps if you're doing something like this to have a Columbia House DVD account. When I finally finish I should have a very nice little DVD home library.
But I just started recently, I've still got a LOT to go. The thing I love most about this is, it gives me a chance to see a lot of movies I've always wanted to see.

So Far:

1) Citizen Kane
4) Gone With The Wind (Watched Yesterday; Enjoyed it even more than when I rented the DVD a year ago. The rented version was the OOP MGM DVD, however, which had the nice Keep Case, but now I'm just being picky)
6) The Wizard of Oz (Haven't seen on DVD yet)
7) The Graduate (Fantastic movie; hilarious
8 ) On The Waterfront (Great Movie)
10) Singin' In The Rain (Best DVD Transfer I've EVER Seen; Highly Encouraged)
12) Sunset Boulevard (Kinda spooky, but still a classic)
18 ) Psycho (Just got in the mail with most of the others, haven't seen in about a year. Great fun)
25) E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (One of the many DVDs I got for Christmas but still haven't watched yet)
34) To Kill A Mockingbird (Good Movie)
41) West Side Story (Fantastic DVD for a fantastic musical)
51) The Philadelphia Story (Great Oldie; Jimmy's only Oscar)

Anyways, I'm having fun with it and encourage others to try it. Lawrence of Arabia (#5, Never Seen) should be arriving any day now, and of course, right when I order it, they're showing it on Turner Classic Movies (Most Respectable Channel) this Sunday as an Essiential.

Plan on getting Casablanca (#2) this Tuesday on the SE.

[MagicMouse]

Now you have just to buy the same again on dvd for better picture, not pan&scan versions, bonus material and new cover art (if Disney does want to make real good editions) : that's what I am doing...

[Luke]

It's a good idea in theory, but there's a number of films on the AFI Top 100 that I'd never want to see again. I AM on a quest to see all of them at some point, though. I've got around another 25 to see.

[Loomis]

My question to you, and to everyone else, is this:

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 came across this weird thing on the Criterion forum a few years back, where people were paying ridiculous amounts of money to get the early OOP titles (like Salo). Of course, nobody wanted to actually watch Salo. They either found it 1) distasteful or 2) didn't want to ruin the collectors value of it.
For me, as a comic collector, I can kind of understand this mentality, but when you are going to lengths to get things like videos and DVDs, you are running into a lot of $$$.
So I ask again:
Is there any chance of actually watching all of these again, or will they sit on our collective shleves gathering dust for the ages?

Just curious...

[herman_the_german]

7) The Graduate (Fantastic movie; hilarious

The only one I haven't seen on your list. I'll see it eventually, of course.
