I'm going to take some time off if I mistakenly buy another one I already have.  I've only done that once so far.

Three hundred something.

ETA - I remember the first one I bought in '96 or '95 (along with a $600 2x DVD-ROM so I could play it) was Dumb and Dumber, a steal for $50.

Less than 30, I probably have 1500 or more vhs tapes though. I cant stand that damn letter box theater format they use with dvds. If its not a fullscreen dvd, I stick with vhs for now.

For insurance purposes you should know how many, and which titles you own. A "couple hundred" would cost between $2000 - $4000 to replace.

I use DVD Profiler to track mine: DVD Profiler

It's free, and counts 'em fer ya......

I actually prefer the dvds, but I just like fullscreen, if I wanted to see it as it was shown in the theater, I would go to the theater! This reminds me, I need to buy The Wild Geese now that its out on dvd.

All I know is that I need another DVD stand.

I figure I got around 200-225 (Action,Comedy,Anime)

about 50. I try to keep it to good movies.
My most recent pick up was the lethal weapon box set at best buy for $17, what a deal.

Only about a dozen. Only made the switch to DVDs a couple of years ago, and not willing to buy most DVDs unless its a movie I particularly like.

I have hundreds of LaserDiscs and 2 working players, so I've been dragged slowly into DVDs... at first I only bought titles that I didn't already own on LD or that were remastered/somehow improved.  I only recently started getting some of my favorite titles on DVD that I already have on LD.  I figure about the time I finish fully converting over a newer, better format will become the new standard and...

As to the original question, I own more firearms than DVDs.
