    Well, video collectors are movie fans.

    I rarely buy movies less than 10 year old because they play them endlessly on the movie channels. You get to see them a lot. I like to pick up the old classics that rarely get shown or have only been shown in poor pan-and-scan instead of full cinema widescreen. I see things I've never seen before.

    Most films you can see once, but there are still hundreds of great ones that stand up to repeated viewing over the years.

    I'm probably going to find a used Planet Earth Blu-ray, its a pricy set.

    Band of Brothers - REMARKABLE. Worth the price of admission (though, to be fair, I recieved it as a gift). Sound and picture are like nothing I've ever seen.
    Dark Knight
    Stranger Than Fiction
    Pinocchio 70th Anniversary
    Man on Fire
    Kingdom of Heaven
    Slumdog Millionaire
    The Matrix- not the box set, just the 1st one's 10th anniversary edition. Don't care for the 2nd and 3rd at all.

    Did you guys really like John Adams? What am I missing? I thought it was terribly boring.

    Maybe I should go back for seconds. I thought it was well acted and smart and all that, but maybe it's just that American history doesn't intrigue me the way that Roman history and that of the wild west has.
