Hmm, seen the movie in 1968 when I was 11, totally loved it, seen it 10 more times before seeing it on TV and buying the video, then the DVD.
And bought every possible book about the movie; I even have some (like Jerome Agel's) which are out of print.
But somehow, after the real year 2001 passed, it became much calmer!

My obsession:

And Sir Arthur!
