My DVD collection has grown to over 100 titles. I get quite a few of my movies second hand from Blockbuster. When a hit movie comes out on DVD, Blockbuster will have perhaps 40 copies on their shelves. After the initial rental surge, they sell surplus DVDs for $10 (sometimes even less), about half the price they sell for new. I always inspect the disks for scratches and they have a 30 day return policy. So far, all of my disks have been good.

My collection is pretty diverse. My wife likes Academy Award "Best Picture" winners. We have perhaps 15-20 of those. We have several comedies, a lot of military related movies, and some really good dramas. We also have some lessor movies that were either cheap or just something bought on impulse. While I doubt I'll ever get my wife to watch "Joe's Apartment" again, I'll watch it just for the animation effects. On the other hand, "Bug's Life" and "Shrek" are keepers for life. Besides being a hilarious movie, the bonus materials on "Shrek" are fascinating for anyone interested in computer animation. For anyone interested in how movies are made, the bonus materials are very valuable.
