I belong to the now-extinct 8-disk plan on netflix, so I probably go through 2-6 rentals a week, but only buy 1-2 a month now that I've got most of the DVDs I want. I've got one DVD on order for later this month, one tentatively for next month (hoping for a WS Muppet Treasure Island announcement before I order, but I'm loosing hope rapidly), maybe A Beautiful Mind, and then the Back To The Future Trilogy. Might get Spiderman. That's about it for my plans for the year.

My collection is just over 200 DVDs, including everything Monty Python has out on DVD, a decent number of blockbusters, a number of good but lesser known movies, and a handful of guilty pleasures. And then a few like the Kevin Cosner collection that just don't fit at all but where christmas gifts.

However, the list of movies that I want on DVD that I don't have is biased towards older movies that aren't available on DVD yet. The original Star Wars trilogy, Back to the Future (finally officially announced for overseas distribution, but not US distribution), Indian a Jones, 1 and 3 at least, oh, and speaking of guilty pleasures, Ice Pirates.

I buy DVDs that I'll watch repeatedly, or that we might want to throw in to show a friend. I almost never buy a DVD without seeing the movie one way or another, because if I can't wait to rent it first, I'll see it in the theater. Netflix has cleaned up their act enough that I can usually see new releases within a week of their street date, and that's good enough for me.
