I was about the age of 2 when I was taken to see Oliver & Company from Walt Disney. Thou I don't remember the film and how could I, being two I don't remember much. Still if I would have know what was going to happened I would have made that my first dvd purchase.

The first film that I bought was most likely something that I though was amazing and really was just good. It's not like now. Now I take my time with which films I see in the theater or on dvd, depenting on the release of the film. Not saying that very film I see is amazing and worth your money to see or was worth m money, but I try to get what I can argue as a great film. Unless I start off by saying I really just like the film, I know its bad, but I just like it.

A film that I like and know is bad is the film "The 'burbs". Not Tom Hanks best or and of the casts best film. I just like how stupid funny the film is and I laugh at all the bad jokes, and silly situations they get into. Don't see this film thinking, that Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Cory Feldmen are going to blow your socks off. Just see it if you want to laugh regardless of the bad jokes.

There were plenty of great films that I own that I picked out and it took me some time to get. Se7en in the black case with the composition book that houses the two dvds was the only version of the film I wanted. I also was picked with Star Wars and only wanted the original trilogy, which I got the dvd with both versions of all three films. The Godfather was a trilogy I wanted and was not expecting to get right after mentioning it to me family as a gift. But my family stopped in to visit and celebrate and that was when I got the trilogy on dvd in the black case. When I saw "No Country for Old Men" in college on campus I was sold on the film. I didn't care with dvd version I got just as long as it was wide-screen. Didn't care for the extra stuff added in the special dvd. One film that I received that took about a year or two to get was Platoon. My dad and I watched it one day and he told me that he was trying to buy it for me after Christmas one year. He just could not find it anywhere to buy it. This is before we started buying things online, which is where we now buy most of the harder to find movies and tv shows. Still one holiday or b-day in the future I removed the gift wrap and there was Platoon on dvd.

Other ways I picked films up was from trailers, catching it on tv after the opening, or friends who watched a film that was in theaters at the time but no where near me or them. I picked up the indie film "Black Sheep" because of the trailer. It is every independent and not amazing in the normal meaning. I picked up "Serenity" from I believe a free HBO weekend and fell in love with that film. The writing was amazing, funny, and different. I picked up Juno because of my girlfriend watching it on her computer. I wentto Target and picked up the dvd with the small script of the whole film.

Films are a passion for me. I love to watch movies, almost any genera with the exception on certain horror films. I watch films over and over and remember lines. I will watch a documentary film if it is on something I find interesting or I'll watch a foreign film if I think I may enjoy it. Like Amelie or Paris, Je T'Aime, or Pan's Labyrinth.

I even have some oddball films like Haggard or Hotdog Casserole. Both were made in Pennsylvania, not sure of how avalible the films are thou. There is the performances of The Blue Man Group, Blast, the stand-up of Carlos Mancia, Lewis Black, and the Christmas specials of SNL.

So I own a large number of dvds which must be hitting 200 if its not over that yet. I don't expect on stopping anytime soon. I just have one problem and that is storage for all of them right now.
