I AGREE CHRISTMAS REALLY STOCKS UP ON THE COLLECTION,BUT FEBUARY IS A NICE MONTH TO CATCH UP

[Flash Ahhh]

Wow,

I have a ton of unwatched disks. I buy them faster than I can watch them. This would be a long list.

So I'll just confess here. I have a lot of unwatched DVD's. A lot.

-Flash

[grocible]

It's probably pretty close to 40% of my collection I haven't watched.

Guilty of buying movies on the day they are released, only to file them on my shelves.

[manigrasso]

Damn those pre-order prices!

I buy some things because I'll know I'll want to watch them SOMEDAY, like Citizen Kane & Casablanca (the latter I watched this week). Even stuff I've seen before, like CK, I just want to have as part of my collection. And of course, sometimes it's hard to pass up a bargain. After holding off on the ridiculously expensice discs of Monty Python's Flying Circus, when the entire series came out in a box set, I was able to pick it up with pre-ordered, with a coupon for like 110 bucks and that included shipping. That was worth it for me. Not to mention that "All Troma DVDs for a quarter" sale they did a few summers ago. I've only watched a handful of those.

[Marty McFly]

I really don't have any unwatched DVDs. As soon as I get a disc in the mail or I get home from the store with one I pop it in my player.

That's pretty much the same for me too.
I have some bonus features that I have yet to check out:
Tron
Atlantis (Collector's Edition)
and plenty of commentaries, but all of my movies have been viewed (then again, I only own 83)

[MARVEL]

The Peanuts Holiday Collection: I got them for Christmas and it's kinda pointless to watch them after the fact.
Seven: Platinum Ed.: I've had this since it was released. I think it's a cool movie but I've only seen it once ever and can't bring myself to watch it again for the simple fact that NOBODY would cut Gwyneth Paltrow's head off and put it in a box! But I had to have the movie in my collection.

[orko007]

THE GREEN MILE (purchased near on a yr ago - too sad)
12 MONKEYS
HALLOWEEN 2
HALLOWEEN 4
HALLOWEEN 5
HALLOWEEN 6
THE WHOLE PLANET OF THE APES BOX SET
BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

I think that is all.. and I thought it was worse

[dvds'r'us]

ME, I buy them faster than I watch them. I like to have a variety of movies to choose from, and it also depends what kind of mood i'm in at the time, so alot of movies don't interest me 'til alot later. Just watched The Mexican of which I bought sight unseen about 6 months ago, and well I wish I would've watched it earlier. I just kept refusing to watch it, dunno why?

Ayup.

It's that damn road out there, Louis, uses up alot of animals

Orinco

[IKEA_boy]

none

[Dudley]

Traffic... Been meaning to get around to it, but just have never been the mood to watch it. And any time i am i nhte mood, the roomates are watching tv so i can't very well tell them to get lost (well i could, but it wouldn't be nice and i doubt it would work)

oh well, someday..

Strange thing is its like the first dvd i bought

[BubbleGumUK]

I'm like Flash Ahhh...I buy 'em quicker than I can watch 'em!

My list would be too long also, but among the discs I haven't even opened from the shrink-wrap yet are...

All four Disney Treasures
Moulin Rouge
Spartacus
Apocalypse Now Redux
Brazil box set (a crime, I know!)
both Bill and Ted's...
Mask of Zorro SE
Chocolat
Tomb Raider
Glitter (not so much of a crime, I know!)

There are around 30-50 that I have opened and just gone through the menus, but not watched (maybe some of the supplemental, but not all). This w/end I'm going through the TRON and ATLANTIS sets, the rest of SHREK. I'm still trying to tie down a night or two every week to at leaast get through a title a day!

[run1]

I've recently played 'catch up', so it's really not that many.

Three Colours Red: It's the only one in the trilogy I've got yet, and it's the last one. I'll wait untill I've bought White and Blue.

Bamboozled: I think I'll see this one tonight

Pecker
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

[marty]

I bought Jaws 4 as a joke, that one won't be watched.

I've also been working through the Monthy Python boxed set, it takes awhile to go through 14 disks of Python.

Apart from those I have a few I bought this week or last week.

I'd like to see pdjennings' list

[Ashenden]

I have a backlog right now of around 25 movies (out of 250 or so) I used to buy a lot of movies and would not have time to watch them. At the moment I only buy the ones I really need (need as in "I gotta have it") but the backlog is still there......

[mrkeeling]

Watched them all – at least movies.
With bonus features it is a completely different story. Watched only a few. But I am not a bonus feature guy and that is the main reason why. Considering how “big” my collection is, time is obviously not an issue.

[Sid]

Absolutely none

I feel bad if I buy a disc and dont watch all of the special features, so I hae to watch the movie. I've never understood the point of people buying movies they dont like/wont watch. Unless its part of a boxed set. You know, like who actually bought Die Hard 2 alone

[Keith]

I agree w/Sid. The ONLY DVD's I buy are movies I KNOW I enjoy and will re watch them. I also watch my new purchases w/in a day of opening them.

[smurdleman2000]

I have two I have yet to see:

Krakatoa: East of Java
The Killing (Kubrick)

The movie I've had the longest (so far, Krakatoa might beat it) without watching was David Cronenberg's Crash, but that was only like two weeks. I was busy. I normally watch my discs as soon as they arrive.

[Kenshiro 26]

Most of my discs i've wathed the feature at least once through. But the bulk of the extras I haven't even delved into. And probably won't until I have some debilatating accident, and am house bound for a couple months.

[Newagegunn]

I still haven't watched Nightmare on Elm Street 2 or 3 in the box set, and I haven't tried out the Nighmare Extras disc. Pretty bad since I bought it like a year ago, huh?

[Sorcerer]

I got quite a few DVDs for Christmas and around that season, but wasn't able to watch most of them because I didn't find the time (and had to go back to Cambridge to finish my Junior Year Abroad).

So, collecting dust, I've got-

THE NEVERENDING STORY
The BRAZIL box set
DEAD RINGERS
LOGAN'S RUN
THE BEST OF THE ORIGINAL AVENGERS

[The Riddler]

OMG...so I'm NOT the only one (Thank God). My wifey thinks I should get therapy for buying DVDs & leaving them on the shelf...which explains my recent slow down on DVDs. the last two I bought I haven't even watched yet, which were...

Tombstone: Vista
American Pie 2 (though I saw the special features)

Others I haven't watched (what a friggin' shame too...some of these are OLD):

Final Fantasy: SE
Willow: SE
Fast & The Furious (U won't believe how much heat I got for not watching this one from family/friends)
Braveheart
Excalibur
Diamonds Are Forever: SE
The Living Daylights: SE
Ladyhawke
Mortal Kombat I & II
Rush Hour 2
Superman I-IV (Yeah, I bought the collection to take up shelf space...geez)
Make Mine Music
Melody Time
Fantasia
Godfather I-III (See 'Superman' comment above)
Rear Window: SE
EDTV: CE
54
Basic Instinct
City Of Angels: SE
Hannibal: SE
Misery
Rasputin: The Mad Monk (Got it for $2.99 at Suncoast...basically there to hold up that shelf if it ever topples)
Christine
Tenebre
The Fly/The Fly 2
House/House 2
The Johnsons (See 'Rasputin' comment above)
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Carrie
Rage: Carrie 2
Predator - DTS
Star Wars: Phantom Menace (Saw ALL of the special features, but not the movie itself....can U believe that?!?!?!)

With the exception of A.I. in March, I'm done with DVDs for a while....look how much I have to catch up with!

[Morticia]

Hard to sound like a broken record here.....I'm glad I'm not the only one to buy DVDs but not get around to watching them!

Sometimes, like with the "Twin Peaks Season 1" I couldn't wait to sit down and see. Others, I have to wait awhile.

I haven't really counted how many I have (do you count individual Farscape episodes, how do you count a box set, etc. etc.?) but out of say, 100, I bet I've seen about 60 of em. Give or take 10 on either count.

Sad. Especially since I have an uncracked Ben Hur, Rebecca (CC), North by Northwest, The Rock (CC), Superman, and Shadow of the Vampire.

What the heck am I waiting for??

[loner]

The same thing I'm waiting for to watch Tron again.
More time.

[synapse]

There are a few I have that I haven't had time to watch. I've curbed my DVD spending a little bit lately (lack of new titles I want) so hopefully I'll be able to catch up on the unwatched movies.

I'd say there are about 20 I haven't watched.

And I'm waiting to get the Twin Peaks pilot (blasted Amazon :rar: ) before I watch the rest of the series.

[Morticia]

Hey synapse:

They (amazon) keep moving my ship date back. I ordered the pilot episode Jan 9 and now they say March for a ship date.

My advice: go ahead and watch the series. What happened in the pilot is explained in the booklet. The pilot is really the 'simplest' episode, compared to later episodes! And look at it this way -- by the time the pilot's shipped, you'll be ready to watch Season 1 again. All the better to enjoy the crisp transfer twice!

Believe me, I will be.....

[mtcarmel00]

I've watched parts of Snow White and Lady and the Tramp but not all of either. I haven't even put Good Will Hunting in my player yet. So thats 3 out of 68.

gee- with only about 20-25 DVDs sitting in my Need To Watch pile, it looks like I'm doing pretty good comparitively...

So I'll just confess here. I have a lot of unwatched DVD's. A lot.

-Flash

Same here. Probably have as many unwatched as watched. I never am stuck without something I can watch for the first time. I love that.

[Toefur]

Too many to list. Sadly out of 500 + DVDs I have a large percentage of unwatched ones. I used to tear the shrink wrap off of them when I got them home but about a year and a half ago I started to forget which ones I had or hadn't watched. So now I leave the shrink wrap on them until I watch them. It seems to be a pretty good system.

One of these months I'm going to just have to sit down and play catch up. Its going to take a while though.

[SeanL]

I don't think I've got that many, let's see....

Tombstone: Vista
Star Trek: TMP DC
Snow White
Courage under Fire


Yeah, that's not too many.

[Disco Stu]

Yeah, I ordered the pilot around the same time you did, and I've gotten a couple emails informing me that the shipping date has slipped for one reason or another.

I'm thinking about watching the series before I receive the pilot, but since I've got so many other unwatched DVDs, I'll probably just end up waiting. It's been over 10 years since I last saw the show; I can wait a couple weeks more.

Edit: Well, I just got an email from Amazon saying they just shipped my copy of the Pilot, so it looks like I won't have to wait much longer.

Hopefully you'll get yours soonly Morticia

[Morticia]

Synapse:

Our emails musta been sent at the same time....came over JUST NOW as I was browsing the Forum.

Woo Hoo!
In a week, I'm baking a pie and brewing a damn fine cuppa coffee.
