How many criterions do you own?

Going off the top of my head, I can think of 27 from the Criterion collection so far.

How many silent films do you own?

Not many, I can think of about 6.

Biggest box set (in terms of amount of discs)?

For film it's my treasured Ingmar Bergman collection, it has 30 discs:



But the largest in my collection is a television box set of The X-Files, it has 61 discs in the complete collection:




Favorite DVD (not movie, but the DVD itself)?

The above Ingmar Bergman collection.

I only have 2 criterions currently, and I'm not a fan of box sets unfortunately. Because for some reason I'd rather have the single discs, so I end up shelling out more than I should have to.

1. Least favorite movie in your collection and your rating?
The Human Centipede (2/5)

2. Oldest movie?
Alice In Wonderland (1933)

3. Most recent movie?
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (released June 12, 2012)

4. Director with most movies?
Steven Spielberg.

5. Do you buy movies you haven't seen?
I get them from Netflix, and if I like what I watch I go out and buy them.

6. If you have 20 movies how many are foreign?
I don't like foreign movies, my parents love them and i've sat through several of them, but they are not my cup of tea. I like a few Russian movies, but that is it.

What Russian films do you like?

I liked Kin-dza-dza, Little Vera, and Come and See.

I find it strange for someone who 'doesn't like foreign films', goes on to name that they enjoyed three Russian films(of all the foreign mainstream films out there, you name three Russian films)... what is the difference, why did you like them so much but say foreign films are not your cup of tea?

I can't speak for him but because he is Russian he can most likely understand Russian so for him Russian movies aren't much different than english ones. I think the subtitles is what he doesn't like

Ah, didn't know he was Russian... so really they are not 'foreign'.

Ah, you caught me! They're foreign to you, so hey, that counts! I'm just not a big fan of reading my movies.

Least favorite movie in your collection and your rating: Batman and Robin (1/10)
Oldest movie: Citizen Kane (1942 if I'm not mistaken)
Most recent movie: Chronicle
Director with most movies: I haven't counting but I'd say Scorsese and Spielberg
Do you buy movies you haven't seen: Never...why would I?
If you have 20 movies how many are foreign: Again I haven't counted but just off the top of my head Red Cliff, Crouching Tiger, IP Man, Hero, Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, Let the Right One In, Pan's Labyrinth.

Least favorite movie in your collection and your rating?

Armageddon - 2/5

Oldest movie?

Les Vampires

Most recent movie?

I seriously have no clue since I don't usually buy brand new movies, but I will be getting Cabin In The Woods soon. Maybe if Community season 2 counts?

Director with most movies?

Probably...Bergman or Kubrick, might be tied.

Do you buy movies you haven't seen?

Yes indeed because I have a pretty trustworthy intuition. Some of my favorite dvds are blind buys.

If you have 20 movies how many are foreign?

Estimate: Let's see, criterions, take out the english, somewhere around 120, now including the other foreign films...close to 180 I'm guessing.

140

How many silent films do you own?

Biggest box set (in terms of amount of discs)?

Most of my box sets are 4 discs..

Favorite DVD (not movie, but the DVD itself)?

It's between my Hiroshi Teshigahara box (Pitfall, Woman in the Dunes, Face of Another) and my Wild China documentary

Oh wow... didn't see the new questions.


How many criterions do you own?
0... EDIT... 1... Armageddon. But it doesn't really count because it's poop. So, erm, 0.

0

Biggest box set (in terms of amount of discs)?
Rocky. 6 films, 6 discs.

Favorite DVD (not movie, but the DVD itself)?
Alien 3 Definitive Edition Steel Box, 10 hours of features including both versions of the film.
Next Fave would be Carpenter's The Thing and then the card sleeved Predator, both with tons of features.

Do you buy movies you haven't seen?
Of course. I wouldn't have seen half the films I have if I didn't "blind" buy.
If you have 20 movies how many are foreign?
12 or so, I would say. At least at this current moment in time.
How many criterions do you own?
18, was the last count with a couple already in the post.
How many silent films do you own?
Not very many at all to be perfectly honest. I'd say 10, but couldn't be definitive.
Biggest box set (in terms of amount of discs)?
The West Wing box set. 44 discs.
Favorite DVD (not movie, but the DVD itself)?
The first to spring to mind is the Blade Runner suitcase that came out a couple years ago. Both in terms of extras and the cases themselves.

Does that count as a film? Is it not seperate episodes?

Wha?!?! Do you hate Verhoeven or something?
