Of course, since I rediscovered my love for movies, I had to start watching tons of different kinds of movies. After my superhero phase (which arguably still hasn't ended yet), I started watching sappy love movies. It started with The Notebook, then to A Walk to Remember, and just kept on going. Before I fully realized what was going on, I was also watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Time Traveler's Wife, About Time, The Vow, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and many more movies.
After my...I don't know what to call it...Chick Flick Phase(?), I moved on to some Disney movies including Maleficent and Frozen, and then I moved on to a Robin Williams phase which included Hook, Bicentennial Man, Mrs. Doubtfire (No regrets for dressing up as her/him), and Good Morning Vietnam.
After these phases I went back to focusing on superhero movies and got Captain America 2, Amazing Spiderman 2, X-men: Days of Future Past, and so much more. I just love being able to watch movies and so I get tons of movies to watch. I've seen most of my movies at least 3 times, and I somehow manage not to get bored of them.
Last time I counted (about 5 minutes ago), I have over 80 movies. Now, while I don't doubt that there are tons of people who have larger movie collections, but it's my own collection which I may or may not be obsessed with.
Here, let me show you a couple of pictures.

So yeah, that's just what I wanted to say about my movies.
I would say that your movie collection is pretty sizable. I'm not sure my whole family's is quite that many. Enjoy having more time to watch movies over break!
ReplyDeleteMovies Movies Movies Movies Movies! Eric, you got me right in the feels with this one. Movies make my world go round. When I was younger and Blockbuster's business wasn't doing so great my family was a valued client. They had a policy where if my sister or I rented he same movie 5 times they'd just let us bring it home! I've since grown out of those movies but let me say we have more VHS's in our house than you can probably find in a garage sale. But as I've gotten older I carry the same policy about movies, if I've rented it/ recorded it on my DVR more than 5 times then I need to go out and buy it. Christmas time is my favorite time of the year though because when all else fails, I have my list of movies that I've recorded/ rented 5 times and give it to my family. Over break I have the chance to watch my movies and get plenty more.
ReplyDeleteOh Eric, aren't movies the best? Never be ashamed!
Nice post! Movies are great, I love watching them! Last winter break I went on a Disney movie watching spree. Old favorites like Lion King 1 1/2, Shrek, and Ice Age kept my attention for hours on end. The frustrating thing is that no matter how many movies I watch, my to-watch list never seems to become shorter (currently Frozen and Tangled are at the top of that list).
ReplyDeleteYour post was really interesting, especially since I've never seen any "sappy love movies" as you describe. I wonder what they might be like. Like a tourist on safari wonders what being an elephant might be like.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite attached to my collection of movies as well, really: around 30 Disney VCs. That's right. Video cassettes. I'll have to say your collection is far larger, though!
