So, I keep a running list of DVDs to buy when possible/when I feel like buying DVDs/when we walk by a display and see they aren't that expensive.
I tend to assume that everyone is like me, at least if they are inveterate consumers of media and don't always, immediately, buy everything they want. I'd be interested to see anyone else's lists like this. Which is funny, because before I met my boo the only TV shows I'd admit at gunpoint were good would have been Star Trek, The West Wing, and Due South, and The West Wing would never have made a list of things to own, while you couldn't convince me to watch tv on a daily basis for anything less than Original Series K/S, not even TNG. I guess even someone with a short attention span and a 100x preference for the written word can become somewhat accustomed (addicted?) to moving pictures on the screen.
Marie Antoinette
Stardust
Enchanted (only because it's not out on DVD)
HP & the OOTP
POTC 3
The Princess Bride
The Addams Family
Labyrinth
Lady & the Tramp
Last year's ITV Northanger Abbey
Last year's ITV Persuasion
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Emma (with Gwyneth Paltrow)
Sense & Sensibility (with Emma Thompson)
Ratatouille
Clueless
Love Actually
