Yeah, 150 sounds about right. I'm not quite there yet, I have about 125 or so. However, if a 150 dvd collection is considered big, I wouldn't even know what to call someone's collection of 500- 1,000 dvds. The words "excessive" and "massive" come to mind.

Just for the hell of it I cruise around dvdaf sometimes and look at people's collections that are that big. I wonder how a.)someone could afford all those- b.)where they keep/display them-c.)and HOW they display them.

My friend had a collection of around 700 vhs that he traded for a Playstation 1.

I wasn't surprised when years later he was admitted into the psych ward at a hospital.

How do you browse people's collections? That would be a good way of seeing and then remembering films that I want.

Yeah, 150 sounds good as far as big goes.

I'm at #314, so give me about 3 years, I'll be about 500 by then.

Im a lil over 800 in. It just sort of started in '98 and just seems to get bigger every few weeks, Its taken over my entire room. And figuring out how to display them so that it looks good was very very tiresome. Oh well.

Just type in any name of a film and see who has it and then look through their entire collection.

I'm up to 894 now. Just bought T3 on Tuesday. Usually get about 4 a week.

I built shelves in a storage closet I have in my finished basement that holds all the DVD's and can hold about 400 more. Not sure what I'm going to do once the shelves are all used up.

Here is the link to my collection on DVDAF.

Currently hovering around 600+ dvds. It's been a while since I've done a thorough inventory.

I currently have about 260 dvds. I'd say that its decently sized, but its growing all of the time.
