My DVD collection

Well, this is a bit of a story just to show a few DVD's but I'd like to share it with anyone who wants to read it.

The year is 1996 in Mexico city, I just got my first really well paid job and I went with my mother and my sister to Sears just to look around on a saturday afternoon and of course, I had to got to the electronics department. In there I saw a home theather with a big TV screen and playing Yanni Live at the Acropolis (It was 1996 so remember no plasma TV's or things you can get now) really loud and of course, I bought that day my first TV, DVD player, Surround sound system and a nice pier 1 chair to watch TV.

After that I started to collect DVD's and CD's and I got a fair collection of both (around 150 DVD's and 250 CD's at the time). One day a few years later, I got a call from my now ex-wife telling me someone broke into the apartment and took a bunch of stuff. When I got there, they took all my DVD's and CD's plus money and jewelry.

I got really sad about loosing my collection and i decided not to buy anymore CD's or DVD's ever and even the home theater room equipped with leather chairs, movie posters and a really nice system i spend so much time and money to setup, didn't do the trick for me to really enjoy collecting again.

Time passed and one day when i got back from work I found a little box wrapped with a bow and a card with the word " Cheer up". I opened the box and inside was the DVD that made me start collecting again and the reason for the pictures below.

Last count was 546 DVD's but i haven't updated the list in a few months so i'd say i have around 650 now without including the Blu-ray ones I buy when I really love a movie.

I'd say 60% of the movies i have are still sealed, if I like a movie I just buy it and store it, usually I see it again from Netflix or from Tivo.
