http://empirenews.net/man-with-worlds-largest-dvd-collection-cant-find-a-thing-to-watch/
I haven't counted, but I must have under 300 titles all told. For some reason, I take more pleasure in owning my favorite old TV series than any movie. TV is more intimately wrapped up with childhood memories, apparently. But a lot of my must-have titles are films, for sure.
I've racked up more DVDs and Blu-rays than I can watch at present. I'm like a squirrel saving up acorns. When I retire and have tons of time on my hands, I'll be hitting those shelves.
Is that about where you are? I'm sure I'm one type of collector and there are others. But I definitely like owning a copy rather than streaming it. Even during the VHS era, I bought them, never rented.

Oh dear, I have a LOT of TV box sets, DVDs:
The Saint, complete b/w seasons (a big box)
The Outer Limits 1&2
Callan the colour episodes
Have Gun Will Travel S1
The Man From UNCLE S1&2
Wagon Train S1&2
The Adventures Of Robin Hood S3 (that's the old Richard Green stuff)
Department S
Dream On S1&2
& so many more, plus a shedload of American comedy series (including the complete Larry Sanders Show)
Blu-rays:
4x shows that I haven't seen (yet) Spartacus (complete), Black Sails S1-3, Fargo S1 & Deadwood complete
Californication complete (from Germany)
Batman
The Twilight Zone complete
Star Trek complete (original & TNG)
House (that big box)
Rome
Game Of Thrones
Band Of Brothers
The Pacific
The Sweeney S1
The Prisoner
The Avengers S1-3
Bones (complete when I buy the last two series) a mix of DVD & Blu-ray, I love this show
...& so many more.
My excuse is that a lot of these box sets didn't cost me anymore that a single CD soundtrack release (& some less), & I hardly buy any soundtracks these days, & I have to spend my spare cash on something besides booze & chocolate. And of course a lot of movies, mostly on Blu-ray these days (I've become a complete HD snob), a lot of them are from my two favourite film decades, 50s & 60s.
The thing is, I live alone, I'm retired, & even I don't have the time to watch this lot, so how anyone with something like a busy life can keep up with it, I don't know. But it is enjoyable just owning all this stuff.

Adam, why no Twilight Zone? This series is what blu-ray was made for.
I've been thinking about upgrading The Twilight Zone. I have 19 episodes on the original DVD run, including most of my favorites. These old DVDs were made during the CRT era, but still look really good as upscaled on the Blu-ray player and flat screen TV. (That's an advantage vintage TV has over films, on the oldest DVDs: you never run into a non-anamorphic widescreen image that's been boxed into the center of the screen like a postage stamp.)
Right now, The Twilight Zone is about $50 on DVD versus $70 on BD. I haven't decided what to do. You're saying the BD is bedazzling?
