WIHMOH part 1 : Movies/TV Shows Collection

I'm going to start my own "When I Have My Own Home" segment in this blog. To make things short, it'll just be called "WIHMOH". This will feature things/ideas I'd like to "implement" in my house...when I do get a place of my own. As in really my own, not a rented room or someone else's house (e.g. parents' home).

First up will be my collection of movies and TV shows, as I'm a *ahem* mass media enthusiast *cough**cough*couch*cough*potato**cough**cough*. I have some box sets or DVDs already in my possession now. But they are seriously all over the place. Firstly, I'm not the most organised of people and my stuff tends to either get lost in my mess or I forget where I put something because I neglected to put it with the rest of the similar stuff. Though I have a compulsion to rearrange CDs/DVDs in their rightful alphabetical order in the shop shelves - which I sometimes do actually rearrange...a disorganised person with an obsessive compulsive behaviour to organise shelf displays...wonderful.

There is a question though, of how long DVDs will last. The format is still going strong now, as with music CDs, and DVDs are definitely more compact than the ill-fated Laser Discs. Blu-Ray is still in its infancy. So I hope DVDs will still be the dominant format for movies and TV shows by the time I get round to having my own home...wherever that might be.

So here's what I'd (ideally/eventually) must have on my "entertainment shelf" for movies and TV shows...there'll be a separate one for video games and another for booka (I'm going to need one helluva shelf since these are just the "must haves") :

[X] Gone In 60 Seconds (2000) ***
[ ] Mystery Men
[ ] Dead Poets Society
[X] Mr Holland's Opus
[ ] Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy boxset
[ ] Harry Potter (the whole lot...methinks it'll be 8 in total) boxset

* Due to recent developments and actual completion of Indy 4, this boxset's technically been screwed up...dammit
** Due to George Lucas' very capitalist business plans which involve re-releasing Star Wars as re-done "Special Edition" and then the re-release of the originals as a "Limited Edition" and the obvious eventual re-release of a final(?) complete 6-part Star Wars saga boxset, this plan will eventually evolve to my wanting a full 6-part boxset (because anyone who knows me knows I'm a big Star Wars geek)...but I'm still keeping the 3 "Limited Edition" DVDs with the original trilogy.
*** Note to self : These ones are not physically in your possession at the moment. Possibly lost.
