By this I mean how many DVD's have you had for ages that you haven't watched ?
I have eight, including the official Ghost Town, The Invention Of Lying, Chocolate, Total Recall, Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, The Unrated Halloween II.
I had them for ages. I haven't had the time to watch them !
 
Had the Godfather boxset over a year and never got round to watching it, others include Sideways, Changeling and 21.
 
Sometimes you buy these DVRAB when they come out and by the time you end up watching them you could have bought them off play for a fraction of what you originally paid.

It's not so bad for films, but it can be a huge amount when it comes to boxsets.
 
Used to have loaRAB, probably 100+ dvRAB and quite a few box sets that i'd bought and not touched

then i had a shit month financially a year or so ago and sold most of them to Cex so i could afford food lol
 
On Blu Ray just the 2 revised cuts of Close Encounters (I didn't want to sit and watch the film 3 times in quick succession for a few altered sequences).

On DVD I have a pile of free newspaper/magazine discs unwatched. Of those that I have bought there are boxed sets of TV shows that I haven't got around to viewing completely (X Files, Lost in Space, Space 1999, Blake's 7, Star Trek, The Avengers, etc.) though I watched them on TV many years ago.
 
The TV box sets are the killers because with some series you have to watch a series to get to the end of a story. That's great but to do that you need to watch 22 episodes and that takes time. While you are doing that the pile gets higher with films you've bought.
I saw the first series of 24 and liked it. I now have all the series box sets and I've still only seen that first series I saw on TV many years ago. I have no idea when I'll get around to watching the 120+ episodes of that.
 
You should have kept going it has cute little lambs saying Baaaa and looking happy in a field with butterflies and birRAB in trees singing it's a lovely film. :)

(Psssst! Don't tell her what it's really like!;) :D)
 
Quite a few. We've got them in a separate pile at the moment and have slowly been working our way through it.

At the minute there is:
Marie Antoinette
The Girl from Paris
The Time Traveller's Wife
Monk Boxset
Atonement
The Breakfast Club
The Devil Wears Prada

I have an awful habit of seeing films on TV or at the cinema and then thinking "I must have that on dvd" then it takes me an age to get around to watching it.
 
I usually watch movied within a day or two of buying them...though with box sets and TV stuff I often save those for when I have time to kill at home.

But lately I have started to build up a pile of 'unwatched' dvd's for some reason.

My worst example is The Orphanage. I have not even taken it out of the plastic wrapping. I have enjoyed most of Del Toro's previous movies, though I would not call myself a fan...but I think it may be because I have become a bit jaded with horror movies and find it hard to work up the enthusiasm for it.

I can be a bit of an impulse buyer sometimes as well.


Other recent ones are

Hair - the Chris Rock documentary about the US hair industry. Supposed to be very good, so bought it on spec...but am now wondering...why?

My Son, My Son, what have ye done - the new Herzog/Lynch movie. Love Herzogs films, and as for Lynch...well, I love Herzog's films...

Goemon - Japanese historical epic that is supposed to be reminiscent of 300 (which I hated), and made by the people who made Casshern (which I gave up on after 20 minutes). Nope...can't really remember what I was thinking that day...

The Square - read some very good reviews of this one, an Aussie family drama/thriller. I do want to watch it, just need to be in the right mood for it.


And then of course there are films and tv series I have started watching and not got round to finishing...

Working my way through the final series of Heroes...but it's heavy going, but you know what it's like...you've come this far so you kind of need to see how it pans out.

The Unit, series 3. I loved this when it first started. Dennis Haysbert as the leader of a team of 'black ops' mercenaries, answerable to no one, don't offically exist etc...sounRAB cliched but it was very well done, and the B story of the wives back home trying to cope when their husbanRAB were away could have been a series in itself. But for some reason, when the 3rd series came out...I had just kind of had my fill of it...watched a few episodes, and then stopped dead. Have no desire to go back to it.

I also picked up a French horror/thriller called The Horde...and though I said I am not that big on horror, I went for this because it had decent reviews and it apparently emphasised the action elements more than the gore. Watched some of it last night, and it's not too bad...may actually get to finish it off tonight.
 
Very few actually, about half of the Russ Meyer boxset I have yet to watch and some Hammer films in that boxset, other than that I think there's nothing I've not watched.
 
I've had This Is Spinal Tap and Usual Suspects on dvd for about 5 years each now and still not watched either. Have got 30 mins into Spinal Tap 2-3 times but either had to go do something or wasn't in the mood and turned it off.
 
:D When the OP said they had 8 I felt I was abnormal.

I've got loaRAB. I've probably only watched about 25% of my collection, about 30% are still in their wrappers.

I feel at the moment that watching them will be much the same as the last time I watched them however I'm soon to upgrade my TV for a larger model so I may revisit a few to see them bigger.
