Mock me if you will...

... but this huge DVD collection has gotten me out of some tough scrapes. Actually, it's not really that big (though I am working at expanding it, I swear) - I just wanted to link to one of my favourite (and naturally, one of the most puerile) Onion articles: http://www.theonion.com/articles/mock-me-if-you-will-but-this-huge-cock-has-gotten,10688/

Anyway, 'joking' aside, the reason for this post was to list all the DVDs which I currently own (237 movies, plus 96 TV shows on boxset and 3 music/ sport DVDs), just in case there are any Bristol based burglars who read this blog and who want to acquire a relatively large collection of a media format which will be obsolete in a couple of years. Next week I will be posting a list of other valuables I have in my house, together with my PIN and mother's maiden name.

I don't think it's a bad collection, though there are a few films on there (i.e. Domino, Rocket Science, Eagle vs. Shark) which aren't really any good. I didn't build the collection in any sort of organised way; in fact as a true luddite at heart, I resisted buying any DVDs until VHS was pretty much completely dead. For a fairly long period of time (around 2004), I only owned one DVD, but it was a good one - Ed Wood. Then I started to buy DVDs in 'buy 5 for £30' offers from HMV and Virgin and so on - many of which I'd never seen before, which resulted in quite a few purchases of films which I now regret owning. These days I only tend to buy films I've seen before and know I really like.

Anyway, that's enough of a preamble. Here's that list in all its glory, and in alphabetical order:
