Page 1 of Movie Buff`s?!?!?!?

Was curoius as to how many of you think that you are a movie buff? and if you think you are why do you think you are? i never used to think i was i always had a lot of videos bout 250films before i got my dvd player and i thought that was alot. it must have taken me at least 10 years to get that many. But when i got my dvd player it took me 1 year and a half to get at last count 319 movies on dvd which im not sure weather that makes me a movie buff or just sad? lol. dont really care i love my movies! and whenever there is a film i want to see at da cinema i will see it wether its with mates, girlfriend, by myself or with family. if i want to see it i will see it!

So how many of you think you are buffs? and why?

PS can u tell me how many dvds you got i want to see who has da most? :)

think I can beat ya there, started collecting July 2001 after a fire that destroyed my vhs collection, with help from the insurance my collection now stands at 479 titles this includes stuff like Alien Legacy boxset which is 4 movies and 5 disks so I wouldn``t like to think how many disks/movies I have.
I don`t think of myself as a movie buff, more of a collecta-hollic, having said that I have watched every one some many times apart from a few I bought the last couple of weeks

I always thought being a Movie-buff was about your knowledge of film rather than your film collection.

I`m good on films post 1970, and very good on films post 1980, but before 1969 there is a big void in my mind about when films came out and what they were. I`ve seen plenty of older films, but I`m sure there are literally thousands that I haven`t seen, or even heard of.

As for my DVD collection, I have a few hundred, but I haven`t actually counted them.

Yeah, I guess I am self-confessed film buff. I have a vast knowledge of everything cinematic (although foreign and older cinema isn`t my strong point), get 2 film mags a month, surf the Net for mainly film/DVD-related things, own 175 DVDs and numerous VHS tapes (both pre-recorded and recorded).

I also am an amateur filmmaker, having made one film so far, with another in the pipeline (writing script this very moment). Life ambition? Film writer/director...

I used to think I was a movie buff until I watched the short-lived BBC quiz Film Buff of the Year aeons ago. Got bugger all questions right, so now I`m just a film fan. :)

i would not call my self a movie buff, but i remember a lot of useless facts about films, music and the like. not enough to contenplate making a fool of my self on a quiz show, but i usually know the film, actor, charator that someone is trying to describe.

how many discs? around 300. video`s, must be close to 1000 if not more (i have a very large loft, since my wife will not let me put endless shevles up), most not pre-recorded, with 2-4 films on, and yes i have duplicated films that i`d taped from tv/sky and then bought the video and since got on DVD.
