ON MOVIES ~ Show Us Your...Collection...

Feature Presentation...

MONDAY MOVIE MEME

Molly looked around for a weekly meme about movies and did not have any luck. So therefore she decided to start her own! Andy will play along as well - hopefully you will too. Go to your blog and create your own post on the topic, linking back to us in your post, then come back and leave a link to your post here in our Comments section. If you don’t have a blog, just share your response in the Comments section.

This week's movie topic is all about Your Collection...

Last week, we asked you about how you watch movies. Quite a few of you shared how you watch from your own collection. So now we would like a glimpse into your collection of movies. Even if you don't have a physical collection to share, you must have some stored on the DVR, downloaded onto the laptop or ones that you rent over and over and over. We'll show you ours if you show us yours! Don't be shy - share on your blog and link back here at The Bumbles.

MOST VIEWED: Super Bowl XXXVI Champions - New England Patriots - OK, so technically this isn't a movie. But it is the most viewed DVD in our collection. We were so excited for the Patriots to win their first Super Bowl back in the winter of 2002, the underdog upset, the patriotic imagery after 9/11, the last second victory, the Cinderella emergence of future stud Tom Brady. But the real reason this is the most viewed is because shortly after we bought it, our DVD player went on the fritz and this was the ONLY one that it would play - without fail - every time. Our DVD player may have sucked, but at least it knew a good thing when it saw it.

NEVER VIEWED: Beerfest - Can you blame us? Someone actually gave this to us - most definitely an illegal bootleg copy. We might as well make this disk into a coaster - although now that we've mentioned it I'm afraid Andy is going to dig it out. We also have a very large collection of Best Picture Oscar winning movies that are all on VHS, half of which we never got around to watching before technology went and changed on us.

AFRAID TO ADMIT YOU OWN: Uh - that would also be Beerfest.

GUILTY PLEASURE: Fast Times At Ridgemont High on DVD. From that dusty pile of VHS movies we have a boatload that would fit well in this category. Like Fletch or Revenge of the Nerds for example.

MOST SHARED: The 40 Year Old Virgin - We have introduced this movie to more people than any other in our collection. We have talked about it ad nauseum, given it as a gift, brought it along on ski trips with friends, and loaned it out - in fact, I don't think it's been returned! Gotta work on that.

WHY DID WE BUY THIS?: Used Cars. I hated that movie. Andy brought it home one day and told me it was a classic. It was such a classic in fact that he fell asleep when he popped it in for me to watch for the first time. Maybe that's why he doesn't realize it really isn't as good as he remembers.

MOST TREASURED: Monty Python and The Holy Grail - Andy bought me the Collector's Edition Box one year for my birthday. Not only does it allow us to watch absurdity at it's finest whenever we want, but it has a booklet with the full screenplay and a little sliver of a still from the film that they claim is an extra super special limited edition Senitype. Whatever it is, it looks cool. I can hold all of the Knights of the Round Table, and their trusty servant Patsy, in the palm of my hand.

WILDCARD: Here's a chance to spotlight anything you want from your collection. You might be under the impression that all we own are comedies. Well actually, that's pretty much it - other than the sports and music ones. So without further ado, I give you another great comedy selection from our collection...Diner. I spent many nights in college watching this movie, quoting this movie, laughing over this movie. I hardly watch it any more, but I like knowing that I can whenever I need a stroll down memory lane. It's like an old friend.
