Title: MOVIES IN ALL FORMATS! Post by: macabre on November 17, 2010, 02:53:24 PM HI
I am an avid collector of horror movies in various formats, I have movies in vhs and betamax as well as super8mm/standard 8mm formats.I was wondering if any of you guys collect super/standard 8mm movies or perhaps you may just collect movies in a particular format, also roughly how many movies do you think you may have? Title: Re: MOVIES IN ALL FORMATS! Post by: retrorussell on November 19, 2010, 03:28:10 PM Right around 300 movies or so, a few blu-rays, mostly regular dvds, a bunch of vhs. Mostly movies of all genres, some tv series. 4 different shelves house them.

Post by: The Burgomaster on November 19, 2010, 03:43:16 PM Years ago, I had a pretty good collection of Super 8mm and Standard 8mm movies, some silent, but mostly sound. For the most part, they were either 200' or 400' versions, running between about 7 minutes and 18 minutes each. Here are some highlights:
* CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (400' / sound / 3-D) * IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (400' / sound / 3-D) * SLAPSHOT (400' / sound / color) * ANIMAL HOUSE (Two 400' reels for a running time of over 30 minutes / sound / color) * THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (200' / sound / B&W) * CHARLEY VARRICK (400' / sound / color) * THE DON IS DEAD (400' / sound / color) * MAN MADE MONSTER (200' / silent / B&W) Plus a bunch more. I sold them all on eBay several years ago. I sold or gave away all my VHS and Beta tapes. All I collect now are DVDs. I have more than 3,500 titles. Title: Re: MOVIES IN ALL FORMATS! Post by: Jack on November 19, 2010, 05:30:26 PM I think I've got around 250 - 300 DVD's and 8 Blu rays. And about the same number of VHS tapes, a lot of which I transferred to DVD+RW or DVD-RW. I've probably got 100 or so of those with two movies on each. I really should give away all those old tapes, they're just taking up space under the stairs in the basement. I think the vast majority of my movies are cheesy horror films, though there's some sci-fi and TV shows in there too. And a smattering of other stuff. I've also got 1 episode of Stargate SG-1 on the hard drive of my PS3 :teddyr: I wouldn't mind downloading some hi-def movies on the PS3, but the PlayStation store mostly has HD movies available to rent, but very few for purchase.
Title: Re: MOVIES IN ALL FORMATS! Post by: spongekryst on November 22, 2010, 01:10:38 PM I would have more movies if I didn't have to sell a chunk of them to pay off a dept. Still, I have about 200+ DVD's. I want to start collecting movies and tv shows that are only available on vhs, as I am a nostalgic person and love watching tapes, but cash is tight. I still have at least 30 of my vhs from my childhood and whatever I see at a goodwill that is rare, I buy it.
Title: Re: MOVIES IN ALL FORMATS! Post by: Jim H on November 23, 2010, 03:27:53 PM Well, I have Radioactive Dreams in VHS, PAL VHS, Betamax, LaserDisc and a bootleg DVD.
I also do still buy films on DVD, VHS and LaserDisc. Not too often in the latter two formats, but if I can get great deals I'm willing. Someday I'd like to get an 8mm and a 16mm projector so I can get a few things on film, but right now I have neither the money nor the space. |
