I haven't counted, so this is just a rough estimate of mine:
30% horror/sci-fi/suspense
30% action/western/war
20% drama
15% comedy
5% music/musicals
50% horror
30% action
10% comedy
10% music and misc.
I'm waiting for someone to submit a list that doesn't add up to 100%.
If it adds up to more than 100%, it means the person made an adding mistake.
If it adds up to less than 100%, it means that the missing percentage is porno films and the person doesn't want to admit it.
I'd say 80 - 90% horror/SF (hey, that encompases a lot of stuff)
10% music and/or comedy
Brother R
I'd say I have about 90% horror/ sci-fi and maybe 10% music related videos.
I guess I should have added a separate category for movies like TEENAGE GANG DEBS, THE VIOLENT YEARS, GIRL GANG and other drive-in trash. I lumped them in with my "30% action" category, but they really deserve their own category.
I asked someone here at work to set up a really great-looking database for my movies. She's really good at inventing databases and she said she would try to do it when she is on maternity leave. Then I can sort them by different categories and get the real percentages. (You must be saying, "Doesn't he have anything better to do with his miserable life?")
The Blair Witch Project 2:Book Of Shadows
Unbreakable
Spider-Man
The Matrix
50% horror
40% indie films
10% music related
Without wasting everyone's time by sitting down and putting them into piles...
85% crap (or so others tell me) that few people have heard of (e.g. most stuff I write about and a lot of cult stuff.)
10% crap (or so others tell me) that is popular (e.g. Shrek, Twister, Galaxy Quest)
03% good stuff (or so I've been told) that I don't like (e.g. Best in Show, A Beautiful Mind, Usual Suspects)
02% good stuff (or so I've been told) that I actually do like (e.g. Spirited Away, Citizen Kane, Amelie)

love colleen
I also own two tapes with porn taped on them.
I'm sure I'd get a lot of flak for my collection, but hey, it is what it is. Here goes:
90% Action
5% Horror
3% Drama, or stuff like Goodfellas, Glengarry Glenn Ross, Donnie Brasco, Memento, etc.
2% Comedy
Action definitely dominates my collection. Sometimes (well, most of the time) you just need a good explosion or gunfight in a movie.

DVD: 80% war flicks, 10% Horror, 10% Japanese animation.
VHS: 60% Thrillers, 20% Action, 15% Horror & Sci-fi 5% Hong-Kong softcore.
Since I'm laid up with a broken leg today, I'm bored enough to answer this.
245 vhs + 829 dvd = 829 films
Action = 34 = 4%
Animation (from anime to dizknee) = 25 = 3%
Comedy = 210 = 25%
Documentary = 25 = 3%
Drama = 89 = 11 %
Horror = 260 = 31%
Kung fu = 30 = 4%
Music = 9 = 1%
Musical = 10 = 1%
Suspense = 43 = 5%
Scifi/Fantasy = 91 = 11%
Western = 19 = 2%
I'm a geek.
I hardly own any pre-recorded tapes. I mean other than porn. :)

Will, I am a CPA and I DEMAND to see your accounting records! I suspect there could be some federal prison time in store for you, because 245 + 829 = 1,074. Did you work for Enron or Andersen??????
Wow, I am a fool! How many typos can I get into one post. How hopped up on medication can I be? Who knows?
Well, the 101% is just a result of rounding, so that explains that.
The actual movie tally should read:
600 vhs + 245 dvd = 845 films.
35% horror/suspense
35% action
15% drama
10%sci-fi
5% comedy
