What's your current movie backlog?

You know, movies you purchased that you still haven't watched.  I buy so many of these damn things that I'll never get to all of them, it seems.  I had the backlog down to something like three movies at one point in December, then Christmas happened.  Now I have this stack of flicks and shows sitting here waiting to be watched.  It doesn't help that Wal-Mart likes to sell movies for $5, and that I cannot resist sticking my movie hungry mitts into the tower (it used to be a dump bin). 

Movies-
The Stendhal Syndrome'
Frontier(s)
Disturbia
Bless the Child
Final Destination 1 and 2
Saw 5
Boiler Room
Last Man Standing
Mirrors
The Devil's Advocate
Braveheart
Butterfly Effect 2
Diary of the Dead
Balls of Fury
Horrorlicious 9 movie pack (Gothic, The Devil's Nightmare, House on the Edge of the Park, Bloody Pit of Horror, Horrors of Spider Island, Sisters of Death, Terror Creatures From the Grave, The Night She Arose From the Tomb, and The Vampire's Niece). 

TV Shows/Box Sets
South Park season 4 (I'm more than halfway through it)
Shakugan no Shana season 1
Paranoia Agent complete series
My-HiME complete series

And the sad thing is that I'm thinking of going to Hastings today to get some in-store credit with movies I no longer want. 

I would post my game backlog, but that thing's way out of control.  Part of the reason I'm thinking of retiring from gaming...

Movies I've bought or acquired that I haven't watched yet:

THE ROAD WARRIOR
MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME
PHANTASM
SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW
TIME BANDITS
MALPERTUIS
JESUS AND HER GOSPEL OF YES
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: THE MOVIE
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER: VOLUME 12
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER: VOLUME XIV
Plus I have two more movies coming in the mail this week: NAKED LUNCH and THE REFLECTING SKIN
Also, the majority of the movies in my Mill Creek collections: HORROR CLASSICS, SCI-FI CLASSICS, and MARTIAL ARTS CLASSICS

Then, there are the 70 movies currently in my Netflix queue, plus the half-dozen movies I still want to check out on On Demand before they expire, and the 2 or 3 movies I want to catch in theaters before they're gone.

I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

I buy movies that I haven't seen, and movies I want to own, and I get movies as gifts a lot.  I've seen all these but haven't looked at my copies yet:
LADRI DI BICICLETTE (1948 aka BICYCLE THIEVES
THE FURIES (1950)
LITTLE FUGITIVE (1953)
LES QUATRE CENT COUPS (1959 aka THE 400 BLOWS)   
"MANOR HOUSE" 2002 BBC TV

Haven't really looked at (this was a gift):
I AM LEGEND
Haven't watched:
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA PRINCE CASPIAN 

The cue of low cost horror films is too numerous to mention; I like those sets with 4 or 8 discs. 

If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

I've got a big one.  I can't remember them all.  I own two of the 50 movie box sets...  One of them I've seen like 30 of the films, and the other like 5.  I doubt I'll ever watch ALL of the rest, some were really awful.

More significantly, I have Thunder Cops and Thunder Cops 2 (which is not a sequel to Thunder Cops, but is actually a sequel to Operation Pink Squad).  Also, 2000 AD and the Shootout.  All 3 are Hong Kong films I bought when they were on sale at dddhouse.com for like $2.

Sister Grace

I'll often rent a movie on NetFlix and if i really like it, then i'll purchase it, however i don't always get around to them right away. So far in my backlog i've got:

Hatchet
Art School Confidential (i haven't actually seen this yet, i got it for xmas and i've heard dreary things about it)
Choke
Lipstick

ONE EYED JACKS with Marlon Brando. I saw the begining...but it was late...and I fell asleep.
DR.ORLOFF and the INVISABLE MAN-I was about half through-and I was quite fasinated,Captain...but some young couple I know stopped over-so I had to shut the thing off to entertain them. (Entertain meant talk-I let the film play...but didn't watch the rest...as we was so busy yappin'.)
NINJA DESTROYER-Just aint had the time. (Yeah...lousy excuse-tiiiiiiime is on my side....yes it is!)

As of recently, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Wild Wild West have been added to the backlog.  Though I have been able to watch Street Fighter so it can be taken off my list.
