As countless movie fans can also attest to, I have a pretty decent sized movie collection. As a matter of fact, I’m not ashamed to admit that my DVD collection is one of my pride and joys. When someone comes over and visits my place, one of the first things they will notice are my DVDs prominently displayed in the living room (always in alphabetical order by the way J). And I am also one of those people that wants the real movie in the box. Although I do have a few burned movies, I would estimate 98% of the DVDs I own are the real deal.
Because I’m a bit of a dork, one of the nagging problems I spent many a sleepless night trying to solve (well, not really but it did bother me J ) was how to indentify the movies that are the best of the best, so that someone browsing my collection would immediately be able to know which films I personally love the most.
Enter Blu-ray…about a year ago I decided it was time to upgrade to a Blu-ray DVD player. As I was trying to decide which movies I would either purchase or upgrade to Blu-ray, it suddenly hit me. “I can’t afford to upgrade my entire collection, so why not use Blu-ray to solve my problem of identifying my all-time great movies.” The more I mulled over the idea, the more it became an exciting challenge. I would use this new Blu-ray format to identify my…Hall of Fame movies.
A year or so later, I can say that there are still decent number of films that I haven’t yet had the ability to upgrade to Blu-ray. Some due to the cost factor, while more frustratingly, others because they have not yet been offered in the Blu-ray format. I look forward to the day when I can say that all of my “Hall of Fame” movies have rightfully been honored and are all on full Blu-ray display in my DVD collection!
