DVD: The V stands for “very”

Dude. Tell me about it.

I’ve not done much with my DVD collection as of late. It goes in spurts. There are several different sets I’m trying to complete, and since my last spurt, several have come out which bring me one step closer to completion.

The first set would be all the films to have won the Oscar for Best Picture. The DVD’s that are out currently that I don’t have are:

~~2003 Chicago~~
1942 Mrs. Miniver
1938 You Can’t Take it With You
1936 The Great Ziegfeld
1935 Mutiny on the Bounty

Best Picture winners that haven’t been released are:

1993 Shinlder’s List
1956 Around the World in 80 Days
1952 The Greatest Show on Earth
1937 The Life of Emile Zola
1933 Cavalcade
1931 Cimarron
1929 Broadway Melody
1928 Wings

The other big set I’m working on is the AFI Top 100 list. Released DVD’s I still need:

#73 WUTHERING HEIGHTS (1939)
#82 GIANT (1956)
#85 DUCK SOUP (1933)
#86 MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1935)
#100 YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942)

The unreleased AFI Top 100 are:

#9 SCHINDLER’S LIST (1993)
#15 STAR WARS (1977)
#17 THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1951)
#21 THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1940)
#43 KING KONG (1933)
#90 THE JAZZ SINGER (1927)
#97 BRINGING UP BABY (1938)

I know its really anal to keep these sort of lists, but its what I do. I even have one of the IMDB Top 100, but its hard to keep upto date because it changes all the time.
