hehhe..yah, i keep them in those storage ring binders like jim :) mine only hold like 240 each, so i got like a dozen of them stacked up, my wife got them for me too, dunno where, somewhere local~
the rest i have a room in my house dedicated to home theater/media..3 of the 4 walls i have built shelving to store all the ones w/ cases, each of the shelves holds approx 500 dvds or so.
i am not going to expand onto the 4th wall, as that is where the door is...not gonna line the door w/ dvds~ that's just a little too much, even for one as excessive as myself~ :)

looks good romero, much like mine, but w/ dvds, as i only have a handful of vhs at this time~ :)
my room is not nearly as neat as yours, my computer area is a mess as is the sound proofing foam i have on my walls, parts of it are coming off and i need to get it fixed~ :P maybe once it's all repaired and fixed, i will post up some pics of my collection and home theater room for all to see~ but right now, it's far too messy and cluttered, it would be an embarassment to me, as i find joy in perfection~ :)
good day to you all.

hey why dont we all take pics of our collection and show it here --that way we sorta have some proof
also i have 482 movies total in my collecton--but the dvd's after you buy them have the huge case---so i started puting them in slim cases to save room in my house-------original movies--i buy like 4 a month--cheap bins or used etc...
i do the same with games---ps1-total=118---ps2 total=86
i get stuff wherever there is a bargain--i will post a pic if someone shows me how to on the post
also you all keep asking about getting folders for cheap and great quality (trust me) to hold dvd and cd's go here

mikey_ray...try this program, you can download your movie list to a website, to save, and show friends and family.
They have a free version, but I think it has a limit on how many you can upload to the site.

Tapes are still quite appreciated at some collector circles: There's still plenty of movies which aren't available at DVD at all - at least in uncut form - or there's only foreign DVD's which might be expensive and hard to find, so VHS versions are still good option to get to see them. There's also lots of tapes which have rarity value because of their wantedness, limited print runs etc.
Good example is Danger: Diabolik which was really hard to find as good versions before it was released as DVD month or two ago. Before that there was only few versions available: US Laserdisc, which was as far as I know only widescreen version, was very expensive (and I don't have player - yet) so I decided to buy US tape version. It was Pan & Scan but still very good option for Laserdisc because it cost only about 5$. There have been also bootleg DVD made from LD available, but because I don't prefer copies or bootlegs I didn't bought it.
Another similas cases are Anthropophagous and Absurd, 2 Joe D'Amatos very violent horror movies: Anthropophagous has been released as DVD in it's uncut form only in Japan and Germany. Japan version is italian language print without english subtitles and it's extremely expensive, German one is english I think but it's probably mastered from tape because picture is near VHS quality. As tape it's released uncut in Greece and UK, both version are rare but I got my old UK tape at sane price and it's english. Absurd (uncut) has been released as DVD only in Germany and picture quality is as poor as in Anthropophagous, only known uncut tape version is old UK one which is very rare and wanted - and that's what I got. As a small fact I've seen those both british tape versions rising over 100£ in eBay so I'm not only one who likes them...
I guess most of you doesn't even recognise these movies or doesn't understand what makes them so special, but my point was that why pay for expensive DVD when they are incomplete or otherwise bad versions if there's also ones in other format which are complete ones and have also other values than uncut status. Personally I like to spend my money for them much more than for some torso DVD's.
I've been updating my tape originals to DVDs if somebody has released really good versions of them, I'm not really interested about extra materials but it's movie itself that matters. Ofcourse DVD's have often much better picture quality than tapes but some tape versions are also very well made so there hasn't been really need to update them. I might be also just a nostalgic fool but I like tapes also because they have unique feel about old times, those massive covers with woring marks and dull art seems that they really have history and past when new DVD's just doesn't have any personality at all.
Shit, this kind of text is really hard to write as understoodable way in english. Hope you get it.

i see where you are coming from, im more about quantity over quality, hence my high number of dvds; but i will have to agree with you from a collectors point of view~ :) stick w/ your VHS as im SURE you have many films that never made it to dvd, you have the rare, MUST KEEP ones that are crucial to any avid collector~
i just own many of the mainstream ones and foreign films from overseas...im positive there are so many that you own that i will never get a good dvd copy of solely because they never made it to dvd format~
may your collection continue to grow romero~ good luck~ :)

you could do what I do and convert to DVD. The video quality doesn't get any better, but the discs will last longer than the tapes (if you're using good quality discs).
@mikey_ray: Thanks for the link man, I just bought a 520-disc binder for $18 ($27 with shipping). Can't beat that with a stick!

@mikey_ray have you ordered from that site with the cd binders before?
@squizzle,your going to need a forklift to lift that big of a binder.I have ones that hold 300, and they have some serious weight to them,
dont expect your wife, or girlfriend, to be able to lift them.
Those prices are great tho.

stick w/ your VHS as im SURE you have many films that never made it to dvd
Ofcourse I have also big bunch of movies which have been released also on DVD, but some of them are so good versions that I won't keep hurry updating them and other ones aren't so good they would be worth of upgrading. Most of the DVD's I buy or have bought are movies which I haven't got in my collection before, there's only few that have appeared on the shelves as tapes before and most of them are cases where my tape versions have been cut ones and newbought DVD's complete versions, and movies released as several alternate versions with large changes are their own chapter... Anyway, I don't usually sell my previous tape versions when I buy DVD so there's some titles I own both VHS and DVD.

Actually my movie hobby is at some kind of pause mode, because I decided to take a little time out for several reasons: I wrote more about that here:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/5/183291
At the moment I'm not going to buy large amounts of movies, just some few titles which seems to really interest me, because I'll try to see does my passion for movies wake up or not. My latest bought was 8 DVD collection of classic Universal horror movies (Mummy, Dracula, Wolfman etc.), and there's coming soon some more extraordinary stuff like old Indonesian horror and barbarian movies and Turkish crime/sleaze romps. At least they are something different, if my lack of interesting for movies is caused from watching too much similar movies those should be the right cure for me :)
