Susan and I have always loved movies. The first 20 years, we lived in theaters and drive-ins. Then I bought a VCR and a big screen TV in 1981 when both were very rare. In fact, there were no movie rental places or even video tapes for sale as yet. So, I recorded our own collection. Then when pre=recorded video tapes became available, I started collecting them. When I reached 2,400 movies, guess what, the DVD was the new cutting edge. I began collecting the new releases immediately and gradually replacing the tapes. Today, I have 2,900 DVDs and still have over 2,200 tapes. There are a lot of movies done on tape that have never been released on DVD. Here are photos of most of the collection.

These are all television series.

These cabinets are part of the collection by star’s names

More Star’s names

Again, Stars names on the right and then categories, War, Western, Sci-Fi, 007, Super heroes, etc.

All categories, Classic, Drama, Action, Fantasy, Documentary, Comedy, etc.

These are other hobbies and pastimes. All the photos in this post were taken on the lower level of our home! When we sold VLS, many of the computers were leased. I had to pay off the leases, fortunately, the computers were recent acquisitions, so, we just set up a network and use them all! There are two in this photo. Note the poster signed by Mathew McConaughey. Many of the Hollywood studios, especially special effects studios, were customers of VLS. One day, a studio head asked to talk to me, they were filming U-571, he asked if I would like an autographed poster, and that is how I got it!

This is the computer I use for the movie program, to track and update.
