Building A DVD Collection Everyone Will Love
Today almost any home with a television set also has a DVD player, and many now have blu ray players as well. Since the invention of the VHS, we no longer have to go to a movie theater to enjoy the best movies and now we can collect movies that we love and can watch over and over again. Building a large collection of you and your family’s favorite movies isn’t as expensive as you might think and the best collections include a variety of different genres of movies.
No movie collection would be complete if it just focused on one genre. Sure you might love horror movies but do you ever plan on watching them with a date or your family? So have all of your favorites, including the horror movies if you like them but add some variety too. Add a couple of family movies, a couple of comedies, some action-thrillers and maybe a Christmas DVD or two, it doesn’t really matter what you add just have some variety so that if you plan on watching your DVDs with other people, you will have some that people will actually want to enjoy with you.
One way to add some variety and make sure you have some DVDs that will appeal to lots of people will be to include some that sold a lot of tickets at the box office. Movies like the Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Avatar, and Titanic all did very well. Even if you aren’t a big fan of box office hits, there most likely is at least one or two that did well that you can add to your collection and pull out when visitors with different movie tastes than yours come.
Classics are a great way of adding variety to your collection and are essential because many of today’s movies have been inspired by them. Just think of the most recent Disney’s A Christmas Carol DVD, this movie was inspired by the novel but also by the many adaptations on film that have been redone by the likes of Bill Murray and Patrick Stewart. I’m not saying you should include this particular film. But think of the classics, Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Casablanca and you will find many of today’s movies trying to work to match the standards that these movies have set.
In the end, you want your DVD collection to include as many genres and types of movies. A well diversified DVD collection will leave you with plenty of options to watch so on those nights you don’t feel like watching a comedy you have plenty of other options.
