A Movie Collection
Some people collect stamps. Other people collect CDs. I collect movies.
I’m a film Buff and I have a Collection of my favorite movies of all time. I usually buy a movie when it comes out on DVD, even if I’ve seen it already On the big screen. I have a High definition TV and I like watching movies in the comfort of my own home.
I prefer the Widescreen editions and the DVDs with a lot of Bonus features. I Pride myself on finding every Easter egg on every DVD I own. My friends think I’m crazy. Even if I already own a movie, I’ll buy it again if there’s a Special edition or Box set with extra Bloopers or Deleted scenes.
Even when I’m on vacation, I look for DVDs. Last year, I was traveling abroad and I bought some DVDs. When I got home, though, I found out that I couldn’t play them in my DVD player because they had a different Region code than the one we use in the U. S. I also bought a Bootleg DVD on the street and the quality was terrible. I really learned my lesson on that trip!
