By the time I got a VCR, I had a collection of about 400 music cassettes, so I had a pretty good idea of how much space that stuff takes up, and how much it weighs when you have to pack it up and move it. That, plus being aware that I'm rarely inclined to see a movie more than once, combined to make me take a strong stand against collecting videos. Nevertheless, I do have a few:
- an indie film which my nephew co-produced and acted in
- The Last Innocent Man starring Ed Harris, Roxanne Hart and David Suchet, in which I was an extra
- Diet for a New America, John Robbins' documentary on the effect of the American diet on the health of our planet which, frankly, I think should be required viewing for everyone who eats
- Fairy Tale: A True Story, which speaks to my inner little girl, a lover of miniature things who read Hans Christian Anderson's Little Tiny over and over again
Others I've seen more than once, will see again sometime, and would add to my "collection" if I were collecting:
I once had
Dances With Wolves also. I sold it at a garage sale when I realized that, as much as I enjoyed it at the theater, I was really not inclined to watch it again, especially on a small screen. So many movies, so little time, you know?

I regret I haven't seen most of these and the local rental place specializes in drek. But I have seen Never Cry Wolf - six or seven times, never tiring of it.
