I have nearly my entire collection surrounding me, by running a single shelf right below the ceiling around the entire room. it's quite the impressive display.
This sounds impressive; however, how often do you have to clean off cobwebs?

We purchased two sets of Danish bookcases (6 in total 72"x30") to store our DVD collection in the library on the main floor. Meanwhile, our book collection is downgraded to my wife's library on the second floor.SncDthMnky wrote: how do you guys show them off?
I never bought movies on VHS either, but with this order, I just passed the 450 mark for DVDs.manicsounds wrote:Its funny to think I never bought VHS tapes (besides blank ones),

Currently, I have 3 and half Ikea bookcases filled with DVDs and quickly eyeballing another one soon.SncDthMnky wrote:lets now discuss our means of storage/display.

well, I just put it up about a month ago, and haven't checked for dust since... I'll have to check that out. It was a brilliant idea, I must say. I still live with my family, and I have the biggest room in the house. But a full bed, a wardrobe, a bigscreen tv, a couch, and my dvd collection left me with literally nowhere to move around. Once I got them above me, it provided much needed walking space.nick wrote:I have nearly my entire collection surrounding me, by running a single shelf right below the ceiling around the entire room. it's quite the impressive display.

I could never give my books second place to anything, much as I love movies.

It's probably just snobbery, but I do feel there's something inherently unattractive about bookcases full of DVDs. Even if, like this guy, you've carefully arranged all your special edition severed monster heads along the top shelf.

I LOVE film, there's no doubt about it, and I put film in front of DVDs of course... But there's something about bringing home a new film and making it apart of your collection... It's exciting and I'm sure it is for many other people than me.
I do agree that people spend WAY too much money on DVDs, but it's something they enjoy... So you shouldn't really criticize them. We all have our moments. Besides... Films are keeping all of us off the streets and away from drugs.... Right.... RIGHT!?
