I was looking through my movies, and working out how many I have bought, and then how many of them I have actually watched .. and found I've only watched around 40% of them ... which still didn't stop me going to buy 5 more today

Anyway, how about other people?

Cheers

I usually have some unwatched dvd, but not as much as some others. I bought fastest than I watch, so normally I've between 0 and 30 unwatched dvd. This is not a really big percentage of what own if I take today it's 2.8%

Edit : Completly read the poll question wrong the first time  , I don't have have 0 - 25% of my movie watched

I tryto watch them all, but there's a couple few that I just haven't ever got to. Most are from boxsets, but there's a few singles that Haven't seen the player tray yet.
Definitly well over 90% but not quite 100.

It'll be hard for me to give an exact percentage.  I marked a lot of my DVD's as being watched if I've seen them but I didn't do that for those I've seen but not recently and wouldn't mind seeing again.

I always have to ask for clarification when it comes to these kinds of polls.

By "watched" do you mean whether I've seen the movie or the DVD?

Example: I watched Iron Man in the theater not too long ago. When I buy the DVD and put it on the shelf, without watching it first, would that count as an "unwatched" movie?

94% - don't think I'll ever reach 100% cos my buying outstrips my watching usually.

Sometimes, depending on the film I enjoy buying it more than watching it

83.50% watched. Going to be hard catching up though as almost half my unwatched are TV Seasons.

Fair question, but I always look at it like if I don't want to watch the movie again, then why buy the dvd? I know sometimes extras, exclusives and good sale prices make me buy things I wouldn't otherwise, but I'm trying hard to not let that factor into my decisions. It is getting better between that and lack of shelf space.

80.8% but I have the same problem Max does.  Most of the ones I haven't watched yet are TV series.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Well, yeah, I can agree with that. Even if I don't always follow it.  Either way, what you said doesn't answer my question regarding what TommyG asked.
