since thanksgiving i've been re-watching several dvds i own. most of them are movies several years old that i much enjoyed at the time. sometimes you have to take a break from the things you like so it was nice to watch them again. it was like visiting old friends. since i haven't watched them in awhile, i had considered getting rid of a few. afterall, if i don't watch it often, what's the point in keeping them? but i'm glad i watched them again because i was reminded of their value, for the time being. i was thinking of compiling an absolute favorites list, my 5 star films if you will, and only keeping those. when i browse through the dvds i own, it's more amazing to me which films i don't own! some i did have on vhs and just never bothered to get on dvd, (such as "halloween"), and others i've just put on the back burner.
