I useta download movies that I couldn't find and wanted to see, but then I got Netflix and they had a good selection, so I got to see lots of stuff that I couldn't rent at my local Rentotron. I never burned them to dvd though, b/c they were usually the type of movies that I just watched so I would know, like Cannibal Holocaust (somehow downloaded an uncut version).

the movies I buy I buy because I want to watch them, or because I just plain made me feel good to have them on the shelf. I'm not a collector though, I open them up and play em (same with toys). sometimes I can be a bit of a stickler about having the enclosed artwork, but not usually.

also, if I only half-ass want a movie, I'll buy it used. but I never buy used dvds of stuff that I feel I must have.
