Here is my collection sorted by genre. (and also a little plug for Guzzlefish - good way to organize your DVDs for free)
Wooo!! JIm, your collection is much the same with mine!
Jeepers Creepers is.....I think this movie's mistake is revealed monster. Anyway, JC was not popular movie in Japan.

Didn't the scene where they are driving after their run in with the bad guy and they see him off the side of the road by that old church kick butt? That scene alone made me like the first part of the movie. Very nice.
JC 2 is OK. If you go into it not thinking that it is going to be anything beyond your run of the mill entertaining horror cheese flick. Doesn't hold up to the first 45 minutes of JC, or for that matter when comparing both movies as a whole JC is much better then JC2.

The Changeling
The Eye (Jian Gui)
The Exorcist
The Others
The Uninvited
The Ring
Jeeper's Creepers (Most people don't agree, but I think the movie is really tense)
I just ordered The Eye, good to see it has a recomendation from someone on the board.
Saw The Changeling recently based on Lisa and Marc's recommendation. They're both big fans. I liked it, it had some really good touches to it.

I have a spreadsheet I've kept up to date for all my DVDs (allows me to note who's borrowed what - I'm better than Blockbusters to my friends). I also specified genre and have a little pie chart at the bottom telling me which I have the most of. Drama is top, but if I added SciFi and Fantasy together that would win hands down.
This Guzzlefish, do you have to download anything to your PC? I looked into one of these things before and it wanted to integrate itself with my PC allowing everybody around the world access. I declined.

PS Nice collection, our tastes run very similar - especially nice to see Blast From The Past there, an underrated classic.

What? No Magnificent 7 or Wild Bunch in your westerns?

Actually, I don't know if I've seen the Wild Bunch. I saw Mag 7 a LONG time ago. I think both are in my Netflix queue if that is any consolation.

It doesn't have anywhere to put notes (like who you lent movies to) but you can get around that in other ways.

You put yours on a spreadsheet? Excel? I'd like to see it if you don't mind. I had always wanted to create a database program to keep track, but, alas, I have little experience in such things and my laziness knows no bounds. So I used one that some else had already created (Guzzlefish).
Blast From the Past is great isn't it. It is such a GOOD movie and doesn't rely on vulgarity and the normal comic fare (not that those aren't funny too). I put it right up there with The Wedding Singer (though some people just don't like Adam Sandler - fools!).

Move The Wild Bunch to #1. There's never been a western like it -- before or since.

I am SO glad that won Best Picture (that and Braveheart). And I still think Val Kilmer gave an Oscar-worthy performance in Tombstone.

He's got so many great lines in that movie.

Compelled to illustrate our dreams and hopes
Victors hang in pictures, losers from ropes.
Regardless they all swing in the same boat.
