So, here are the covers of my next little rush of DVDs. Honestly I think that with films, the cover says nothing. I think the cover of Amelie is okayish and the one of Before Sunrise plain horrible. I also kind of dislike the cover of “Life as a House”, but that’s not a particularily great movie anyways, I admit that I only bought that one out of nostalgy.
All in all, I’m very glad to have purchased these though, especially for the price :3 Here’s the rundown:
– Before Sunrise: 6 euro
– Before Sunset: 6 euro
– A Fish Called Wanda: 4 euro
– Life as a House: 6 euro
– Amélie: 5 euro

Because of the horrible light conditions, it took me an eternity to take a decent picture of my DVDs as a whole. As you can easily see, I barely have any! I wouldn’t even call it a collection – I have way more favourite movies than DVDs XD More than that, all these DVDs are german, we also have whole bunch of chinese DVDs which I will not put on display here. What is missing on this picture are a video of “Magnolia”, my DVD of “Night on Earth” and all the copied DVDs. (And I have 16 of them O.o)
What really bugs me about this ‘collection’ is the same as with books. Sometimes you have to tilt your head towards the left and sometimes to the right to read the titles. I have a tilting-my-head-complex, like other people have a symmetry complex XXXD

I wonder if I actually ever have bought more than one DVD at a time. I’m probably a horribly economic person who feels guilty when spending more than 20 euro at a time. On the other hand, I spend quite a lot of the rare occasions I go out with friends, eek. In that respect, the 23 euros I ended up spending on this is absolutely nothing. After all, I think I got some gems here.

So, there is:
– The Dreamers: 8 euro
– Ninotchka: 3 euro
– Lost in Translation: 6 euro
– The Butterfly Effect (premium limited edition, eek XD): 6 euro

Also notice my sweet pink bed sheet and a leg of a Tachikoma :3

Of course, the purchase of “The Dreamers” initiated this shopping spree – I really wanted to see the movie again (and I did), and actually this just makes me want to hunt down more stores for cheap DVDs, tehe.
“Ninotchka” was so incredibly cheap and I actually enjoyed the film. Also, I somewhat want to see it in german, haha. “Lost in Translation” is just a must-buy one day and 6 euro is the limit for what I would buy it – then again, there were nice extras. “The Butterfly” has a great price for an edition that includes the Director’s Cut which I was quite interested in. And finally, “The Dreamers” also has some sweet extras and actually is a film that I most definitely will watch another time in my life. Maybe the day when I feel that “The Dreamers” is too immature for me and I am too old for it.

On a side note, I actually also bought some more DVDs on Amazon… which will come in another posting over the weekend. Oh gosh. XD
