    How much info do you know about them
    Depends, I pick up general trivia here and there. If I really like the movie or care to know something then will check it out on IMDB.

    How many have you seen
    Probably thousands, over the course of a lifetime.

    How many do you own
    Not that many, but then I'm pretty poor right now. Don't really need to buy them anyway. Most of my collection is just taped of the TV.

    How much do you like them
    A lot, wonderful way to pass the time.

    Do you see them in the theather
    Sometimes, but not that often. Too expensive, and I'm antisocial. Unless of course I can't wait for it to come out on TV/rental.

    How do you see most of your movies/do you pay for them
    Watch them on TV, or rented, which is kinda paid for though not necessarily by me.

    What is your favorite
    I have a list of about ten that I flit between. Hmm in my current mood, probably Team America.
     
  6. How much info do you know about them
    I have a photographic memory, I pick up weird stuff, I also come from a trekkie background so I watch for things, tiny silly things

    How many have you seen
    upwards of 1000

    How many do you own
    86

    How much do you like them
    I could live without them, but they're nice when the internet is out

    Do you see them in the theather
    not until lately, I'm going to see brothers grimm, I cannot imagine seeing a movie twice in a theatre, I cannot imagine seeing the same movie twice in three months, I just get nothing out of it

    How do you see most of your movies/do you pay for them
    usually t.v, library is good too, have a family movie night

    What is your favorite
    thin man.....

    How much info do you know about them
    Quite a bit, actually. I took an intro to film class in college, and I'm a trivia collector.

    How many have you seen
    To date, I've rated 1,519 films in Netflicks. I've p[robably seen hundreds more.

    How many do you own
    Very few. It has to be a very special film to rate a purchase, and I have to have the $$ to purchase when I'm thinking about it.

    How much do you like them
    Too much, probably. I'm a Netflicks member, and I spend more time than I should searching for films to record on DVR.

    Do you see them in the theather
    I see nearly all the big summer blockbusters and most of the bigger Oscar films in the theater. It's a hobby I enjoy with friends. I wish I had time to watch more independant films in the theater.

    How do you see most of your movies/do you pay for them
    Theater, DVR, Netflicks. I don't download movies.

    What is your favorite
    I don't have one favorite film. Here are some:
    Nearly everything directed by Stanley Kubrick
    The majority of films directed by Ridley Scott (LOVE Blade Runner)
    Most films by Akira Kurosawa
    Most Woody Allen movies
    Some of Oliver Stone's films
    Most of Taratino's stuff
    A lot of Ang Lee's films
    Everything of Yimou Zhang's that I've seen
    Hitchcock
    M Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense and Unbreakable
    Virtually everything starring Johnny Depp
    The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
    Apocalypse Now
    Chinatown
    Clerks
    A Fish Called Wanda
    Fargo
    The Killing Fields
    The Fifth Element
    Taxi Driver
    Pitch Black
    Indiana Jones movies
    Ghandi
    Vanilla Sky

    I could go on and on.

    There was a time there between December 2002 and July 2004 where movies were all I ingested. Every night I'd rent and watch two movies or go out, almost always alone, to the theatre. Geez..

    while movies are the epic dramas that encapsulate the unconscious archetypes within us all, and thus make them so engaging, and fill in meaning for us--

    they're brazen and ungrounded in something that has ritual or continuity and some sort of formalized meaning, so they're not really the same as real 'stories' and 'dramas' of our lives (for the most part). Instead of being more grounded in something where a dialogue, continuity, and feedback can be generated, they are empty shells that give a disembodied experience, filler life, if you will, to many people. this is not against anyone who loves movies, but in reference to their role in western/USA collective psyche.

    i see about 2 movies a year, or so. I have no interest really in movies, and i think most of them are tripe filler for actual experience, none the less that is my 2cents.

    I love movies. I go to the movies quite often and I watch just about one movie a day if not more. I recall them all when I see just one scene I can tell you what happens if I have seen it before. It is the curse of photographic memory lol.

    how much info do you know about them
    Enough trivia to live off of, Stuff about cameras and filters and shots, Stuff we learn in film studies which is ok, but all we do is watch movies and listen to the teacher point out obvious stuff, but thats cool cuz often times i do learn new stuff and there are some things that I don't notice that he points out. Pretty much the essentials that make me a movie nerd.

    how many have you seen
    Countless amounts. It would be easier to count how many I haven't seen. (this includes porn :p just kidding)

    how many do you own
    The last time I made a list I had 70 DVDs and 50 VHS and a whole bunch of ones I recorded.

    how much do you like them
    I hate them! I can't believe I keep buying and watching them! I must be INSANE!! :p what a silly question.

    do you see them in the theater
    Tis the only way to watch them. It's awesome cuz I've werked in a 10 cinema theatre so I have all the info on the new and coming movies and I never don't have a movie to watch :p

    how do you see most of your movies/do you pay for them
    I usually go to the theatre and I only have to pay at the theatre I don't werk for and its cool cuz they are the cheap theatre :p

    what is your favorite
    goodness I don't know. I'm going to have to lean towards the Fifth Element. Why? because its hot. and Luc Besson made it so its awesome. I like his movies, they are always jam packed. like the transporter and unleashed. plus, usually in his movies, the main character is a dude, who is pretty ^^.
