8. My wife and I eventually end up with DVDs of all our favorite movies and television programs.

We have hundreds of them.

Recently these are showing up in thrift stores, much as video cassettes once did when DVDs became the preferred video format.

Some we've bought at retail prices, sale prices or otherwise. Ten dollar or less DVDs catch my eye. DVDs fifteen dollars or more generally don't.

My own movie tastes are a bit darker than my wife's.

She did not enjoy Brazil or Repo Man. They are brilliant.

Movies we have in common are Galaxy Quest, the first three Indiana Jones, first three Star Wars, various Star Trek movies most importantly Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, The Wizard of Oz, Auntie Mame, the entire Harry Potter set (books and DVDs), all the MASH episodes, all the West Wing episodes, Firefly, Singing in the Rain...

Ooops, more than ten.
