gone and not completely forgotten…

In my DVD heyday of the late 90’s and early aughts, one of my main sources of inspiration was Glenn Erickson’s DvdSavant blog at Dvdtalk.com. I haven’t checked it out in many years, but this morning I looked again. It’s gone and moved, now at its own renamed site, cinesavant.com, but it had the same effect… I got into wondering about all the movies I’ve parted with, which I wish I hadn’t, which of those I should maybe try re-getting? Anyway, I figured I’d post a list of the movies I had, that I don’t anymore… Some of them I have now repurchased, and I’ll move those to the bottom of the list

Note that anything with an asterisk is something I’d like to still have, and anything with (alt) means that I got rid of it because I’d replaced it with a different version.
