aka PancakesI don't actually own many DVDs anymore. I buy them, rip them as high-quality .mkv files onto my hard drive, preserving the audio commentaries and subtitles and all that jazz, and play them using my Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ media player box thingy. I then sell the DVDs used, because, well, I never use DVDs anymore.
For movies that have multiple versions, I copy all of the ones I'm interested in. Usually it's just one version (like the Apocalypse Now theatrical cut), sometimes it's multiple versions (like both versions of Army of Darkness or Terminator 2).
Anyway, here's what I have on my hard drives - well, this is everything that I know I purchased legally, as I'll freely admit to pirating some things. Also, this is going to be a long list:

Wow...so yeah, that's everything that I've purchased legitimately. There's probably more that I've deleted over the years because I never watched it and needed hard drive space.
I guess I should post in the "obsessions" topic - making lists definitely falls under that category for me.

See You, Space Cowboy...^Gotta admit I'm surprised you have The Batman. I never would have thought you would enjoy anything not Batman TAS on the DC Animated spectrum, to be honest.

Tauntaun herder-Damn Fool Idealistic CrusaderI gave it a try because it was only $2. Despite my initial reaction to the animation style, it works for what it is. Though it does play to children more than other series. (In that the plots can be really obvious.) The Dracula direct-to-video movie has some great little moments, and the idea of a vampire Joker going nuts in a bloodbank is inspired!

Chief Architect of Cynical MoralityI'm pretty sure if you don't own the discs anymore, you can't have the digital copy. At least, that's the rules we play by with fan edits. I have all of my CDs ripped, but they're all in boxes in the basement, but I'm pretty big stickler to these kind of things.ChainsawAsh said:

aka PancakesIf I paid for it, and the studio got a cut of the money I paid for (i.e. I bought it new, not used), then I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I want with it. They got my money, so whether I still have the disc or not isn't any of their damn business.
And I'm certainly not making any profit by selling them - I'm still losing a decent chunk of change (if I get 50% of what I paid for it back, that's way above average), and that money's not being taken away from the studios at all. They still got their percentage from me.
If there's legal ramifications to that, they can charge me or sue me, but they can be damn sure I'll fight it until I win or can't fight anymore.
