I bought a lot of DVDs during the last three months of 2006. Most of them were bargains, and I guess I paid an average of 6 Euros per DVD. A lot were former favorites (which I also hope to enjoy in the future), but at least hal of those listed below are films I have yet to see. The huge majority of films is american, but those are simply the usual films available in the stores here in Germany (I guess not different than most of the places around the world). But as I have after a couple of dry years financially finally been able to reach a a green leaf (metaphorically speaking), this is only the beginning. In 2007 I will start purchasing quality foreign releases via the internet, so that I will be able to watch more often than not what I REALLY want to see, and not what is locally available. 
As of now, this is the rather conventional beginning of my DVD Odyssey (which will hopefully by far exceed the next ten years ;-))

PS: There are really many documentaries included in all those box-sets and special editions. I just hope they are worth their inclusion. There were also a dozen short films which i didn't list but which i hope to enjoy as much as most of the features.
