the_red_shoes tagged me, so here I go:

1) Total number of films I own on DVD/video: If you leave out my Buffy/Angel DVD boxed sets, I probably have less than 20 films on DVD (and a lot of 'em star John Hurt). I do have quite a few films on video, though.

2) The last film I bought: I think it was the English edition of Mr. Forbush and the Penguins, because the American copy is a ridiculously bad print (though only cost about a dollar) plus is stupidly called Cry of the Penguins.

3) The last film I watched: A really good documentary about the Z Channel (influential Los Angeles cable movie channel that we couldn't get in my neighborhood, though I watched it at a friend's house, and a friend of my dad used to tape films off it for him, back in the early 80s). A depressing film because of the personal life of the guy who ran it (his life ended in a murder-suicide), but a wonderful movie about the love of movies...

4) Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:
