Who am I?

Below is a list of movies I own. Roughly alphabetical order, except those that were off the shelf for some reason. If someone has borrowed a movie, I have likely forgotten that I own it, henve it would not be listed. TV shows are not in order. Parenthesis indicate that I think I own it, but cannot find it. What does this list say about me? I'd be interested in hearing what you think.

Remember: some of these I received as gifts. But as I have no kids, no wife, and no girlfriends, these are for my enjoyment alone.

I have never seen it all the way through. I have read about how impressive it is, and I like what I have read, and given the opportunity would probably add it to my collection on that basis alone. This is how my collection tends to grow.
