There are I think a lot more of us than you realize.
My digital collection started a little like yours, pulling together 100 or so of our most-loved movies that could be watched around the house at the push of a button. Lovely little tech project that allowed hours and hours of tinkering and ample opportunities to show off to technophobe friends and relatives.
But as the collection grows, and your storage requirements increase, it stops becoming a mission to have easy access to your favourite movies and more some twisted techno version of pokemon. It's less about the quality and more about the scale. I can't stop collecting, even though 70% of my media is probably rated as less than 7/10 on IMDB. I especially like franchises where there are three or more movies. Somehow I MUST have all the Resident Evil and Stargate films in my collection even though I know I will never watch them.
