It took roughly 3 years, maybe a little longer.  I set a max of 10 dollars per DVD, and only had to go over that twice.  Some were very easy to find, but others took a long time.  There are a number of out-of-print DVDs which were hard to find.  If I wanted to order them for 40-50 bucks a pop, no problem, but I was determined to stick to my 10 bucks max.  I finally tracked down "Shanghai Express", which was the hardest of all of them to find.  Found it when it cropped up on someone's Amazon storefront for 14.99, and essentially got it for free when I also signed up for an Amazon credit card to get 15 bucks off my order.  I also found "Last Hurrah for Chivalry" in great condition for 6 bucks last year, which I was very happy about since most sites which actually have it offer it for 40 bones or more.  So now I am bragging about it here because I told my wife and she just kind of rolled her eyes, but I am psyched! 

Out of Print titles :

Police Story
Police Story 2
Above the Law (Yuen Biao version, NOT the Seagal flick)
Shanghai Express
Last Hurrah for Chivalry
Crime Story
Royal Tramp Collection

For info, DD titles actually go up to 56, but the ones over 40 are much easier to find as they were all released in the last 2 years and none are out of print.  I have most of these as well, but they are nothing to brag about.

Last Hurrah was the hardest for me to find. Question though - do you have the Infernal affairs triple or just 2 & 3?

I have individual Infernal Affairs 2 and 3, and the Miramax release of the original.  Pics coming, but I have to wait for the last one to arrive at my front door.  Now let's hope they didn't swap it for the 1932 Marlene Dietrich version.....

Exactly they way I have it also. I'll give you 2 suggestions Bodyguards and Assassins (Donnie Yen) & The Raid: Redemption.

Ah excellent, thanks.  Love Donnie Yen.  His fight against Jing Wu in Kill Zone is one of the best ever filmed.  I've heard about The Raid, have just added it to my WishList.

I finally finished my full feature lenght film Alfred Hitchcock collection. Mary was a bit difficult, but it can be found as a bonus film from [5050582429794].

Finally saw "The Raid".  What a flick!  One of the best action movies I have ever seen.  I had never heard of the lead actor (Indonesian martial arts champion Iko Uwais), but he was simply incredible.  Some of the best fighting I have ever seen in a martial arts movie.  And much like Ong Bak or The Protector, the fighting goes directly for the kill, none of these 20-minute Jackie Chan knock-em-out fights.

The film also systematically, reestablished, the awesomeness of refrigerators. After a certain pointless sequel, tarnished there good name
