Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

First you need to know two things:

1. Hubby has an extensive collection of sci-fi movies on DVD. I think it's his goal to own every sci-fi movie ever made. The shelving alone takes up one whole wall of our living room and the total count is fast approaching 2,000!

2. My mother eats dinner with us five nights a week. Then we watch some TV before Hubby takes her home. Lately it's been old episodes of Star Trek and on Sunday we always watch America's Funniest Home Videos. The only nights she doesn't eat with us are Wednesday and Saturday when she does church stuff.

Last night Hubby came home with "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and decided we needed to watch it after dinner. Since Mom's taste in movies and TV usually runs more toward Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Matlock, and Little House on the Prairie, I figured she'd wind up sleeping through the movie. Boy, was I wrong! It took her a while to get into the story, but by the end she was on the edge of her seat. And, I think Baby Groot has a new fan, too. LOL

Next time, I won't be so leery of movies that are out of Mom's comfort zone. We still won't show her anything scary, though. She actually watched "Tremors" through her fingers. 🤣

Every time I come across Tremors on TV it's as delightful as the first time. :)

2,000 sci fi movies! Are they kept in any type of order?

The actual count is 1850 or so, which includes about 50 of my own personal movies and TV shows. We've had to ditch the boxes and put the discs into special storage envelopes. Those are kept in alphabetical order in bins. Box sets and special packaging has a shelving unit all to themselves. I created a database to keep track of the inventory. Hubby was constantly calling me to "check and see if we have ...". I got tired of that. LOL
