This Guy Wants To Collect 1,000,000 Copies of Titanic On VHS
Florida man wants to collect one million copies of Titanic on VHS. Here we see Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in James Cameron's amazing hit movie.
The big question that we can’t seem to answer yet is, “Why?” There’s a guy who is a gigantic fan of the smash-hit movie Titanic and he has set a goal of to collect one million copies of Titanic on VHS. You read that correctly. 1,000,000 copies. On VHS tape.
And again, let me just ask, “Why?”
Of course, a ton of people owned the movie on VHS tape back in the day. More than 25 million of them were sold. Though it’s unclear how many of them are still in use and how many of them are packed away in a box somewhere in the basement. Not matter, if you still have a copy of Titanic on VHS, this man wants your to mail it to him. He says got a P.O.Box that he claims is jammed full of them every week.
BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND – MARCH 27: A giant steel name plate marks the entrance to the Titanic Belfast Experience on March 27, 2012 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Titanic Belfast Experience is a new £90 million visitor attraction opening on March 31, 2012.

The man goes by the name, “J.D.” and he’s from Florida (of course). The answer to my question seems to be, “Because he’s a huge fan of the movie”. JD claims that he already has the largest collection of the Titanic movie soundtrack on CD. His collection of the VHS tapes is well on its way but it’s no where near one million. JD says that his current Titanic VHS collection stands at 2477 copies. So, clearly JD needs help from the outside.
I don’t care how many thrift stores JD visits, no way he gets to a million copies on VHS without help from the general public. And, lets be honest for a moment: If you still have a copy of the flick on VHS it’s doubtful that you do anything with it. So you might as well mail it to this nut case in Florida.
If you still have a copy of Titanic on VHS, you can mail your copy to JD at this address: P.O Box 5355, Largo, Florida, 33779
JD thanks you for helping him reach his goal to collect one million copies of Titanic on VHS on today’s No Sweat News.

14 Actors Who Hated Their Own Movies
There are movies that we love and those we can’t stand. For the actors starring in these films, some are proud of the work they did, while others wish they didn’t sign up for certain projects. Actors of high and low status have regrets about the roles they’ve taken on during the course of their careers. Unfortunately for them, these movies will live on forever to haunt them. Some have openly bashed the films they starred in, while others have taken it in stride and made jokes about their poor choices. However, some of the movies on this list have become cult favorites, like the 2004 Catwoman movie Halle Berry starred in. Critics may have hated it, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of a low 8%, but it still gained a cult following. While appearing on What What Happens Live in 2017, the actress was asked to rate the movie and while laughing, she says, “100.”
Cult Followings
Another film that has a large cult following is the Twilight film franchise. Robert Pattinson starred as Edward Cullen, the brooding heartthrob vampire of every teenage girl’s fantasies during the late aughts. During the Twilight mania, Pattinson was overwhelmed by the intensity of it all, and his disinterest in the franchise was reflected in his press tour for the films. In a 2019 interview with USA Today, Pattinson revealed he has “very warm memories” since the mania died down. He told the publication, “People come up [to me] and just have very fond memories of it. It’s a really sweet thing. I think the only scary part was right in the thick of it all, when it was very, very intense.” The actor also spoke highly of the film’s soundtrack. He said as he recently watched part of New Moon on TV. “It genuinely does have an incredibly good soundtrack. I completely forgot, but the soundtracks were quite ahead of their time.” The New Moon soundtrack featured artists like Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver & St. Vincent, Lykke Li, Death Cab For Cutie, Muse, and The Killers.
