I told them that there were people who had hundreds more, but actually hearing that someone has that many is startling. Like Fat Malky said, I would not even knoiw where to put them. I could probably create room for about 70 or more additional films, but after that it will be a challenge to find more space, but I will certainly try, when I get there. In regards to Lucio Fulci, I have not seen any of his movies yet, but it just so happens I rented his most famous film Zombie 2 from Netflix and I plan to watch it today or tomorrow.

Congrats on discovering Fulci. I have around 40 of his movies on DVD (He didn't only do Horror). Just keep an open mind when watching his movies. Italian Horror is far different from American Horror and you have to understand that Fulci usually had nothing to work with.
Some producer would put up a $100,000-250,000 and say, "Zombie movies are hot right now we need a seasoned director to make one with no budget, and lets not give him much say in how we want it made", so they would hire Lucio and he would do the best with what he was given. Many of his films suffer from low budget and producers who wouldn't let him make the film he wanted to make, but his "actual direction" for me has always been something truly wonderful to behold.
Still, he had many "Gems" and some of my favorites still get no respect.
