Every now and again, I'll go to the DVD collection thinking "I fancy watching Dark City.... oh bugger", then remembering I sold it at a boot fair some time previous, this got me to thinking, was I the only one making regrettable knee-jerk reactions to which films I'd never want to watch again...
Dark City
Karate Kid 1-3
Lethal weapon 1-4
Johnathan Creek boxsets
The 6th Day (it has its moments)
10 things I hate about you
American Werewolf in London
Christine
Armageddon/The Rock (Criterion editions)(kinda)
The Long Kiss Goodnight
The Negotiator (first DVD I ever purchased)
I'm going to stop now. I'm making myself depressed

Never seen Christine or 6th Day and don't own Karate Kid 1-3 or Jonathon Creek, but the rest I own and enjoy all of them 
On the plus side, Dark City, the Blu Ray is the director's cut, which makes a massive difference I believe.
In fact that's well up on my list to upgrade to Blu Ray (think there was a Region 1 dvd available aswell).
The main difference is that it removes the voiceover at the beginning, which gives far too much away. Think there's about 10mins of extra footage aswell.

I think The Long Kiss Goodnight was awful, nothing more than an excuse by a director to watch his wife kick ass.
Not got rid of any of my DVDs, but I have managed to lose my Nirvana Never Mind CD which is very annoying.
Also I still always regret selling my huge Scalectrix collection to buy a midi system when I was a teenager.

Never happens with me. Once a DVD/ Blu-ray/ CD/ Book enters this house it never leaves...
However, I wish I'd hung on to my comics as a kid, my film magazines from the 1970s, my original 1966 Corgi Batmobile, my Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from the same era, my Captain Scarlet SPV and MSV...

I sold loads a few years back when times were hard.
Goonies
Back to the future
Lord of the Rings extened box sets
Buffy complete collectors editions
Alsmost entire Disney collection
Terminator 2, Region 1 with the secret extended version
Transformers orginal animated movie
to name just a few
We went from approx 350 dvd's to less than 50, so far have not replaced any with BluRays,
I tell lies, Transformers (new version), bought on DVD, sold, bought on BluRay with a BD player and a new amp to replace faulty one when things picked up again!
One I keep meaning to get is Back to the Future, love those films.
All the best
Gerald.
