If you don't mind a documentary, be sure to include CRUMB.

Gene Hackman's Harry Caul in THE CONVERSATION has jazz records that he
plays along with--whether that qualifies him as a "collector," I'm not
sure.

The young Frenchman in ROUND MIDNIGHT is a collector and jazz fanatic
when he finds Dexter Gordon's character.

I seem to recall that the police officer in Fuller's NAKED KISS is
something of a jazz buff, as is Mike Hammer in KISS ME DEADLY.

You might also check Eastwood's disc jockey in PLAY MISTY FOR ME, De
Niro's saxophonist in NEW YORK, NEW YORK, as well as various biopics,
such as BIRD.
