I'm dead serious.

I'm going to start with the first movies that I remember seeing at an extremely young age. (Benji, Jaws, Star Wars, Goldfinger, etc.)

I will then work my way up to the movies that I discovered later on during my childhood. (Planet of the Apes, The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman II, etc.)

From there, I'll go through my teenage years, my college years, my early adult years, and so on.

I'll begin by putting my Blu-rays in the order that I discovered each movie during my life. This is different from the production date, mind you, because there were a lot of movies that I discovered decades after the fact (Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, etc.), but I will be watching them in the order that I first discovered them during my lifetime, so that the viewings will be like going through a big memory reel of my own life.

Biographical order, did you get that from High Fidelity?

Lately I've just been solving the blind buy problem by only watching blind buys, weeding out the ones I don't want to keep. In a couple of months I want my collection to only contain films I've seen and have deemed to be "keepers".
