Movie Organization

[Zaranyzerak]

BD and DVD mixed, so I can enjoy watching my collection slowly turn Blu as I upgrade.

As for organization, I actually organize by GENRE, then group similarly themed programs together.

So for example, I have my Sci-fi section with epic "outer spacey" sci-fi TV shows first (stuff like Babylon 5, Firefly, etc.), then shifting to the various sub-genres of sci-fi. Star Wars and Star Trek share a shelf, and I have a British Sci-fi shelf as well (lots of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Tomorrow People, etc.)

For Horror, I have my Italian Horror section (Argento, Fulci, etc.), my Zombie movies section, Classic (the old Universal monster movies, etc.), and so on.

For cartoons (of which I have a lot), I've got an 80's and 90's cartoon section (Thundercats, He-Man, Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, etc.), and an "adult" cartoons section (Family Guy, Futurama, Ralph Bakshi stuff, Adult Swim stuff, etc.)

It's actually all quite logical and easy to find a particular title within each section. I just find alphabetizing so....boring. I would actually find it MORE difficult to find a title I'm in the mood for that way. This way when I'm in the mood for sci-fi, I just look at the Sci-fi shelves. Horror, the horror shelves. Classics, the Classics shelf, etc.

I did a series of videos about how I have it all organized on my YouTube page a while back. Check it out if you'd like a more visual idea of what I mean.
