Nate RFB posted:I did a weird mixture of title alphabetical and director alphabetical for when I had a lot of any particular one (such Kurosawa), but it got too troublesome after a while so now I just have everything by title. That's exactly what I do for the most part. Guys like Kurosawa, Kubrick, Lean, Scott, P.T Anderson, Bergman, Cohen Brothers and John Carpenter get their own section. Everything else by title.

I just put my discs in the shelf with no organization. Sometimes, sequels end up next to each other. I don't know why Ratatouille is next to Gran Turino but I do know that it's there.

Basebf555 posted:What can I say, I enjoy organizing and reorganizing my collection and then staring at it lovingly. I'm not a healthy person. I'm just giving you poo poo.  Mine is a weird mix of title alphabetical with some series story-chronological (Prometheus-AvP movies-Alien series, or Red Dragon-Silence-Hannibal, to name examples). That's largely how Blockbuster used to do it. I worked for them for like 7 years, old habits die hard I guess.

My discs are in a binder, the booklets that are actually worth keeping around are in a box somewhere. I've moved a lot, gently caress cases

Yea I really enjoy having them on a shelf that's in my living room so when I'm lounging on the couch I can just look over and see them all and pick something out. I don't mess around with weird shaped cases though, no matter how cool they may look. I like to have a neat looking shelf with everything more or less lining up properly. Steelbooks are ok though.

Before I was married, I opted for chronologically (followed by alphabetically), but I keep it alphabetical now. Having Criterions organized on a shelf looked beautiful. I'm working on moving the rest of my discs to binders for space reasons with cases in storage. I'm opting for a totally alphabetical layout for ease of use, including Criterions. Then, a separate binder for TV and another for shorts. No segregation for DVD and Blu-Ray. (Part of this has to do with my wife and I consolidating our collections. I decided not to be a jerk and not separate, which allows for the amusing sight of True Grit and UHF bookending the Twilight movies)

Alphabetical by director's last name and then chronological within each director's ouvre for directors I follow, then huge chunks by label (Criterion, Masters of Cinema, etc.) or series (Marvel movies, Star Wars, James Bond, etc.) or genre (comedies, horror, scifi). It's basically sorted by what I care most about for any given movie, resulting in a system that works for me but seems super arbitrary to others. The Shining is horror, sure, but I care much more that it's a Kubrick movie. Rosemary's Baby is again horror, and also Criterion, but again, director. The Ring is an awesome horror movie, but I don't give a poo poo about the cannon of Gore Verbinski, so that's just in horror. The NIc Cage section though.... that's where even I begin to doubt whether is a method to my madness. No Jenna Malone section at least. edit: I mix DVDs in there, and will do the same for UHD. Content is king. The whole DVD / BD dividing line is a bit arbitrary when it comes to an individual's collection, in my opinion at least. The BD format contains gorgeous 4k scans of some movies, as well as lovely 2k transfers from the year 2000 with baked in EE and DNR and poo poo. I have the best version available of movies I like, and sometimes that best version happens to be a DVD. Neo_Reloaded fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Dec 5, 2015 |

CPL593H posted:It sounds like instead of consolidating your collections you should have just thrown hers into the garbage. Different tastes. She got me the Jacques Tati box for Christmas last year. The 2-parter of Twilight is a genuinely good movie, though. I don't think there's as much of a quality disparity between originals and sequels like that except for maybe Ghost Protocol.

Xenomrph posted:No, and you missed out since the 25th anniversary version was like $10 on Amazon for Black Friday. Nah Black Friday is a waste of time all day all ways. I worked in retail for 15 years so there's no way I'm interrupting my Black Friday tradition of "sit on my rear end and watch movies while drinking all day" to save $4. Plus if something is $13 and change on Amazon like Akira is right now it's going to be in the single digits after Christmas when I actually do get around to any personal shopping.

But it's Amazon, you click 3 buttons and the movie gets nailed to your house, and then you resume drinking and watching movies  The Akira deal got posted in this very thread and it lasted all day (that's where I heard about it), it's not like you had to camp Amazon like a hawk and jump on a 10-minute-only Lightning deal or some poo poo.

A whole bunch of the Twilight Time blu-rays are on sale for ten bucks each. There's too many to list but some noteworthy titles on the list are Inherit the Wind, Fat City, Zardoz, and Emperor of the North.

Zardoz is slooooow but awesome. I'm glad more recently I've seen people see it for the first time and approach it on a level other than huuurrrr this makes no sense Sean Connery looks funny. The early parts of the movie right after the gun scene ends feels sooooooo long though.Xenomrph posted:But it's Amazon, you click 3 buttons and the movie gets nailed to your house, and then you resume drinking and watching movies
