Only thing I can't make up my mind on is whether to put films from the same series together even if their titles are pretty different. Like, should I put Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes together? They're not currently but it's kind of bothering me! Always put franchises together. I got Army of Darkness in E, all the Apes in P. Now just to make sure, we all agree that you never file anything under “A” or “The”, right? A Quiet Place goes under Q.

All my Aliens, Godzillas, Star Trek/Wars, etc are together even though alphabetically they should be scattered all over. I also group by director/lead within genres when possible, so all the Jackie Chan action movies are together, all the John Carpenter horror movies are grouped, etc.

B-b-but how will your dad find anything for you when you’re laid up with a thrown out back if it’s all sorted by genre?

For the PotA series I'd file them all under "P" and go chronologically by release (since canon chronology gets wonky with the original series).

I organize alphabetically, but I have a 'to-watch' section separate from the main core for things I haven't gotten around to watching yet.

I put all my dvds and blu rays in a binder two years ago and have yet to open it up since then. Granted I have a separate collection for rare ones but I like it because it’s out of sight out of mind

david_a posted:Out of sight out of mind is kinda my problem with my current storage; I feel bad that I’ve bought all these things I never watch. If I totally put them away I fear it’ll get even worse. Every time I watch a blu-ray let alone a UHD I’m blown away by how much better they look than streaming. Yeah, the last couple days worth of discussion got me to dust-off and reorganize my media shelf. Ended up looking up Vice Principals S2 and when it might be released, and it looks like it will only be released as DVD. So annoying. I hate that Fargo S3 is DVD only and I’m sure Legion S2 will suffer the same fate. And that all sucks because I’m never gonna get full 1080P w/ gently caress off sound via HBO GO or FX NOW.

Look at this pretender. If you're really serious about genre-sorting, Alien and Aliens shouldn't be on the same shelf, since one is clearly sci-fi-horror and the other is sci-fi-action.

I got tired after 25 years of looking at my stuff sorted in alpha, so now I have it by type/genre: -franchise (TV + movie) -TV shows -Children's -Comedy -Drama -Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror Still have the dramady problem. I found most action movies are dramas at heart. Oh yeah, and my formats are mixed together, Blu-ray, DVD, VHS

My Ikea Billy shelves are as follows Current top shelf: Horror Shakespearean adaptations NZ cinema (Manaakitia mai, Aotearoa) Next shelf: Action Crime Next shelf: Comedy/Musical Documentary Noir/Neo-noir Martial Arts Next shelf: Drama Science fiction War Western Animation Next shelf: Auteur section, where the Carpenters, Spielbergs, Scorseses, Coens, PTAs, etc. are collected together Bottom shelf: Various TV shows Elsewhere, films and their sequels are placed together in a bunch of other shelves, so the Rocky/Creed franchise is all together, the Godzillas are all together, the MCU films are together, etc. In cases where the first film of a franchise is directed by an auteur with lesser follow-ups, I make that distinction. For example, Halloween II and the recent Halloween are both in the Horror section, while the original Halloween is in the Auteur shelf with the other Carpenters. One will always trump the other.

The only proper way to organize is by number of actors on the cover. If there are no actors on the poster then I will not buy the movie!

Because blu-ray ended up being a niche format and all the squares still have DVD players. Also Fox gave up on releasing their television properties on blu-ray a long time ago and in many case the physical releases all together. I'm still surprised they bothered with the X-Files.

I had thought Fox stopped all physical releases, which is what surprised me first. On the other hand some shows are really niche shows, and I would expect those shows to be much more appealing to a niche format. As a side note, I really am miffed that Mandy didn't get a UHD release, because that's a movie that really would have benefited from HDR.

I really wanna buy Munchies on bluray, it's such a shameless Gremlins rip-off, and gets hilariously offensive when the munchies start talking like east LA cholos (because they come from South America, you see). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-1jN3UhHCM

Iron Crowned posted:Yeah, that's my problem I start looking at these sales and just get paralysis trying to figure out what I should get It was easy for a while when I first discovered the company, like oh yea ok let me just buy every Carpenter film they have, no brainer. Eventually though after a few years what was left was a ton of other movies that I do want, but yea I can never really make the decisions about what to prioritize. Like, for several years now it's been tough to narrow things down to the 1 or 2 purchases that I like to limit myself to during the Halloween season. Pumpkinhead or Tales from the Hood? Day of the Dead or Candyman? Very difficult. Anyway, I'm off to my adult job that I totally function at and perform at a normal level!
