The State of Your Movie Collection


How would you describe the current state of your movie collection:

(a) Flawless - I can find any movie I want with ease.
(b) Partially under control - I have a rough idea where most movies are.
(c) Absolute chaos - finding a movie is a challenge.

I'm at (b) but I wish I was at (a) and I am sliding closer to (c).

I have no idea where my collectors edition of Friday is and I want to watch it - dammit.

I have 30000 albums and singles. Everything is in alphabetical and chronological order. Same for my massive comic book collection and much smaller film collection.

I hate people like you. Plus, I'm super jealous.

I have a friend who does that and whenever I visit, I take delight in mixing things up when he's not looking.

Just to add to my OCDness, everything is in perfect straight lines, so if someone has touched something, I’ll know, lol.

I also like to put my friend's movies upside down.

A) And I still use "The" as the secondary word.

For example: The Sting goes under S.
The Verdict under V.
Etc.

The only exception I make to this is in having The Beatles Yellow Submarine come first over everything else because it's The Beatles and that is the way it should be.

With my CDs I have The Beatles then AC/DC, The Band etc since The Beatles is the superior and best one over them and everyone else.

Me too. My "t" section would be huge if I didn't do that.

reply

Just because The Beatles is your favorite band it doesn't make them superior to any other band.

reply

They are and that is fact and not opinion.

I am at level (a)

Everything is arranged on shelves by Director, year and genre.

I have every film imaged and entered into the CLZ catalogue app which is great. There you can sort by almost any detail imaginable.

Lots of the movie I watch have been released by many different titles, so inside the case of the dvd, vhs or Blu-ray I place index cards with alternative titles and other notes.

A. My collection isn't that large anyway.

USED TO BE (A)....SINCE THE MOVE TO THE ATTIC AND EXPANSION OF THE COLLECTION SINCE ALI GOT INVOLVED...IT'S A BIG FUCKING (C)...I AM LOSING MY MIND.

reply

You’ve got to get the CLZ app. It even scans barcodes and it unlocks OCD levels I never dreamed possible!

reply

OH..I WANT...YOUR FERVOR ONLY MAKES ME WANT MORE...FIRST I HAVE TO COMMIT TO BULDING ALL THESE SHELVES AND UNBOXING MY SHIT...WHICH IT SEEMS LIKE WE NEVER HAVE TIME TO WORK ON....ALI AND I HAVE MADE A PACT TO GET ON IT THIS YEAR THOUGH.

reply

I’m between A and B. I know approximately where everything is sometimes I have to search a little.

reply

I used to at A but after moving a while back, everything was thrown into chaos.

I've finally made it to B tho. It's not as flawless as I'd like but I know where my shit is.

reply

We have 50 states and not one of them is named, "of Your Movie Collection," you retard.

reply

Since when? It's next to The Carolinas
