to help find things, for ones that are in special sections, I make a note in my movie collections app.

[@retromediaguy]

First Off I separate the TV Shows from the Movies. Each has their own section. Then I have sections for Animated Movies and TV Shows. Then I sort by genre and then alpha in each one of those sections.

I do the same, keep boutique labels together, though not alphabetically, and then studio releases on another bookshelf. Just looks better like this in my opinion...

[@GCballer307]

My soul really wants to organize my movies chronologically, but I cannot stand franchise movies not sitting together on the shelf so I end up doing it alphabetically

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

Chronologically would be a nice one, and pretty easy to add new movies to!

[@Nemo_Zen]

I've got my collection ordered chronologically. It starts with 1911 L'Inferno and ends with 2023. It's fun to see the development of film over decades.😄

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

Now that must look cool!

[@redwillow79schippers94]

As of now, I have mine sorted by sub genre like haunted house/ghosts, creature features, and so on. I am thinking of changing this but I'm not sure yet

[@eyeballytrauma]

You can do multiple organization styles within one collection too. Like I do it by packaging type first, then by label/studio, then by format with DVDs and VHS completely separate (just talking Blu/4K here), then alphabetical or in rare cases spine number. I love organization, this was a cool vid topic!

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

That’s the best part about it being YOUR collection! Spine number is the one that gets me, it always looks so nice on the shelf,

[@Johnny82Utah]

Mine is organized by theatrical release date, it's how I view movies in general as a moment in time. It's also how I watch movies especially ones in a franchise.

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

I guess that makes it easy to add new movies to the collection, cool way to do it!

[@Johnny82Utah]

@@HunterBoldingVideo another reason I did it, couldn't keep changing 500+ movies it's was making me go mad...

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

I don't have enough boutique labels in my collection and even if i did i still prefer A-Z to make finding a movie easier
P.S I have all my Blu Ray's and 4K's on their own shelves

[@entertainmentforall6609]

Same. Exactly the same. My DVDs are also segregated.

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

I don't fault anyone for sorting their collection how they want to!

[@halloweenlady4073]

I do it by gerna and most people seem confused by it. But if someone gets what I did then I know we shall be friends ha.

[@sageoffire3964]

I have my collections (games and movies/shows) split in two ways.
Both are alphabetical.
Games are separated by system.
Movies/shows are separated by DVD and Blu-ray.

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

I do that with my games too!

[@retrofun41]

Hi, I have a serious question that may be too silly. Everybody seems to put titles with numbers before the A-s. Has anyone considered just spelling out the number and putting it in the appropriate spot?? Peace.

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

You’d have to ask an ancient librarian or something for that! I guess so it fits better with everything else?

[@popey129]

Great tips. Thank you.

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@OzzyMandias]

But part of the fun is spending 20 minutes trying to find the movie you want and in the process finding something else and watching that instead...

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

That ends up happening more often than you think, still. 🤣

[@EsmeraldaBaasch]

I have a dedicated MCU section.

[@HunterBoldingVideo]

When I get more of them, I'll definitely have a dedicated section.

[@fritzthecat8158]

Mcu is trash and they will certainly never be collectable
