Right now I have over 1,000 DVDs, which includes movies, TV, specials, porn, etc... I also have over 2,600 wrestling titles on DVD.
I worked in the video rental/sales business for 13 years & would get roughly 5-10 screeners a week. I had 6 big book cases & about 15 wooden peach crates all filled with tapes. Every shelf was full and then I had tapes stacked sideways in front of the others stacks. Then I had over 800 blank tapes with 3-4 movies on each tape.
I ended up selling or taping over most of the screeners and throwing out most of the blank tapes just because I didn't have the room anymore & I figured everything would eventually be on DVD. I'm still kicking myself for doing it since I had a lot of movies that you just cannot find anywhere.

wow... you guys have a lot of movies... So here is a question? How do you organize them? For me with just a couple hundred I First sort them by case style. Normal DVD cases first, then Snapper Cases, then box sets. Then alphabetize each section.

I aplhabetize too! My husband thinks thats so anal retentive (my daughter , who is 8, does it too) He makes jokes that when I put the groceries away I alphebetize them!
The other day I looked at my VHS collection, which I recently "downsized" and was shocked to see theres over 100 in there. (About 130) and I have even more DVD so i'm guessing about 200 or more (Maybe I'll count this weekeend). He says I have a lot but to me it doesn't look like so much.
I keep VHS in one drawer and DVD in another.
Believe it or not, we went to a marraige counselor awhile back and this was one of the things he said that drove him crazy about me. "She collects movies and cds" SO WHAT? That is the worst thing The Man could think to say about me???

......Heres another question: Is it mostly "Old Stuff?" I think my husband gets mad that all my stuff is 70s and 80s. He's like "Lets watch the new Wil Smith movie" and I'm like "Nope!" and I would rather watch NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET for the millionth time. That drives him nuts!

Well I would say that mine is a pretty odd blend. Its about 30 percent old stuff, 25 percent Kids movies, 25 percent TV Box Sets, and then the rest is newer stuff.
Kids movies are always worth the money I spend on them, because the kids will watch them again and again. Also, I just LOVE TV Box Sets... I'm only sad I cant really afford to buy most of the ones I want and they put em out so fast and then they go out of print and I'm left thinking DAMN.

So I seriously hope he is joking and you dont actually alphabetize the groceries.
But seriously people tell me its anal, but when you have 200+ movies who wants to dig around for forever trying to find just the one you want? There comes a point where your collection reaches a certain size and you must approach it with a certain level of organization. Otherwise its a waste.

I was running out of space for my collection so I bought CD wallets that hold 200 discs each and stored all my discs alphabetically in there and keep all the boxes in storage in my garage. Saves room and means when you look through the books you are more likely to see what you own rather than when you are scanning the shelves.

Ive wanted many times to sort my movies by genre too. But then I start getting Obsessive compulsive about what genre certain movies fall in and every few days I change my mind and move them from one to the other... so to save myself the insanity I just alphabetize. But I definately dont mix snapper cases in with normal dvd cases... that just looks tooooooooo ugly.

It would take us too long to post them all anyway!
Posting them by genre is hard cuz alot of the ones I consider "cult" are also "horror" movies...so ...where do I put them? Alphabetical order is the best way. The other day I went to pull one out and that whole stack fell over. But it was easy to put everything back where it was...cuz its in alphabetical order. I imagine when your digging through an unorganized pile you knock a lot more stuff over.

I used to watch EDDIE MURPHY DELERIOUS a lot but I havent watched it in awhile (Have to crack that one out again soon!) EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD 2 are favorites too.

Mamamiasweetpeaches I can totally relate to the story about your husband getting mad that you would rather watch "Nightmare on Elm Street" then a new dvd. I have about 200 dvd but recently started purchasing 80's horror dvd's weekly. I would say I'm buying about 6 a week. For the past couple months my fiance would be like lets go rent a movie. And i tell him, let's just watch The Gate or Trick or Treat i just got it in the mail. It drives him crazy.
I told him too if that's the worst thing you can say about me then you are one lucky guy.
The movie I probably have watched a million times would be "Sixteen Candles", "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".
I've been having so much fun recently buying dvd's and starting a collection. It's all i talk about!!!!!

Well well... I just counted em, and I now have 162 movies. Remember, I'm 19 years old, and I haven't been collecting for that long! Anyway, to the question how I organize em, I have a long answer, heh. First I have the dvd boxes on my shelf, then I have some movies organized by the actor.
Sly Stallone Al Pacino Clint Eastwood Kevin Costner Andy Garcia Jean-Claude Van Damme
Then, I had em arranged by the release years, but I changed em in alphabetical order, and now I'm changing em again back to release years, so that all the 80s movies are in the same place, cos I'm often looking for em. It's not easy to find movies when they are in aphabetical order even though you might think so. It gets kinda difficult when some of the titles are in English and some of em are in Finnish, and I remember some titles only in English and some only in Finnish. So, I always look in the wrong place. So, arranged by the release year I find my dvds pretty easily cos I have a good memory with em.
