How Do You Arrange Your DVD Collection?

I go by chronological order of when I bought them.......puts a strain on my memory but you soon start to develop a mental picture of where everything goes. Oddly enough the oldest DVD is "panic room" but the OLDEST is "Citizen Kane" (which lies somewhere in the middle of the shelf) you following me? haha

I sort my DVD's by genre and then sort them alphabetically within each genre... Except for the Stephen King movies which I have in a genre all their own

The Dvd's I watch all the time sit by my tv. The ones I don't watch all the time are thrown randomly in some drawer,

Usually, oddly enough, by the type of case they're in.

Not to say they're organized, though. Right now, the majority of them are laying on my bedroom floor.

However they land on the shelf....

Boxed sets go in their own little area. They're special.

Yep...We're nerds so we take the time to sort ours into alphabetical order.

usually I arrange my DVD's by genre...however I tend to keep my foreign movies (eg/ Japanese ones) separate from the others because my friends are v.particular about what language the films are in. Plus, I enjoy my japanese films alot more than the rest of my collection.

I have a tier type system.

AFI Top 100 films -- at 64 right now, need about 30 more until I have the complete collection.

Box DVD cases - starting off with the WB special editions then usually group by director or genre or however it seems to fit.

Other classic films and director collections.

Good movies

Bad movies

I arrange mine by who owns them. Me, my sister, and the family DVDs. I, of course, have the most. I've gotten away from video games and started buying movies. I got about 30-50 DVDs. My gramps, who's movie crazy, has about a couple hundred movies I think it's more around 200 something. I might be mistake and it could be 150. Basically he's a rental store for me. Lol.

I Arrange them by Color of the Names like White Titles are next to other white titles something like that or i arrange'em by cases like i collect speical editions so the ones with slip off covers like Se7en and Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown go on the bottom but i put my box sets on the bottom like my crow set

I have a little over 100 DVDs and they are all presently in alphabetical order. Once that number starts to grow, I'm sure to be seperating them
alphabetically by genre. I also have another 30-35 vhs tapes that I'm too cheap to convert over. They stay on the top shelf mixed.

This is me also.

Clearly by the cases, looks best, then in order i brought them, recent at the end, easier to arrange when i get new ones

I organize my DVD's by the order in which I get them in. So the newest one will be at the end of the rack and the oldest one at the beginning. The newest Dvd I bought would be Black Hawk Down (i know, kinda old, right? ). But I just started my collection, so don't make fun of me!

Later!

Alphabetically, but I am thinking of regrouping by genre. I generally get in the mood for a certain type of movie, and this would help in picking one out.

Chaos. Pure chaos! This weekend I'm changing that!!! I've got no idea what I have or where it is! To the point I was trying to find Mighty Wind on the weekend and found I have THREE Planet of the Apes box sets. How the frig does that happen???????

Mine are by genre.

I like in the movie High Fidelity when John Cusak's character is sorting his albums autobiographically. Now that would be a challenge. At least I'd know how to get from Billy Elliot to The Commitments.
