on a dvd rack and or shelf.........lol

also if there is a series like say batman or super man i group them to together...

[MisterChristian]

Stored in boxes, some on a coffee table, some on the floor, some on bookcases etc...way too many DVDs. :)

[ElderPredator]

On specially built shelves that I make.

I also organize them by category like Action, Sci-Fi, Horror, History, Comedy, Thriller, TV and Animation.

And do I have a girlfriend you're asking.....no.

[Kevin Smith fan]

I've been trying to think of a good way to categorize my dvd's but haven't really come up with anything. Alphabetical is way too cliche and boring and genres are hard to do with films like Boogie Nights or Beverly Hills Cop. So if anyone has any solid techniques, let me know....
Right now, they're just in the order of the ones I watch the most.

Uhhh....what?

[QUENTIN]

On a tall, wide bookshelf in order of preference from Pulp Fiction to Blood Work. When I'm at school I just take a few hundred of my favorites in a fat CD booklet.

[NathanRomano]

Right now they're just on a DVD rack, alphabetically. But I'm going to get some book shelves from wal-mart. (The kind they have the $5 dvd's on. May be different elsewhere) Then alphabetically with some special dvd's on top, like the new Lebowski limited edition.

[APzombie]

on DVD shelves by genre (alphabetically):

Drama
Horror
Mystery/Suspense
Sci-Fi
Fantasy
Animation
Action
Comic Book
Crime
Comedy
Musical/Music
Western
War
Documentary
Blu-Ray
Martial Art/Samurai
Espionage

and I have four name specific groupings:

Peter Sellers
Martin Scorsese
Robert Altman
Steven Spielberg

this might seem much for a collection of about 800, but i like it.

[athf1980]

Movies- I have them in ABC order except for movies that are part of series. Those are in separte area

Pro Wrestling-I have the WWE PPV in order that they came out. The wrestler documentary are in another shelf.

TV Shows are done in ABC order

[john_rambo]

I do mine in shelves and do them alphabetically, and if they are part of a series i put them after the first movie in the series wherever it falls alphabetically. I also seperate the TV shows.

[SAI]

The bulk of mine are shelved alphabetically, but I've seperated out complete franchises of 3 or more films and certain directors and stars and my Kung Fu movies are on a small carousel.

[SkyNet]

mine are stored by Genre... i got it in this order:

TV Shows
Family Films
Comedy
Action
Drama
Horror
Stand Up Comedy
Various

[SamSanchez]

By genre, with the exception of certain series with spine numbers (i.e. Criterion, Eclipse, Masters of Cinema, Dragon Dynasty, Fox Film Noir, etc..) are in order by the spiner number.

[g1ng3rsnap9ed]

I have a 4 shelfer,so I do a little something like this:

First of all,the franchises.

And from there on,I put them in order for sub-genres:stoner comedy,werewolf,zombi,slasher,film duos,etc.

[tbone]

I'm about to move into a new apt so I might finally settle on something

[Cronos]

Alphamabetically while being spread about in boxes aside from more recent ones that are just stacked on a shelf.

[Nazgul]

I put them on my shelf, organized

[sophia12]

hi, i am 24 years old , so till now , i have a plenty of dvd collections, i have make a site for my collection. also share with friends / i think this is a good way for me to arrange my collection, right?:D

[NathanRomano]

sssssssssssssppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmm

[Country1969]

i gave up a few years ago. When I buy a dvd,I just put it to the last one standing. My family used to come over and borrow them and mess them up on me.

[redfiretruck]

I keep the discs alphabetically in a book.

[Simpdogg420]

I separate mine I put the Blu ray and HD Dvd on a category and put dvd's into two categories movies or TV shows and I have subgroups for my movies such as movie type like superhero or I like to keep movies by the same director like all of my tarrantinos followed by robert rodriguez and so on. A lot of times the first thing i think of when a movie is mentioned is the Director so that is what seems to work the best for me I have to so something because I have a ton The last count was like 1537 or something like that. I have a hardcore addiction.

I keep them stored in two separtes parts some movies and all of my TV shows and Blu-Ray/ Hd Dvd in my living room and then i have a whole seprate room for the movies on regular DVD they are all stored in misc xases and what not.

[Funnyman]

I do A-Z but group sequels together like Every Which Way but Loose and Any Which You Can together.

[darknite125]

On a shelf with box sets and TV shows at the top and everything else is pretty much random except I keep the franchises together.

[mrpink217]

I organize mine using a mishmash of pretty much everything that everyone else uses...

-One big section organized by my favorite directors (alphabettically by director's last name, then by release date)
-Then Oscar winners/nominees (Best Pictures and Best Screenplays only)
-Foreign films
-Criterions
-Comedy (strictly comedies such as Austin Powers, Dumb and Dumber, Animal House, etc.)
-Westerns
-War
-Horror
-Documentary
-Music
-Family
-Kung Fu
-Christmas
-Steven Seagal (no...seriously)
-All other movies are arranged A-Z
-TV DVDs are separate and are split up into Comedy, Drama/Action, and Family/Childhood Favs.

And then I have a spot reserved for 10-15 of my favorite movies on the top shelf.

[Bourne101]

I keep the discs alphabetically in a book.

You don't keep them in cases? To each his/her own, but I couldn't stand the thought.

As for mine, I recently just went from genres to just plain old alphabetical. I think I'll be switching back in the near future.

[addiction]

Most definitely alphabetical order,tried by genre but became way too confusing with the different mixes of genresIMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g89/dvsin10chunz/sideview.jpg[/IMG]

[AshleysDad]

I do it by category on shelves built into a wide double door closet. Each shelf is 7 feet wide.

Top shelf action; three sub categories (Regular action, Buddy Action, Super Natural Action)

Second shelf; two sub categories (Special films or series LOTR, Star Wars, ect) and at the end chick flicks.

Third Shelf; four sub categories (War films, Movie ticket chest half and comedies; classic and current)

Fourth shelf: three sub categories (Thriller, Drama and chick type flicks that I like to watch)

Fifth shelf is anything I could not fit into category like Misc films and Animation films


Top shelf has VHS. Bottoms three shelves have more VHS and CDs.
Pic is 3 years old, but you get the idea.

[axel2k8]

Some of my most recent purchases are in a container together. Most of it is random, but a lot of my horror/psychological thrillers like High Tension, Angel Heart, and The Machinist are together.

[TheMovieManiac]
