Show Off Your Movie & TV Collection

No,its pretty gross. BUT you make a good point about the incentive to upgrade, and in fact I actually had them mixed when I started with blu as well, until it reached a point I couldn't take it anymore and had to separate them.

My preference is to have the Blurays and DVDs separate, and up until recently that's how I kept things.  While I'd like to replace everything with Bluray, that's just not practical.  I'll occasionally replace a DVD with a Bluray if most of the other films on a particular shelf are all Bluray.  For example, I intend to eventually get X3 on Bluray, since all of my other X-Men fillms are Blu.  It's not a priority though, because X3 sucks.  I'll wait until I find it really cheap.

I first began putting movie related items on my shelves and displaying movies with the cover facing outward just to take up enough space to fill a shelf.  After my collection grew and I could do away with the knick-knacks and visible covers, I didn't care for the way the shelves looked anymore and switched back.  Unfortunately, I'm almost out of space to keep displaying them this way.  Since many of my box sets are of the extra-wide variety, I'm considering buying some multi-disk jewel cases and repacking them into those.  Most of these same sets are sold this way now, and the images of the case inserts are on the internet.  I can fit three multi-disk jewel cases in the same space currently being taken up by one box set from ten years ago.

I don't know, it's getting harder and harder to sell DVDs.  The people who still care about physical media are collectors who want brand new pristine copies and cheapskates looking for bargain basement prices. You might get $10 each for the TV sets, don't expect much of anything for the individual flicks.

I just asked 80 for the lot. We'll see.

Oh two more points. I also noticed you dont have Dark Knight. Weird.

And I had no idea the Incredible Hulk case was green instead of blue. That is awesome.

Here's my collection with my new shelves.

I remember a time when I had a movie shelf like that.  It was a good time.  A simpler time. 

I can't help but notice that a number of your movies have French titles on them.  Are you Canadian or French? 

What, if any method do you use to organize them?  The TV shows are clearly all together, but it falls apart from there.  I see Pixar movies clustered together, except for Wall-E.  I see sci-fi movies in a cluster, but not entirely.  You have both The Matrix and Dark City, but they're in different places despite being pretty much the same movie (admitedly, I do as well, but in my case one is on bluray while the other is on dvd).  There seems to be an intent towards order, but it may be one geared towards your personal preferences that others won't see.  I'm not criticizing, just curious.

Yeah, I'm Canadian.  The French titles are annoying.

I do have an organization method but its hard to explain.  I basically have subsections which are usually genre based, but sometimes spread out as well.  For example, I have 3 or 4 sci-fi sections.  And I wanted Walle with sci-fi instead of animated because, well, I just did.

Anyway, here's the rest.

I bought Jurassic Park and The Lost World at Wal-Mart for $7.88 each. I almost bought Jurassic Park III but the ghost of IanTheCool came to me and advised me against it.





Also, happy 10th anniversary to Batman Begins.



Forgive the quality. I posted that in 2012 at the old thread.

The special features were too good to pass up.

I still have my VCR but it doesn't connect to my modern TV. I guess I need an adapter or something.
