There are various strategies I've taken to do this, but am curious how others have approached the weeding process?
In the past two-ish years I’ve both set up a Plex server and ripped most of my discs to it, and moved. That presented a natural opportunity to do some weeding. If I went to rip the disc and realized I was unlikely to ever watch it again, I didn’t bother and got rid of it. And when I was packing to move, if I couldn’t imagine taking it out of the box to watch it, I left it behind.
Prior to that move I had been in my last place six years so that’s a good amount of time to say “if I didn’t watch it once during that period, if I didn’t even think of watching it once, maybe it can go”.
At a certain point I also had to kinda learn to say to myself, “yes, that’s a great movie, but it’s not one I ever watch, so maybe the movie being great isn’t enough of a reason to hold onto it”.
