I have a collection of about 800 movies. Not an enormous amount compared to some but I am starting to encounter a slight difficulty which the owners of larger collections must surely have found to be a real puzzle: How do you select which movie to sit and watch tonight? Do you have some sort of system and, if so, how does it work?
Some people might think: "Why have a system? Just watch whatever suits your mood." Well, I do that, often. Trouble is, then I tend to gravitate naturally to my favourites or to acknowledged classics like 'Lawrence of Arabia' or 'Lord of the Rings' and might overlook other, less famous titles. To ensure equal play for all my DVDs, blockbusters, B movies, independents and otherwise, I started watching them in chronological order starting in the 1930s but, at my current rate of viewing three or four discs per week, it's going to take me years to reach 2009 - and beyond!
So, if anyone has a suggestion or a system I'd be interested to hear about it. Or do I need to get out more?
