Like others have mentioned, I often find myself "in the mood" for a certain type of movie; a western, a sci-fi flick, a horror film, etc so I organized my collection by genre and sub-genre.
I keep Collections, i.e. Bond, Diry Harry, The Marx Brothers together and find that I often use a boxed collection as a book-end or spacer between genres.
Yes, it is difficult defining certain movies, but since it is my collection I make the choice. For instance, if I think something is more of a comedy then a drama, I put it in the comedy section. Works for me.
My genres are:
Contemporary Comedy
Older/Classic Comedy
Westerns
War
Horror
Science Fiction
Comic Book - Superman, Batman, X-Men, Spiderman, etc.
Fantasy - Conan, Excalibur, Harry Potter, etc.
Contemporary Action/Adventure
Older Action/Adventure
Contemporary Drama
Older Drama
Television
Sports
Musicals
Animation
Holiday
Documentaries
I once used an online dvd database, but I stopped using it some time ago and can't even remember the name.
I've thought about making my own database in Excel, but just can't see myself manually entering all that information. I really wish there was something comparable to DVD Pedia for Windows. Using a scanner to input my collection would be a huge time saver.
