Good eye!

When we took our 2018 UK vacation, I did the Scotch Whiskey Experience in Edinburgh, Scotland with a flight of whiskey tasting. Found I like the Auchentoshan American Oak Whiskey. I have a small bar in my movie room, and keep that whiskey stocked.

I remember reading that and that’s why I asked. I keep meaning to get a bottle of that to try.

Sorry to hear I can't do anymore get togethers with you, but hope you enjoy Washington!

Thanks man. I had fun with our get togethers!

The discussion of (a) complex, multi-faceted, deeply organized, special-cased storage methdology vs (b) chaos reaffirmed my life decision to rip all my discs.

Touche!

 

[Brian Dobbs]

This is doable, I've done it.

Dave is the rip master!

Several years ago I had to forego putting my collection on display and into accessible long boxes. I keep a spreadsheet of the titles, so everything is in alpha order. The releases in special packaging have be stored differently, but those aren't too many.

How do you deal with additions?

 

[Citizen87645]

I did a purge a couple years back and that cleared out a lot of space. Also, I think having limited space has helped me focus on what I really want as once I got them in boxes I said, "ok, 35 boxes should probably be the limit."

Also, I should clarify the majority of titles are in storage sleeves, not amaray cases, so that adds more space.

BTW, when we show guests around the house, they usually assume all those boxes are filled with my wife's shoes.

Nothing fancy at my house. Movies, TV Shows, Special Interest, and Music in their own sections sorted A-Z in IKEA bookshelves. Marvel MCU is mixed in alphabetically (but I'm thinking of changing that), but Star Wars and Star Trek (movies and TV are combined) are filed in chronological order under movies, while Firefly and Serenity are filed under TV. Everything is tracked in My Movies Pro database software, including digital copies, allowing us to keep track of what service a movie or TV series we own is available on. The software also allows us to keep track of who we loaned a disc out to.

HTF needs a "Wow!" reation!

HTF needs a "Wow!" reation!

Uuuuh, yeah! Wow indeed!

For those wanting to have easier categorization of their digital movies, Vudu does have a "My List" feature in which you can create an unlimited number of lists of movies from your library. I've created lists based on franchise (Die Hard, Marvel, Mission: Impossible, etc.), kid-approved movies (for Family Movie Night, as I do not always trust Vudu's "family" rating), and Standard Def movies that require upgrades should they ever go on sale.

Hmm...I'm not sure what the title means. Kids shows? Animation?
