Silly Poll - What are your first and last DVDs, alphabetically?

If you alphabetize your DVD collection, go to it and check what your
first and last DVDs are. Mine are:

A.I. and xXx

 

101 Dalmations (or A.I. depending on how you alphabetize
Zulu (or 9/11 Commemorative Edition)

dick

 

American Beauty to the Usual Suspects. (With 61* jumping back and forth,
depending.)

 

Do numbers come first? Some collections automatically put them before
letters...

If so, then mine are '24 Hour Party People' and 'Year of the Horse'. If
not, substitute 'About a Boy' for '24 Hour...'

 

Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein: Comedy Legends to Zu: Warriors From the
Magic Mountain: Hong Kong Legends.

 

Sorry Phatty,
Mine are not alphabatized whatsoever. I use the "Genre" method of
storage, all the horror together, all the action together, drama, etc. Even
then this goes out the window where in some cases all films by an actor or
director are together. For instance, there is the "Kevin Smith" section as
there is a "John Frankenheimer" and "Coen Brothers" section. The "Arnie"
section contains both actioners like T2 but also comedies like "Twins."
Likewise for the Jodie Foster section, serious stuff like "Silence of the
Lambs" is alongside "Foxes." In fact there's a goofy example, because all of
the Hannibal Lecter films are together in the Jodie section <ggg.> Actually
this makes more sense than you might think at first. Let's say you want to
watch a Hannibal movie, you think first of Jodie's Oscar role as Clarice
Starling. Go to the Jodie section and there are all the Hannibal movies.
This is also a rare example of where a Criterion film is stored away from
the Criterion section. Normally all my Criterion's live together, but "SOTL"
lives in the Jodie section. Makes perfect sense, huh? It's call storage by
association <ggg.>
In my case we buy so many movies (well over four thousand now) that it
would be impossible to alphabatize, I'd spend all my time moving the
collection around to make room for something that needs to go in the middle.
All the best, Mike

 

Air Force One & Young Frankenstein

Scott

 

Adaptation and Zelig.

 

I don't have a huge collection, but mine are "Abyss" and "UHF" (or
"Yesspeak" if you want to count music-oriented DVDs).

 

I put my numerical ones in alphabetical order also. For example, "12
Monkeys" goes where "Twelve Monkeys" would go. I think that's how most
video stores do it.

 

101 dalamations and zombie flesh eaters 3

 

First: "24 Hour Party People" or "Akira", depending on the method.
Last: "X-Men".

This, unfortunately, makes my DVD collection look a lot shittier than it
actually is. I also don't shelve them alphabetically, as I find it makes more
sense to group them thematically into sections: film noir, animated, television
shows, foreign, etc. Interestingly, though, the Coen Brothers would seem to
constitute their own genre.

Kevin "Lebowski" Cogliano

 

And numbers?

2 Fast 2 Furious... otherwise, Bourne Identity
X2: X-Men United

 

Mine are _À Nous la Liberté_ and _Zulu_. As endpoints go, I'm pretty happy
with those.

(I have _A.I._, too, but I alphabetise it as if it were _AI_, so it's later
in the "A" section. See the alphabetisation thread at
http://google.com/groups?selm=
for more detail than you could ever want about my organisation system.)

2 Fast 2 Furious or Bad Boys II
XXX

 

28 Days Later, Zardoz

A.I. and Young Sherlock Holmes

 

My DVD Profiler list goes from 12 Monkeys to Zulu. But if you don't
count numbers then the list starts with The Abyss.

Mine are alphabetical within genres, though I currently only have a few
genres (e.g. movies, TV, music).

 

12 Monkeys and Wizard of Oz
