Although my DVD population isn't really that awesome, I've accumulated enough DVDs for me to be bothered by this:
How in hell do I arrange my DVDs?
This really got me thinking since I started to place all my DVDs in a large enopugh shelf space. Would I arrange them alphabetically? Nah, too easy. How about by dte of purchase? It might prove difficult to search for a DVD if the collection grows larger. By genre, then? Some movies cross genres, so how do I arrange that? How about by DVD publisher (like put all Warner Bros snapper cases together, all Criterions together, etc.)? Or by filmmaker (put all Kevin Smith movies here, Rob Reiner films there...)? Or by UPC? Or from greatest to suckiest? Or by random, using a series of Fourier Transforms of Fibonacci-based equations derived from statistical graphs of how many people think The Rock a) sucked, b} ruled, and c) can't decide?
So far, the only arrangement I am satisfied with is putting all my X-Files boxed sets in a separate shelf. :)
You're right, I'm a bit obsessive compulsive, but I'm pretty sure you had the same problem at some point in your collecting. :P
HELP! :o
-
i used to arrange my dvds by alphabetical order but got tired of that. now my dvds are arranged by what i would sell to would watch next w/ the inc. odd case type
and what would get ruin the most (i keep the more "rare" dvd in the middle and the less valueble kind on the sides, kinda like chess.) :) strange ain't it?
-
I just place them in my cabinet with the special covers wrapped inside a separate plastic container to prevent scratches and other possible damage.
I don't have much DVDs yet but I'm always in search of a good shelf for it. One that will keep it from dirt and yet keep is organized in a certain manner.
-
I have two small shelves/bookcases for my dvds. I arrange them by studio. The Warner dvds are easy to arrange since all in snapper cases. Then, all the Universal titles, MGM, Dreamworks (just a few...), etc. They look better with all the logos, pictures in almost a straight line when you arrange them by studio. Plus, you can put a particular director's films side by side when possible. (I like looking at my Woody Allen dvds :); Scorcese gives me a headache though since his films are produced by different studios.) Of course this way, it's difficult to pick a title if you're in a mood for a certain genre. So, at least, I put all my concert and music dvds together since these are the most played. Boxsets are separate, they're on the lowest rung since they come in different sizes.
When I get new dvds, I put them on the "tail end." After I watch them, I insert them into the studio slots which means I have to move dvds around. ;D I'm not complaining.
I rather arrange and rearrange dvds than have a static collection.
-
i have 3 bookcase of dvd's, one in the living room
and the other two are in my study or computer room.
the one in the living room is pretty much divided by my
dvd's on the upper shelves and the two bottom shelves are for my daughters dvd's.
these dvd's that are in the living room are the more recent release , childrens, concert and karaoke dvd's.
the dvd's in my study are basically arranged alphabetically.
i have the dvd's with the amray case on one bookshelf and the dvd's with the snapper case on another bookshelf
so as to have a more uniform look on the dvd's...
i also separate my anime ,kung fu and box set dvd's with the rest.
i know this is not the best way to arrange dvd's since most of the times i'm going back and forth trying to find a dvd.
unless someone here can suggest a better way...
-
For now, sabug-sabog pa ang DVDs ko, pero By Genre ang planong pag ayos ko. Kung may pagkakataon.
-
I just arrange them by the titles aphabetically, regardless of genre, dvd cases or production company. It's easier to locate the movie if I wanted to watch it again for the nth time. Besides, the variety in dvd casing not all aligned together or as smooth as others gives the arrangement personality I think. Placing dvds with same cases in one place looks monotonous to me after trying it for a couple of days. I try not to cramp them altogether though so the dvds with weak cases don't get squeezed pretty tight.
Benny's idea of arranging them by filmmaker is pretty good. And like him, I like Woody Allen too.
How about arranging them by their edition? Like all Criterion in one place, Special in another, Platinum next, or just simple releases .... alphabetically. Hmmm.. that sounds like a good idea .... let me try that and see how it looks. Tata ! ;D
-
bro,
i arrange it via date of purchase, then if keep or snap casing para pantaypantay kasi yung keep case okey lang but the snap ay kailangan ay maingat ka kasi exposed na agad yung carton/label nya eh, kaya as much as possible ay nakalagay pa din sa original celophane or i will buy an individual plastic per case na resealable.
nagpagawa din ako ng mga sticker label sa ROBEE para personalized kasi lahat ng disc ko ay may purchase date, place, and the price para alam ko pa rin kung magkano ko siya nabili pag tagal ng panahon.
iba din ang compilation ng per region.
thanx,
vax
-
I arrange it in Alphabetical Order and in Category. So far I have three categories:
1) DVD Movies
2) Animated DVD
3) Musical DVD
I think I'm ok about it
-
according to the size of the casing. Since I only have 40 disc its so easy to remember I dont really have to arrange it.
-
May bago na akong arrangment. I already have 2 rows of DVDs in my cabinet.
The first row which in the bukana is where my prized collections are like the criterion, UEs, 2-discs, and special cases - para kita ko kaagad.
Sa likod na yuong ibang DVDs ko.
-
I stacked them up! Thso which were my Favorites are at top, while the seldom watched dvds are at the bottom
But somehow I saw this thread that does not recommend stacking dvds:

Bump ^
-
;D ;D ;D
WOW meron pa lang thread na ganito!!
Thanks benny for the bump!!
Arrange....alphabetically....but I separate the ones that kids love to watch and arrange them alphabetically also!! two shelves only...konti lang eh!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I arrange my collection alphabetically. It makes it easy to find things, keep track of what's missing, and I don't mind moving things around when I add to my collection :)
-
arranged like books on a shelf. biggest case to the left and smaller cases to the right. tin cases and special cases to the left. snap cases to the far right. other than that, foreign films stick together; mainstream together. since they're quite few, at this point, need not be alphabetical. rearrange them a bit within their sections at times just for fun and see how they look from afar.
-
May bago na naman akong arrangement.
I placed all my collectibles, especially those with metal tin cases, special cases (like boxed set) sa front row with the cover facing forward (parang mga showcased books). Sa likod niya yuong mga ibang collectibles na medyo dark background to give a dim effect.
These are of course enclosed in a glass cabinet para hindi alikabukin.
The rest, I arrange like books in a separate shelf.
I eventually remove one from the main display everytime I get a new DVD.
I use a dehumidifier na rin to minimize moisture in the cabinets.
-
Like my 500 or so CDs, arranging DVDs to achieve some degree of retrieving convenience is a headache at the start but after a while I get used to it.
I classify my DVDs as follows;
(1) Jazz, Pop Concerts & MTVs - and among them alphabetically by artist.
(2) Classical Symphonic performances - among them alphabetically by composer
(3) Animation and Kidstuff (Mullan, Toy Story, Cats & Dogs, Stuart Little) - no particular arragement within coz there's only about 30 of them
(4) Warner Bros (snapper case - looks nice in a row) - no particular arrangement as I have only about 30 of them.
(5) Action blockbusters (sequels together)
(6) Sci-Fi (sequels together)
(7) Drama (contemporary & period)
(8) Comedy(contemporary and period)
(9) Musicals (very few)
(10) Oldies (mostly 40s and 50s, just starting)
Having this in mind, its difficult to be strict about this. Like AI which is both drama and Sci-fi. And some like AMADEUS is both drama and musical. Perhaps as my collection further grow I might add OSCAR winners (like BEN HUR, UNFORGIVEN, the Godfather), Period classics (like BARRY LYNDON and THE LAST TEMPTATION). And among those in snapper case, there's a mix of these. Actually, I could think of a lot of classification and end up with just 2 titles or so for each. So far those are the ten classifiations I have for which I use some very heavy object/figurine/vase as separator on the shelf. Looks nice from a distance.
-
I arrange it in Alphabetical Order...
I think thats the best way for my collection...
8) 8) 8) ;D 8) 8) 8)

I arrange my DVD's alphabetically. 8)

i bought a cabinet from dimensione, but i am having problems with it. although the shelves are adjustable, i always end up with a slot that would fit two rows of dvds plus another layer on top.(magulo ba?) ??? , so i have a row of dvds behind, a row at the front, and another row on top of them. somehow, this leaves those dvds at the back unmanageable and out of sight :-\ . anyway, i thought this cabinet was enough but somehow i may have to buy another one soon. thanks to pinoydvd ::)
BTW i arrange my dvds like this : criterion titles on top shelf, action/adventure on 2nd and 3rd, boxed on the 4th, and horror on the bottom :)
-
pag meron akong time by genre, pag walang time rumble na sila! ;D
-
Alphabetical and put them in these containers :)

Cool storage diver. Magkano naman yan at san mo nabili? Mukhang mamahalin kasi Rubbermaid. Dalhin kaya natin sa Orocan Co. para makopya ;D
Collect to Collect!
Degs
-
Interesting, diver.
Where did you get them & how much?
At ilang single-disk cases ang kasya sa isang box?
-
It fits 27 DVDs ... P474.75 @ True Value
Kaso lang nga wala na sa True Value in Alabang and Park Square 1 Makati :(
Degs, ako game ako dyan sa Orocan ha , the cheaper the better pero siyempre dapat kuha talaga nila yung design or much better pa ;D

if you guys are interested in the rubbermaid cases i have two extra pieces left. bought 8 of them last november. willing sell it for same price.
just send me a pm
-
Kahit papaano is ok lang. As long as they are neatly stored and I could find which movie I want to watch easily... ;)
-
I first try to arrange my DVDs into two: Keep case and Snap case. Then, in each I separate them by 3 genres. 1. Basta may real actors, ordinary movie; 2. Animation, and 3. Musicals.
I keep my DVDs (kaunti pa lang naman, eh) in my side table, to prevent sun and air exposure/damage. ;D ;D ;D
-
i'm thinking of sorting my DVDs according to packaging. snap cases together, keepcases on the other side.
pwede rin by region.
pero parang mas logical kung by category. (eh pano kung di ko alam ang category? should harry potter be classified under KIDS or under FANTASY? how do we diffentiate ACTION from ADVENTURE?)
alphabetical na nga lang siguro. ;D ;D ;D
-
Randomly
-
Arranged in colors. black with black, red with red and so on.
-
by region naman ako. kaunti pa lang naman yung akin kaya wala pa akong problem sa lalagyan.
pero like flyderman, nakahiwalay lahat ng XF boxed sets ko. may individual plastic at nakatago pa sa drawer ;D kaya lang, 6 lang ang kasya sa drawer kaya pag nabili ko na yung S7, isip na naman ako kung san ko ililipat.
-
Me and my wife arrange ours as "him" and "her" in a wooden cabinet with rest of our movies on tape, and games discs. Although I occupy more of the space than her. Her lates buy was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" which was released just this week. ;D
-
Nag pgawa kc ako ng TV cabinet and I placed my DVD's there on the side and I arranged in by regions. Kaunti plang nman ang collection ko that's way I have no problem so far arranging my DVD's.
-
Alphabetically. Para feeling nasa bookstore ako. :-*
Seriously, I tried rearranging them by color, studio, director, genre, packaging, etc. and ended up thinking how inadequate my collection is. Kakadepressing. :'( Siguro pag madami na, I'll try again.
-
alphabetically arranged... 8)
then i have a small notebook at dun nakasulat mga titles...
pag may hihiram ill write it down sa notebook, the dvd borrowed with matching signature of the person who borrowed it...
mostly brother ko nagpapahiram...lagot siya pag me scratch yun! kaya wala siyang excuse dahil naka sign siya sa notebook ko...hehehe ;D
-
sa umpisa by genre, kaso pag wala ng time RUMBLE na sila! ;D

ang bait mo naman. nagpapahiram ka ng dvd.
one time i found out na nagpahiram ng vcd utol ko sa barkada nya, pinagalitan ko.
but now ok na lang cos i don't buy vcds anymore. pero off limits pa rin silang lahat sa dvds ko. i always let them hear me say na mahal ang bili ko, so sila na mismo ang tumatangging magpahiram. ;D

Kung saan me available na space, siksik ;D ;D

I arrange them according to my Favorites. Yung mga hindi ko gusto (as in napilitan lang bilhin or given as a gift), i placed it sa likod ng mga favorite kong DVD kung saan di makikita.

According to packaging type.
Snappers in one drawer
Keepcases in another
box sets together
and a partridge in a pear tree

That's the same way I arrange mine also. First I group them according to packaging - snapper, keepcase & boxsets then I seperate the concerts from films and documuntaries and finally arrange them alphabetically.
I keep them all on a hanging bookshelf na pinagawa just for my DVD collection.
:)
-
I arrange mine by importance :D all my reference video (superbits) and audio (dts-es) epic type/ sequels (starwars, the mummy, jurassic park) then the really cool action flix the matrix, terminator, die another day.. etc. then all the way down to comedies. Kinda weird how i arrange it, but... the more frequent I watch the DVD the higher it is up the rack. syempre mga reference discs ko ;D
-

Di pag madalas mo palang pinapanood eh napo-promote pataas sa rack mo jpadua...
Kinda like climbing up the dvd ladder. ;D

Heheh parang ganun na nga... I always end up re arranging my collection heheh, so If lets say makuha ko na yung R1 Daredevil na DTS ko... promote kaagad! hehe
-
I arrange mine by movie classification (sci-fi, action, etc.).
I hate it when guests start to look at the DVDs then mess the arrangement up.

I've seen your collection Jay. I thought you arranged your dvds by leaving the most watched on the floor. ;)

Hey Spartacus... yeah yeah I know! but now I have mini chair beside the TV where I put the most recent watched DVDs ... hey you caught my dvd's on the carpet! and they were inside their cases, and they were stacked too hehehe
-
Like a lot of you here..I arrage it by Case..i.e. Keep Case or Snap Case...
Kaso my wife is a little obsie heheh..kaya she arranges it pa alphabetically..well..at least mas mabilis na pag hinahanap ko :)
I use 4 box-drawers yung semi-transparent na box from dimensione..used to be lalagyan ng damit ng baby ko..pero we were able to buy her a cabinet so lalagyan ko na ngayon ng DVD's
Peace 8)
-
alphabetically.
movies on one shelf, concerts and music on another shelf.
-
alphabetically ... para mas madaling maghanap... ;D
-
Alphabetiacally would be nice. Pero siguro pag may one thousand na ;D.
In the meantime, i just segregate the animated titles into a dedicated shelf layer - classifed into Disney and non-Disney (including snapper cased titles)
The other titles i arranged into snapper cased and amray cased titles. Each classified into oldies and newbies(for want of better term),
Then i have a separate shelf layer just for Oscar winning films (wala pang one dozen ata).
Among the newbies i have a separate shelf space for action/fantasy/sci-fi and another for comedy/romance/drama/detective titles.
-
My boxsets are in a display cabinet beside my HT gear and those in regular DVD cases are arranged alphabetically to search titles easily.
-
I'm a beginner in DVD arrangement. I arrange mine by classification.
1 side whole original DVD cartoons ( Walt Disney, etc.,)
1 side whole concerts
1 side the rest whether drama, action, comedy, etc.
Hiwalay sila sa mga pirated copies ko.
-
My collection is stored in those plastic sliding boxes you can buy at the malls and I stacked them up into 8 levels(can fit 32-36 DVDs each).
I classify them by the ff:
Action/Thriller
Suspense/Drama
Fantasy/Adventure
Sci-fi & Anime
Comedy/Musical
Local & Foreign
Family/Disney & Cartoons
Concerts/Demo discs & Special Interest
Movie Series (e.g. James Bond, Jack Ryan)
TV/Movie Boxed Sets
-
alphabetically
dati mga book and nasa shelves ng room ko...
now mga dvds na!!! ;D ;D
-
as much as possble should be this way:
concerts
cartoons/disney
Filipino films
and the rest rumble na sila! ;D
-
My collection isn't as extensive as compared to a lot of people here but i arrange them this way....
Concerts / Musicals
Fantasy / Science Fiction
Action / Comedy
Drama
PLUS ...
All the Warner dvds are grouped together w/o the genre classification because of the snap case that they use which i totally hate >:( since it is so much harder to take care of.
-
My DVDs are stored in clear plastic sleeves (courtesy of ma'am diver :)) to protect the cases from dust and scratches.
As to the arrangement, i may be starting to give up on this because of the countless times i have re-arranged my dvds!!! dati alphabetical... tapos naging chronological... tapos by manufacturer... naging by color scheme pa yata eh...
As of my last check, by genre yata sila nakaayos ngayon...
- Fiction (i.e. LOTR, Star Wars)
- Action (i.e. Spiderman, Daredevil)
- War (i.e Black Hawk Down, We Were Soldiers)
- Cartoons (i.e. Toy Story 2-pack, Ice Age)
- Concerts (i.e. The Corrs, Josh Groban, Destiny's Child)
- "Others" (eto yung mga hindi bagay itabi dun sa iba, hehe)
To think na wala pang 40 pcs yung collection ko!!! ;D
I suppose arranging our dvds is more of an art than an exact science. :)
-
(http://)
I use to arrange them by category! :)
-
Film DVDs
vs.
TV/Docu DVDs
vs.
Concert/Music DVDs.
-
the best is to arrange your dvd by genre. then make a masterlist of the dvd you already have para madali mo lang ma retrieve yung movie na gusto mong panoorin. You might as well put label or sticker sa tabi ng title para ma identify mo agad. hope this helps. :)

I sort and arrange mine as fallows - Box Sets together, Snap Cases or warner releases together too, and the rest of keepcases are sorted by live action movies alphabetically, cartoons and animes are stock together also and same as for concerts.
Now Im considering arranging them by genre, but I have a question what do you do if a certain title have cross genre, how do you sort that out? What genre do you prioritize?
-
in my opinion ;D... it's not the way how you arrange it, but what is comfortable with you ;)
mine have no specific arrangement, but i'm very much satified how it were put at the moment, ika nga eh gamay ko na sya ;D ;D
-
I had a DVD rack custom made to fit in the side of my HT room which can hold up to 100 DVDs per row x 4 rows.
I tried arranging it in alphabetical order but then when a new DVD arrives lipat na ang dulo ng DVD ng row 1 sa row 2 and the others follow. Toxic talaga!
As of now: Single discs in alphabetical order, boxed sets are separate.
Maybe I will let go of the alphabetical thingie and add the new ones at the end of the last DVD bought. Tama na ang ka-oc-ocan! >:(
-
according to the size of the casing.
Agree akoh 'jan!
Funny how relevant this is as I am making a catalogue of my DVD collection! Peroh at the same time categorised. Box sets with box sets mapa-Godfather or South Park, magkaka-dikit ang mgah 'yan! Tanging separate lang ay ang music DVDs e.g. Jamiroquai Live at Verona, Simply Red GH, etc. Alphabetical, syempreh!
Book shelves are the best and more economic place to keep them (or display them)... vertically! I make sure too that I only open the original plastic wrapper from either the top or bottom so I can insert them again... making them look "for sale" ...of course, mahirap gawin itoh with the shrinkwrapped DVDs, pwerah nah lang with the Forrest Gump and Supergirl Ltd. Ed. 2-DVD sets nah one inch thick ang width.
So far I have 325 titles, including all individual DVDs of Friends which came as 8 episodes per DVD from Seasons 1 to 6 then 4 episodes per DVD from Seasons 7 to 9!

You mean you don't remove the plastic wrapping totally? I considered doing that before when I was just starting to collect DVD's but I realize that I won't be able to appreciate it totally the packaging atleast with the plastic wrapping still on. Ginawa ko nalang sa mga Warner Snapcases ko I covered it with plasic cover kasi snappers are the most vulnerable sa wear and tear.
;D
-
hahahahah! nagmukhah naman tuloy akong nova villa character ng "abangan ang susunod na kabanata..." sah comment moh! nababanas din kasi akoh sah pinong alikabok nah parang tuyong grasah nah mahirap alisin... laloh nah kapag matagal nang hindi nagamit... same is true with cd sleeves in their cases... tapos tipong kapag pinahid moh, sumasamah ang color ng sleeve cover! nakakapang-gigeeeeeel!!!
-
speaking of the pinong alikabok, i make it a point na di sila tumatagal sa mga dvds ko... di pa rin kasi ako makahanap ng enclosed dvd rack na maganda na mura eh, hehe... anyway, i have a small vacuum (yung gun-type na nabibili sa astroplus) para tanggalin yung alikabok... added protection din sa cases yung plastic sleeves...
nga pala, naiba na naman yung arrangement ng dvds ko... yung iba nasa dvd rack, yung iba nasa tv rack, yung iba nasa cabinet.
-
alphabetically and vertically arranged in my cabinet.
para mas madling hanapin.
and almost every night, i check them one by one.
-
and almost every night, i check them one by one.
;D hehe, pareho tayo.
I sort them into three groups above my built-in shelf above my tv(way up where my kid won't be able to reach). Kids(cartoons, disney..), special releases(2-disc, EE, Box sets...), and ordinary releases.
-
for me,its by the name of directors..quite wierd.. ;D when i buy dvd's un lagi una ko tinitignan..so im more familiar with directors 8)
-
For me, arranged muna sila by 4 categories: Cartoons (animation), Musicals, Sets and others. After that, alphabetical na siya, although may set ako na magkasama sama ang keep case at snapper case.
Hirap talaga ma-explain, but that's how I arrange my DVDs. ;D ;D ;D
-
Me I have two places for them. One is a closed cabinet, it has 3 shelves and I arrange them by Genre and this is where I keep all my original discs where no one can see. The other is a 5 foot tower originally for VHS tapes, kasya 2 discs per VHS slot. This I keep on display with all my not so original (P*****d) . So every time friends and family come by and check out my collection it's not very hard to say no if they want to borrow them.
-
my dvds are all in a suitcase except the pdvds.. since i dont have a cabinet yet for them.. im planning to get one for the action figures and the dvds that i have ;D
with matching studio lights inside para maganda talaga! ;D
-
talk about pure dvd insanity haay! ;D ;D ;D
pag asa mood by genre, otherwise RUMBLE NA! ;D
-
for me nakalagay sa box. dont have any time to arrange it pa. :D :D :D
-

By Genre:
- Action/Adventure/Thriller
- Suspense/Horror/Drama
- Fantasy/Sci-fi

-
Basta me bakante sa dvd shelf, suksok agad! ;D
-
Four shelves, in roughly descending order.
First shelf,yung mga pinakamahal kong pelikula't direktor regardless of genre - - -Takeshi Kitano, Takashi Miike, Wongkarwai, Aliens, Repoman ,Citizen Kane,etc .
Second shelf, yung mga TV series at Box Sets - - - NYPD Blue, Cowboy Bebop.
Third shelf, yung mga Asian , mga B movies at sari-saring art films.
Fourth shelf, exclusive to the Hollywood stuff I like - - - Minority Report, Rushmore,etc.
The Warner snapcases nakakahon regardless of Region.
Ditto with the R3 Asian films.
At the rate things are going, mukhang kailangan ko pa ng mor shelf space.
-
As soon as I get my dream room where I can set up all my 'gadgets' (i.e HT, computer, books, toys and DVDs, pati na rin VCDs and VHS), the DVDs shall be arranged according to genre-comedy, war, drama, pinoy, xxx)
-
Alphabetically, para madali mag-locate ng title. I try to keep some free space sa shelves though, para pag may bagong dagdag, it's easier to insert sa collection and not have to move everything ;)
-
Alphabetical for now but once I get a lot of DVD's, it would be by director (directors are alphabetically arranged of course and the films under each director is alphabetically arranged).
-
region 1 seperate region 3
-
me by category... ;D
positive_noise.
-

Ako sa ngayon di ko pa sya na aayos, balak ko kc mag-pa customize ng rack ung me glass cover with rubber seals, dyahe kc kung nka-lagay lang sya sa isang standard rack n prone sa alikabok accumulation. kaya sa ngayon each dvd ko ay nakalagay sa original plastic bag nung binile ko sya at nakatago sa aparador para iwas sa mga batang mahilig maglaro ng mga ito kaya ang resulta puro gasgas n disc.
I planned to arranged it by movie classification.(eg. action/epic/drama/comedy etc.) then prepare a list for directory.

konti pa lang naman collection ko so madali lang ayusin ::) naka-separate ang mga medyo malalaking dvds (24, LOTR trilogy, KFH LE, 2046 LE...) sa mga regular dvds in aramay cases, digipacks.... both are in alphabetical order para madaling hanapin
and of course, naka-separate din ang mga Jun Ji-Hyun movies (http://www.geocities.com/rniverson/Smiley/2thumbsUp.gif)
5 movies lang naman eh 8)

I have a modest collection so arrangement isn't a problem yet. Here's how I arrange them:
The p*****d ones, I keep hidden and I'm actually starting to give those up to my friends
The originals I arrange according to their box office successes in the US from left to right, with the leftmost, the highest grossing movie. That's why I always check IMDB everytime I buy a DVD to see how I will place it in my mini-library. Hindi nga maalis sa leftmost side iyong Titanic samanatalang iyong rightmost eh pabago-bago. Isinama ko na iyong concert and Tagalog DVDs doon at sila iyong nagpapalit-palit sa rightmost side. When my collection was a lot smaller, I usually watch my DVDs from right to left. I start out with the lowest-grossing going to the highest grossing.
I only have 1 boxed-set and that's Star Wars Trilogy. I was tempted to include the individual DVDs to the general population but decided instead to keep them in the box and display it on its own on a small round table beside my library. :)

-
By year of the movies's theatrical release.
-
Mine was alphabetically and arranged through their genres (Action, Adventure)

Yeah me too, some people do not understand why I arrange my DVD's this way.
To me it makes things simpler & neat. Especially since DVD's from the same studio usually have uniform packaging.
I do not arrange films by genre because some movies are mixed like Action/Adventure, Action/Fantasy, Action/Thriller Ek Ek! It becomes very confusing.
-
I think arranging your discs by genre is the most convenient for me. This way, I can just simply go to the specific genre that I feel like watching at that instant.
Of course its a problem when your collection grows and you need to move discs around to accommodate new titles.
-
by boxset
then movie with sequels (LOTR, Startrek, etc)
then animation/chidlren
then with slipcase
then all Warner Bros
then all best picture titles
then all R1
then watched/unsealed

-
i started with the boxed sets (tv series, movie anthologies)
followed by movie anthologies that are not in boxed set, but excluding animations/for kids
then by actor. after all titles of the actor are consumed, i look for common actors, then proceed with the arrangement (e.g. bruce willis -- unbreakable, fifth element, armageddon followed by pearl harbor [common actor: ben affleck])
followed by dramas (not mine, of course ;D)
comedy, the animation, then for kids.
on the other rack, special interests and rated "R" titles.
-
Yung mga boxed sets ko, nakahiwalay, pati na yung may mga matching merchandise. Yung natitira, arranged alphabetically.
-
Best Picture first
Boxsets
all Warner Bros titles
movie with sequels (LOTR, Startrek, etc)
animation/chidlren
with slipcase
then all R1
ang mga natira
all dvds with multiple language
all dvds with english only language
all Viva
all c-interactive
