Post your rack
 

So, many of us collect movies, how do you all display them?

Mine is pretty much exactly like the black one in this pic, only taller:

At the monent my VHS tapes are just kind of laying around, I dont have anywhere for them...

Boy, I'm glad I read the explanation before I posted a picture of my rack:p

I have my movies in a big cabinet under my t.v. I periodically go through and prune out movies that I bought that I didn't like or care about, so I always have room for dvds. My vhs on the other hand takes up four shelves on my bookcase....I have way more tape than disk.....

god dammit! once again i am tricked.

(turns around and walks right back out)

I have my DVD's and VHS's pretty much scattered around in my bedroom, but all of my horror movies are in the hallway on a 5-story rack. I need a second now, though.

I basically have one wall of my office devoted to movie storage. I'll post a picture when I get around to taking one.

Follow the sun west until you come to the place it sets. Here lies the lake of dead childrens souls. There will be a ferryman whom will take you across. Do not help him row, or you will be damned to do so for life. On the other side of the lake, there is a forest. At the end there is a Manticore who will ask you three questions. No matter how angry he becomes, you must answer "These are the thing to whom myself I keep." After the third question, he must let you pass. You will see a cave of fire. In the middle of the cave lies an ancient dragon who never sleeps. You must sing to him the song of the dead, and then he will rest for the first time in 30 ages. In the heart of the beast lies my DVD collection.

(I use shelves)

Wow! If Return hadn't posted this, I probably wouldn't have counted how many dvd's I actually have. It's not many compared to a lot of you guys, but its a pretty good collection IMO. Feedback on it if you will...

All the DvDs are on the top shelf, and all but 2 VHS's are on the top. The Dvd's past E.T. on the shelf are all marching shows and Taebo Workouts.

If you count all my Dvds and VHS'S not including Marching band and tae bo, i have...

27 DVDS and 12 VHS.

39 Movies in all... haha, now I feel like an idiot, it looked like a lot more than it is, but it's a good start to a collection I think... There's some really good movies in there.

I think it could use a healthy injection of horror. I'd recommend hitting up a pawn shop or local video store next payday. You can usually find some good deals like '5 DVDs for $30' or deals like that.

:cool:

I'm getting 20 bucks from mowing the lawn today, and I was going to spend that on horror, but I think i'll save up a while. But the next thing i'm buying is Kill Bill V.1, no question.

i use a bookshelve. nothin fancy there.

Well you have all 3 Screams, so you earned me points.

i'm a complete dork in the fact that i also have the soundtracks to four of my movies.

Scream 2
Scream 3
The Faculty
Freddy vs Jason

you can find some pretty decent songs from a horror movie.

Yeah I got a bunch of songs I could never find on my ipoid from Scream, 2, and 3.

Like collective soul and stuff.

I got myself shelves which are deep, so I keep my DVDs and VHSs in rows, one behind the other.

There are 4 rows of DVDs one behind the other, out of which the first is visible here.

And 3 rows of VHS tapes, you can see the first row here. Most of my VHS tapes are pretty old (bout 10-15 yrs) and the covers of some of em have been torn, so I made custom-printed covers for em from my computer.

a couple of bookcases, most of them are stuck in boxes all over the place...it's a nightmare trying to find something :(

My dad got sick of my movies laying all over my room, so he built shelves specifically for them

Here's a pic taken awhile back of some of my dvd's, the collection is quite a bit bigger now though, somewhere around 1700 plus dvd's..

yeah I got like 5 dvds so....

You're gonna show us your "rack" instead :p

Em at this unfortunate stage ..
alot of the movies you guys talk about..
we don't have here in NZ so can't comment on many of the topics.

You must have Zombie Films though right?

Yeh they do. I've picked up a bunch.

I'll have to get new pics up soon...

Where I spend most of my time, my desk, and to the right, my entertainment setup (not shown: A good tv).

The movies are on the middle shelf, and VHS on the top. The baskets below the tv, and reciever are all VHS as well.

If I had a mini-fridge and a toilet I would never have to leave this area.

Here's another question: For those of you that do organise their movies, how to you arrange them?

Me, I have them by genre, then alphabetical within the genres. The genres I sort them in are horror, sci-fi, western, comedy, action, drama.

Like this, only alot more:

Angel Heart-Bone Snatcher-ReAnimator-Dark City-Tombstone-Bruce Almighty-Office Space-Assault on Precinct 13-Hellboy-Never Let Go-Quiz Show

Make sence?

I do in a different way each time I do them which since I have a lot isn't often but when I get really angry I do it to relax (as opposed to smoking which is what I used to do and loooooved to do). Hardest was by director, I gave up. I do like to keep all my Critereons together though.

I just arrange mine straight-alphabetically. Too many movies kindof defy genre. The only time I deviate from the alphabetical system is with box sets where you can't alphabetize without splitting them up (MST3K sets, The Man With No Name trilogy, et cetera), and I have some where the case doesn't fit on my shelves in with the box sets, too, in this mini-shelf thing on top of my cabinet

I used to be totally all over the place...some DVDs or VHSs would be lying in front of the comp for months, others on my study desk, some others on top of my books etc.

Since I cleared those shelves and got separate space for my VHSs and DVDs, I sorted them first according to my earliest purchases to the latest. But then my collection started to grow bigger and it looked a lot more confusing. So I went back to sorting em alphabetically. It makes more sense that way, specially if you already know a particular movie is of a particular genre.

DVD alphabetical then my Freinds seasons...then VHS alphabetical then anyting that downsn't fit.

sorry about the typing, im nore than a little drunk

Beer is gooooooooooooooood.





I'll post my crap later..

My movies used to be a mess, then one day I had a cleaning fit and alphabetized them...it's nice that way.

On an unrelated subject, if you get a digital camera, you can just plug it into your computer and download the pictures, right? Does it make a difference what kind of camera you buy? Some of them are really expensive and some of them are cheap....I saw one in Wal Mart the other day for fifteen dollars....

I don't know,i'm going to have to use my hypnotic poswers just to put my shit on here.

Oh...well hopefully it doesn't smear:)
