So I was wondering, how do you organise your collections? Are they sorted by name, studio or director? Are they sorted under category such as zombie, vampire, etc. Do they have seperate sections for horror, scifi, etc? Or are they just thrown on the shelves haphazard?

Currently I keep my horror/scifi seperate from my drama and foreign language section. My top shelf is for prominent directors, such as argento, fulci, bava, rollins, romero, shyamalan (*duck*), etc. My next shelf will be for films I group together for other reasons, such as prominent studios (e.g. classic hammer, universal and amicus). Then the rest of my horror/scifi is sorted alphabetically.

I used to keep my horror and scifi seperate, but it gets a tad difficult to categorise certain films, so I gave up with that.

Someone seems to have a lot of time on their hands!

Don't bother organizing my films - whatever I pick up, I watch.
Now, as for books ......
