Sorted alphabetically by sound format(LPCM on top and part of bottom, Digital Surround tracks on bottom)
Image Sorted alphabetically in two sections: Disney and everything else
Image Just kind of tossed up there, no real organization, it's all discs I've watched and didn't care for, or discs I've replaced with Blu Rays
Image Discs I plan on eventually listing to sell, yet again, no organization.
That's my collection, how do you guys organize yours?

pan and scan in one section, alphabetized, then original aspect ratio in another section, alphabetized. I refuse to put P&Ss alongside the likes of OAR's hahaha

I'll have to listen to more discs to find out what all this LPCM and DTS nonsense is about. I'll be honest and say that sound is the last thing I critique when judging any film.

I have everything alphabetized by original title, in exception of Hammer movies and box sets which are divided to their own sections. Unwatched discs are separated from rest of the collection.

Alphabetical for me.

I will eventually have my collection in alphabetical order however, this will be done sometime next year as the decorating in three areas of my home, speaker instalation and equipment setup is my first priority.

I shall look forward to doing this though as it's well overdue.

A good topic indeed and, an organised collection if one can do this is worth while.

There are those who are unable to do this due to lack of available space ect.

Many of the members on this forum have quite a large collection, so choosing to organise them, although this may take some considerable time to type a list and then do the same with all the titles on the shelves. . . . . It's worth the effort.

Regards to all

For a while all my LDs were in this bookcase along with some of my video game collection (this is from quite a few years ago) . . .

They're all in alphabetical order save for the box sets up in the upper left section.

But in time I had to move the video games out to make room for more LDs and now I had to buy another bookcase for more room. Moved the horror laserdiscs out of the LD bookcase and grouped them with all the horror DVDs on the other bookcase.

Might have to do that again for another genre as the main bookcase is filling up again.

Mine are alphabetized by box sets first, then alphabetized by the standard/gatefold versions, and i have a few special ones displayed on top of the bookshelves (like my Gold, Silver, Blue, Red and Japanese Terminator 2 Special Edition box sets and a few others) works out pretty well. I keep them with my DVDs, with the Laserdiscs on the bottom shelves because the bottoms are the only ones strong enough to support all the weight lol.

These are most of them, Laserdiscs (mostly) on top and on the bottom shelves

and my T2 laserdiscs on the top shelf of these

I have my collection divided
1) MCA DiscoVision
2) 8" Discs
3) Huge Box Sets
4) PAL Format
5) Everything Else

All of these are then sorted alphabetically, except for the DiscoVision which are sorted numerically. I have divided the "Everything Else" into Features, Non-Features, Demonstration & TV Series, but they are all run together on the shelves. "Huge Box Sets" are sets that just don't fit on the shelves with the regular discs - like "Fantasia", "Dances with Wolves" and "Speed Racer".

I have a little program I originally wrote back in 1988 that helps me keep track of everything.

This photo starts with Classic Horror, mostly Encore Editions. The rest of the top shelf is Republic Serials and the Judy Garland Box set. It will not fit on the bottom shelf as it is full. The middle shelf starts with Criterions and ends with DTS discs. Bottom shelf is box sets with Toy Story somewhere else.

In this photo the top shelf starts with Film Noir and ends with my Robert Mitchum collection.
The middle shelf starts with Film Noir VHS tapes. Then it gets a little goofy. The Laserdiscs are Double Features. Encore Horror Doubles, etc. At the end is my THX Wow disc and my Video Essentials disc. Last but not least is my Signed Day The Earth Stood Still Box. My Velodyne Mini-Vee is on the bottom shelf, but could be moved if I had more Laserdiscs!

Someday that's going to be my living room up in alchemy's picture, only I'd like to have both sides filled with Laserdiscs. I could never see myself collecting CED, maybe VHD, but all of the problems I've seen associated with CED seem too crazy for me to handle.

Hello alchemy541,

Lovely furniture Friend

I have had to have furniture made to order as I do not have the time or skill to do what you have done, of which is impressive.

Well done to you.

The sets of equipment Racks with the shelves made of solid Oak 41mm's thick, the Oak pillars are stained black and sit on spikes, all three racks measure about 8ft wide, 500mm deep, 4 shelves high which comes to around 3 1/2+ high.

Iv'e waited 14 years for all of this to materialise and understandably, I will get a little emotional when I finally have everything in place, as it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride getting to this point.

They are currently with a trusted retailer and I shall be placing another deposit this Saturday 18th Feb.

Mine will not look as good as your funiture, but I am more than happy with what I finally chose.
I hope you enjoy the fruits of your hard work as you clearly deserve it.

Thank you for sharing.

Respectful Regards to you

:thumbup: :D
