[quote=“Col. Douglas Mortimer, post:19, topic:1660”]I’m still at a loss on how to sort my collection. Currently its roughly according to actor, but than what happens when a movie has two actors and you have to pick one?
I’m going to switch to alphabetical sorting but its kinda tricky with spaghetti western titles. Do I go with english titles? Italian? What about titles that start with “a”, or a number, or “the”. What if spaghetti westerns have two titles that have two titles that are used equally often? For those of you who sort A to Z i’D appreciate some tips.[/quote]
When it comes to “a” and “the”…i tend to discount them when making an alphabetical list.
In my big case each wallet holds eight discs so just left a few gaps between discs which worked for a while. When I reached 400 just sorted out again whilst listening to a few Spaghetti soundtracks and had the odd one or two beers and the job was an enjoyable one.
Like Silver says just ignore the ‘A’ ‘s and ’ The’ in the titles.
Thanks for the tips guys. I will try. But its still kinda hard going with english titles because many of my dvd’s are european or japanese releases with no english titles so it makes sorting and looking up something all the more messier.
Oh well. Such is the life of a spaghetti western fan…
You could buy a label gun thing ( the real name escapes presently) and label your DVDs with the English titles. So what if it ruins the look of the case. At least it helps. This is what my video store does with non english covers.
After being into Spaghetti westerns for many years and being a member of the forum for a while the different titles are usually not to much trouble for me.
Well, I would always go by director (as with all my non-spaghetti DVDs) but then again I have no box sets and I’m still well inside the double digits… to be honest, I’m not sure if I’ll ever make into triple digits to find out.
To the people sorting by director or alphabetically how do you handle something like the Wild East double features? Or do you simply avoid buying anything with more than one movie on it
Had luck so far
To be correct it’s not 100% chaotic. I have the Leone Movies on a shelf, all the Django’s (German Titels) and the Koch Media Rainbow Collection (it looks so beautiful) on a shelf. All my SW Boxes are on a shelf too. SW and Movies I love are at eye level the one’s I care less are beneath. So there is a certain system.
Not sure because I have seen some that I don’t own and, in terms of ownership, would only really count legit releases anyway. One day I’ll try and figure out exactly how many I’ve viewed but in any case I’m still holding off on compiling a top-20 until I’ve seen a few more.
The thing I love best about this forum and database is that all you knowledgeable fellows who’ve seen hundreds of these obscure ones have basically already separated the wheat from the chaff for me when I’m choosing a new one to watch. I’m also slowly learning who has more similar tastes to me which helps.
