Bond films are under “J” for James Bond
I twitched, I’ll admit it.
I’m not happy with it either, but I can’t find an alternative I like. Putting them at the beginning for “007” feels aesthetically off and “B” for Bond isn’t really any different than J.
I’ve got all of my Criterion discs on their own shelf organized by spine number.
How many Criterion titles do you have? I have 7 (well, 9 because one’s a trilogy set), which I didn’t feel was enough to justify segregating them from the rest of my movies.
I’ve got 22. I only decided to put them on their own shelf about a month ago when the six I ordered from that Barnes & Noble sale arrived.
Wow. Does that cover multiple formats or is it all Blu-Ray like mine?

Damn I’m slacking with 5 (or 6 if you count The Rock). There’s a lot that I want to get though.
Does it say Criterion Collection (and isn’t a bootleg or something)? If you answered yes, it counts.

That doesn’t make sense to me. If someone comes up to me and says they love James movies, I have no idea what they’re talking about.
I also have my Bonds at ‘J’, but I have the Blu-Ray set labeled “The James Bond Collection” so I’m okay with it. I won’t have to worry about what to do with individual releases until Bond25 comes out on disc in, what, 2020 or so?

“F” for Fleming, or use Broccoli as another reason for “B”.

So if you have Forrest Gump, you put it at ‘G’ for Gump, Forrest?

Ewww Forrest Gump.
But no, that’s different.
Actually, I would probably have it at J too now that I think of it.
Shut up all of you I hate you all.
I justified the Bond thing in my head by arbitrarily deciding that the series was called “James Bond, 007”.

Bond films are under “J” for James Bond
Come on, man, trigger warning please.
I file Bond films under “0” for 007. I also sort series titles in production order, except Star Wars which is sorted chronologically.
I do not store my Star Wars 1-6 bluray set with my other films, though. God knows where they even are because I don’t really care. I bought them for obtaining fan edits, only. I do keep the OT/PT DVDs because the cases are standard (whereas the bluray box set is not) and the OT has the GOUT.
I would keep physical copies of Harmy’s, Q2’s, and Hal’s projects, but I kept giving those away to people as gifts (to my dad, my sister, my cousin, and Sam Healey of The Dice Tower boardgame reviews) and haven’t bothered making replacement copies for myself since the last set.

It’s real, just it’s DVD (unlike the others I have) and also The Rock is nothing at all like the other Criterions I have.

So if you have Forrest Gump, you put it at ‘G’ for Gump, Forrest?
If the name of the film was James Bond, I’d file it under “J” too (if I filed alphabetically). Similarly, if they were all “James Bond and the…” a la Harry Potter. But it’s the name of a central character in a series of films that don’t have that character’s name in the film titles, so it’s lastname, firstname. Forrest Gump goes under “F”.
This goes back to my record store days. Jethro Tull and Bob Dylan are both fictional names. But Jethro Tull goes under “J” and Bob Dylan goes under “D” because Bob Dylan is a pseudonym for a particular person, whereas Jethro Tull is a name for the entire band.
Bob Dylan goes under “D”
No.
Bob Dylan goes under “D”
No.
Your only other choice is “Z”.
Bob Dylan goes under “D”
No.
Yes.

I think the more important question here is… who here files The Beatles under T? Because that’s about twelve bridges and a pedestrian overpass too far.

Sorry, I was paid for doing this some time ago. Not, you know, a lot… but paid nonetheless. The OCD sticks.
We were open til midnight. Some guy came in and spent a lot of time by our cassettes. We didn’t take much notice because cassettes were this weird pre-CD holdover without the hipster cred of the vinyl, off in a corner. By the time we went to check on him, we discovered that he had reorganized our cassette section by the color of the spine.
Oh yeah, and Courtney Love came in one time. That was awkward.

I don’t know why he’s doing it, you’ll have to ask him.
JEDIT: Answered above!
I don’t have a large movie collection to sort.
I go by genre/series, so comic book films have a shelf, Bond has a shelf in the “O” section, Star Wars…etc. I used to alphabetize each genre from there, but because the bulk of our collection is back in the States, I now tend stick with no particular order except personal preference.
