Johnnyecks 33 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Wow Erik! Seeing your collection made me very proud and happy and, oddly, very sad as well.This thread brings back some bad memories.Which Neil loves to bring up from time to time! I have been afraid to take pictures of my collection anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I briefly had the E.T. lazerdisk box set. One disk was defective and I returned it...but not before recording the iso score and swiping the gold disk for a regular one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 So what's with the pink walls, Pixie? I didnt see an answer to that.It was my wife's design. It's actually not so bad when you are in the room. The flash on my camera makes it much brighter and "pinker". Can't say I'm too excited by pink, myself. I'm trying to cover up as much wall-space as possible with my CDs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,686 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Wow. Fill that thing up and you should never ever complain again about Williams not really scoring movies any more.My physical CD collection is exactly the same as I posted last.It will probably gain another 2 sets when the new Doctor Who CD comes out, and the Indy box set. And you also never know what surprises might come from Intrada on Tuesday.Other than that, I've been buying a fair amount of music digitally.

Maglorfin 196 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Wow. Fill that thing up and you should never ever complain again about Williams not really scoring movies any more. Well, so far, I've "only" got cca. 330 soundtracks, approximately 85 of which are JW CDs. Thus, filling it up with only soundtracks is more likely than not a lifetime project for me, but I must say that I'm quite content with my film music collection as it is, especially due to the fact that it's growing constantly. So, yeah, one day this thing just might be filled up with nothing else but soundtracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Hoyt 13 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I recently built new shelving for my cd collection. Its not fully organized yet and I haven't decided how to organize my soundtracks. I like to keep franchises together and I really haven't decided on a good system yet. Ideas anyone? I should be getting a digital camera in the coming months so I should have some pictures for you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Alphabetical by composer is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Indeed. And it mixes well with classical music, too (because for composers like Korngold, Kilar, Williams, Glass, Nyman... it's a real pain in the ass to keep the two separate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I organize by artist, which is good except when you have something like Jaws, where different composers scored different films from the same franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 So? Franchises don't need to be grouped together, and most of the time it's the same composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Actually, I'd say that normally a franchise is not scored by the same composer throughout.Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Home Alone, Mission Impossible. . . .

Unless you're counting extraneous films like The Clone Wars and The Young Indiana Jones, which I wouldn't consider a part of the franchise. Well, maybe series is a better term to use, because franchise actually would include all of those. As for Home Alone, the third film is by Nick Glennie-Smith, and the soundtrack has an 8-minute suite of score. Honestly, who else has this but me?

Trent Hoyt 13 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I like having the franchises together. If I do organize by composer, each title would be in chronological order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Then you would definitely be separating some franchises. Alphabetical by composer, and the scores alphabetical as well. The simplest organizational tool, and the easiest if you're looking for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd demand your camera back if I were you.Edit: The reason why the Star Wars Anthology is on the top shelf is because it couldn't fit on the shelf below...and I figured since the Superman set has four different composers to it I just put it on the top shelf at the beginning.

You can get a good camera for a decent price at places like Wal-Mart.People know better than to take my stuff with out asking because they know I'll raise hell.
