Thanks Elliot! I really appreciate it. Always great to hear from you. I actually wanted my shelves to be the exact height of a Blu-ray case like yours, but I just had too many oversized releases for that to make sense for me. I love that tight clean look of your Criterion Collection shelves though.

Definitely one of the best shelves I have seen. Love the clean white look and looks awesome with all the colors like that. Definitely the best looking shelf by far 👌🏽

Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it. It seems to irritate a lot of people for some reason. But it works for me, and I love it.

@@FilmsByColor they would get much more irritated at mine because I group by bluray and 4k in Genre sections. They would have a field day but that’s how I watch movies. I go I want to watch a thriller or i want to watch a comedy and I go to that section. Everyone has different ways they watch etc. Your shelf looks great don’t listen to the haters lol. If I had a nice white shelf backdrop I might arrange by color. Plus your shelf stands out from literally anyones

Man, your physical media collection looks huge! I actually have over 4,000 myself (so over twice as many) but am storing them differently - every time I see a display overview like this one it puts the size of my collection in perspective a bit lol (a lot of mine are on revolving units and it makes it look like it takes up less space) Great collection!

Gorgeous looking on the shelves but man my OCD would kill me not having sequels next to their original films and everything lol looks awesome though bro

If I was your neighbor I would sneak in at night one day and rearrange your collection alphabetically like a normal person. How do you remember what color something is if you’re looking for a particular title?

I just found your youtube channel! Love it! ❤ Could you make a video on how you started sorting by color? Would also be fun to hear you talk about green films! I think green films are the hardest to find! Maybe a video about hunting green films! Would be fun to see! 🙋‍♂️🎬🌈🎨✨

Very intersting collection 🤩 i like karate kid box, Ten Commandments and Universal Monsters 👍 Have fun 🤠

Thanks, Todd! Really appreciate the comment. Those are some of my favorite box sets. You have good taste, sir.

Another great video mate! Loved your videos for a long long time, you deserve a lot more exposure :) !

Always have love alphabetical order myself, but the color organization looks stunning!

Your collection is lovely to look at but a headache trying to figure how to go about finding anything, though I'm sure you know where everything is. Also, great posters.

Your dedication to organization, not just collecting, is something that is always astounding.

Thanks so much, Sean! That’s some high praise. I always appreciate your comments. When you commission your shelving, I’d recommend going with an independent contractor over a company. You’ll save a lot of money that way. Just make sure he’s good. Ask to see his previous work. We found a guy that specializes in built-in shelving. He does awesome work.

Thank you so much!

Great collection. A nice variety of titles, distributors and, most importantly, an array of colors. Funny, in the past whenever you mentioned your Criterion shelf, I always pictured in my mind another wall with a number of shelve units, not a continuation of the two shelve units we see on camera. I have my Criterion closet set up alphabetically by director then chronologically by the year of release. If I ever get myself reorganized, I'll have to do it typically by spine number, Currently, it is a pain trying to make room in various spots due to limited shelve space.

I’m constantly considering reorganizing my Criterion Collection by spine number. I don’t think it would be worth it though, since my collection is still relatively small.

I LOVE that Avatar boxset, I have the Legend of Korra one but for some reason I haven't gotten the Avatar one yet.

You must use some archive system, else it would be a nightmare to find a film, looks colourful though! Any world cinema, like The World of Wong Kar-Wai?

note the dvds in plastic traps air it will start disc rot i would remove them but thats the most clean set up ever we bow to you ....your a god

Nice collection! Running at a little over 5000 movie titles myself (haven't counted my TV collection yet) - I must slow down, lol.

Wow, very impressive! I think my spacing is gonna max out around 2,000. Then I’ll have to start selling stuff off.

I also have that limited edition Psych box set which I love. I plan to keep it even when I do upgrade to have the blu-rays and to have the movies that unfortunately are only available in that newest set (2 and 3).

Not all movies are for all people saying that I do love your display its really nice neat and uniformed 🙌🏻

Sorry I'm a day late posting this, but thanks so much for giving us a look at your entire collection. I'm a little different in that I mostly organization my films by genre and certain actors/actresses/directors. So, that means I don't have all of my Criterion titles next to each other. For example, my Criterion copy of "War of the Worlds" is with my other sci-fi films, and my Criterion copy of "The Uninvited" is in with my horror titles. Sometimes I think of how cool it would be to have all of my Criterion titles together, but I really like organizing them by genre.

@FilmsByColor

4 ай бұрын

I used to organize by genre too. It’s great. It’s like having your own personal video store.

I was just thinking of it now, but I'd love if you could make a video on films that you would show your child at different stages of their life. Starting with the first films you'd ever show them and making your way forward to their first ever introduction to R-Rated films? You could do it as an entire series videos breaking them down by different notable moments and age brackets of their life, whether that be films you've already shown or hope to show in the future. I know that you value creating a rich love of film in your kids and make that notable in your videos, so I think it would be a good fit for your channel and could be a way to get new viewers if your video reaches the right search bar terms.

Mine seems so modest in comparison! But I also have the out of print The Third Man blu ray!

I love that Third Man release. I’m one of the few who likes Criterion’s DigiPaks

How do you pick a movie you want to see out of this huge collection= :)

Nice shelving, would look better in black. I don’t like the order by colour but each to their own. Mine is in no particular order so I can’t say much lol. I just have most expensive boxsets at the top, followed by slips, standards, TV Shows/ DVDs.

Psych Blu Ray Upgrade Is massive , highly recommend

What’s the best place for affordable Blu-ray’s with places like Best Buy leaving physical behind.

If you wanted to showcase releases in more depth, you could pull a selection of films all in one color or shade of color and talk about them there. To turn it into more of a series of videos rather than a singular video.

@FilmsByColor

You’re spot on. I’ve had the same thought. If I ever do Complete Collection videos, that’s how I’ll do them. I actually tested out that format with my Christmas Collection video at the end of last year, and I though it worked really well.

Fantastic collection. Do you struggle sometimes remembering what section a film is it due to it being in a colour section. I know us collectors sometimes have a 6th sense were we put stuff but was just wondering. Loving the content keep them coming.

@FilmsByColor

4 ай бұрын

Well said. I’ve never heard it put that way, but you’re right. We do kinda have a sixth sense. So it’s not usually a problem, but in the rare case that I can’t remember where something is, I have all my movies logged in a database app on my phone. And I tag them with a color, so it just takes a couple seconds to run a search. Great question. Thanks for the support!

I find it strange that the collection is colour coded for esthetics, but then up close, you haven't taken it to the next level and grouped similar cases by height and size for a truly unified look.

@FilmsByColor

4 ай бұрын

I wish I could, but if I put them by size they wouldn’t truly be by color. There has to be an even gradation from light to dark within each color section or you lose the rainbow effect, and the shelves just look patchy on camera.

It looks pretty, but, man, this would drive me crazy. I don't know how you find anything. P.S. Why are you hiding The O.C. in the bottom cabinet?? (I love that show.)

@FilmsByColor

Haha! That OC boxset is my wife’s. I’ve never seen the show. I’m not sure why it ended up down there. I guess just because we keep most of our DVDs down there. I should probably move it up to the top.

Great collection, but how do you find movies you want to watch? I alphabetize all of my blu rays and DVDs. If I went by color, I would never be able to find anything because I wouldn't be able to remember what color they were.
