While we would love to digitize our movie collection, the process to do so is impossible for Blu-rays (at least legally) or very expensive. Thus, we are left with a growing number of movies in a limited amount of space. The problem becomes even more apparent after the holidays, of course, and makes that New Year's resolution to get organized a bit of a pain.
Right now, we have the kids and family movies stored separately from "parents only films." I like having this separation, as it makes it easier for the kids to pick out a movie when they want to. Within those two categories, everything is alphabetical, which helps the kiddos learn how to alphabetize things when they have to put their movies away. The only exception is the holiday DVDs, which are grouped together on another shelf.
With video streaming becoming easier and less expensive, our purchasing of movies has slowed, but it hasn't stopped, so I am now on the hunt for a better, more space efficient way to store our movies. Any suggestions?
