No, I don't think that's boring at all. Makes a lot of sense. My four basic categories/shelves are pretty simple, though (and, of course are alphabetized). Thanks for the link. Most amusing and illuminating.

I have an urge to categorize them by genre, and alphabetize within genre of course, but I think it'd be too hard. There's too many films out there that either fit equally well into more than one genre, or for which some obscure sub-genre would have to be created. Take Fight Club for example, what is it? Drama? Action? Comedy? It has a little bit of all of the above in it, IMHO, so I wouldn't know where to catalogue it. I could always decide to always go with what IMDb, or some other semi-official source, has to say, but that'd still confuse me when I was trying to find a film.
Despite all these hurdles, I am still intrigued by the idea of "genreizing" my collection. It'd be nice to be able to walk over to the comedy section when I'm in the mood for laughs, or the action section when I want to give my surround sound system a workout, etc.
Decisions, decisions...
