All Formats
I have been collecting movies for over 14 years. Over the years, I have collected films released in a variety of physical formats: from VHS (and even some Betamax tapes) to the latest 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray’s.
There are two ways to refine my movies by media format: via the “Refiny by Media” drop-down in the right sidebar or via the orange buttons listed below. There are several differences: the “Refine by Media” sorter has pagination features (such as sorting films alphabetically) and allows you to display the results in different ways (more compact or more detailed), but it doesn’t list 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray’s. The buttons allow you see to see all formats, but the results are displayed a little bit different–and you can’t sort films alphabetically.

DATABASE SEARCH
DATABASE SEARCH GUIDE
The relation between the filters you can choose from above is “AND” – not “OR“. This allows you to make your search query as detailed as possible.
Example: when you select Director=”Sidney Lumet”, Genre=”Drama”, Film Theme I=”DRAMA THEMES_Courtroom/Legal” and hit the search button without selecting other filters, the search results will show you drama films directed by Sidney Lumet that fit the Courtroom/Legal theme of that specific genre. It will not show you other films directed by Sidney Lumet that do not fit those filters, nor will it show you courtroom drama’s directed by someone else. The more filters you select, the narrower your search, the fewer results you will get.
Please note all film themes are custom made by me, so there is a lot of flexibility involved when assigning films to a specific theme. Not all films have been assigned to a film theme or the other filters – this is a slow, time-consuming work in continuous progress.
All combined I have a total of 2518 movies in my film library, regrouped in 1389 collections and 44 genres.
