I'am in 2,000 and counting

I have 2022

combined total 3.200

Basically the number boils down to this...How many fingers do you have on one hand...FIVE ?? or four fingers and a thumb???

I'm a member! Onwards to 3,000. 

How do you store them all? I am facing that problem, bad!!!!
Help!

I'm an amateur even though I'm up to almost 5,000 DVDs. Some people on this forum own over 11,500 of them!

I own a several thousand vinyl records and hard cover books in addition to my DVDs. The way I store them was to cover every wall with custom built floor to ceiling shelving units in my living room.

The bottom shelves are large enough to hold the vinyl. The rest of the shelves hold the books in the rear and the DVDs in front.

I keep almost everything alphabetized with rare exceptions. For example I keep Live Free or Die Hard with my Die Hard collection.

I like being able to see everything and know where something is when I want it. My 6 year old nephew calls my living room "DVD heaven"!

edit: Where's your collection? I was curious about what you own and its not posted. If you don't mind changing the settings, I'd be interested in what you own.

2010 in 2010!

Still growing... I put DVDs that are covered by Blu-ray in binders (as well as DVDs with no inserts in the cases and those from the miserable snappers), no cases. Each binder can hold as many as 256 discs, but having 6 binders, and expecing to gain more, I only put three discs on each four-disc page, and leave ten or so blank pages between each letter. The rest are stored in a number of places (in their cases, box sets, slip cases, digipaks, whatever): all pre-sound era films are in one drawer of a Can-Am cabinet (two-three drawer cabinets where the other five drawers have my CD collection) in my living room; the DVD/Blu-ray collection (alphabetically) from the numbers, the As, Bs, Cs and the start of the Ds are on custom made shelves in my library; the rest of the Ds through the start of the Rs are on built-in shelves in a closet in that library (behind them are my LP collection, and the few VHS tapes I haven't found or bought DVDs to replace yet); the rest of the Rs through the start of the Ws are on two store-bought DVD shelving units still in that closet; the rest of the Ws through the Zs are on two small store-bought shelves on top of the built-in shelves (in the window) of the library.

Only the SF collection and the mystery (book) collections are in the library, filling it. Our autographed books are on shelves in our bedroom, professional books in the office, the Library of America and antique books in custom shelves in the dining room, books about comics books (with file cabinets for the comics themselves) and about film studies in a closet where I store my guitars, basses, amplifiers and PA system under the stairs, and general lit and non-fiction in boxes in the garage. We need a two-story library larger than the one in the film of My Fair Lady to fit the books we own.... then a library our size to fit the CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

I think I need a bigger house, with a warehouse as well as a garage...

I'm declaring myself now even if it's a day or two premature. With what I have on hand, plus duplicate copies, and what's inbound, I'm right around 2000.

The collection is heavily weighted towards drama, indie and foreign language films.  I've also tried to stock up on best picture nominees, 2009-1960, though this will be harder going forward with the Oscar's expansion back to 10 nominees for that category. Nothing from 2010 for a while until the prices are more reasonable.

I'm within reach at 1982.   I should make it by the first of the month.
