I’ve used software for years to manage my movie database. I have 442 DVDs and HD-DVDs in my collection. They are each labeled and organized in numerical order. It’s very simple to add a movie to the database – type in the title and click “search”. The software looks up the details on the movie from a variety of online databases, downloads the description, actors, etc. It even downloads the cover art.
Currently I use Movie Collector Pro from Collectorz. It costs $39.95.
The software allows you to export to HTML, and there are a large number of templates available here, including an Ajax Template I built. You can see my movie list (using my Ajax Template) here. An alphabetical list of the movies can be found here.
I’ve tagged this post as Reviews/Movies since I thought I would start writing very short reviews of the movies I purchase.
If you’ve ever wanted to catalog your movies, I suggest you try Movie Collector – there is a free trial available from their web site.

@scarng – the Ajax output files are back at http://lagesse.org/Movies/

@scarng – I guess I never put it back up after I changed servers. I’ll try to do that in the next couple days.

The link to the ajax template is no longer working?
Let me know if you have any questions about using the software (although it’s pretty straight forward).
I’m going to give this a try… I think I have you beat with over 500 movies…
