I was at a house party two weeks ago and saw this.

Excuse the camera-phone quality. The person who owns this DVD collection arranges it, more or less, by spine colour! Isn’t that amazing? Most people anal enough to arrange their DVDs into a discernible genre (and I am certainly one of these people) tend to go for the classic straightforwardness of the alphabetical or by type methods. (I actually go for both, first separating them into TV and film, and then from A-Z within these respective sub groups). Of course most people actually go for either the not at all or pot luck methods, the latter being a system where by you select several cases and open them all in the hope one of them will actually contain the correct DVD title, if a DVD title at all.

I personally don’t quite see how the pictured method helps you to select a specific title quicker, but then if you are selecting a DVD to watch then it probably means you have some time to kill, and so can afford the extra time spent searching in favour of the aesthetic superiority spine color method offers.
