    I really like this app called My Movies to track and organize my collection.

      My Movies is great, well worth the price

      I've been using My Movies Pro and I love it.

      I'm on my movies 4 pro and it's awesome l. I like the fact I can upload info that might be missing etc and support is great. May take a few hrs to a day for a response but that's still good considering they are in Denmark I do believe.
      Edit: I can even add titles manually that's not in the database and it becomes available for anyone else who has that title from what I understand.

      For MacOS-users, I gotta throw Movie Explorer Pro into the mix! Comprehensive tool for tracking the content of your collection; Physical Media, Apple iTunes purchases, and Digital files. Very powerful filtering capabilities of Movies, TV Shows, Cast, and Crew. Able to generate Reports in CSV, HTML, or PDF with rich poster-art. Multiple-title UPC Barcodes can be scanned using the FaceTime camera on the Mac or manually input. Extensive User metadata containing Runtime, # of Discs, # of Seasons, Aspect Ratios, Purchase Price/Date, Audio Codecs, Subtitles, Lending Library, etc. can be added. Customer Support is exemplary and there is a 14-Day Free Trial available to test it out!

      My Movies saved my sanity when it came to organizing my collection, as well as keeping my wishlist up to date. Definitely a keeper!

    I sometimes miss the IMDb message boards. Sadly ruined by trolls, but for obscure films you could find years worth of insightful discussion. All lost forever - and there's literally no other site that has comparable infrastructure. There were discussions on any topic you could ever think up for every film and tv episode ever made - some conversations had lasted for more time than TH-cam, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit had even existed.

    Personally Letterboxd has replaced IMDb when looking at cast and crew I can go down rabbit holes so easily and discover some really underated stuff. Of course if i want to know tech specs and Filming locations then IMDb is the answer

    • @Criner05
      @Criner05 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I wish IMDB or Letterboxd had a feature where you can look up any two people (for example Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson) and it'll cross reference and show every movie they've both been involved in. Not just acting, but whether one was acting and the other was just a writer or even special thanks. Any credit of any kind.

  • @SkulShurtugalTCG
    @SkulShurtugalTCG ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I recommend the TH-cam app, and also subscribing to a channel called Films At Home.

    Anyone else using CLZ Movies app to track your video collection?

    • @analogblues
      @analogblues ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes! It’s a fantastic app!

    • @movingkindaslow
      @movingkindaslow ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I use CLZ. Great app.

    • @redrock425
      @redrock425 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Very good and well thought out app.

  • @film-john
    @film-john ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I would love to use whatnot but I'd rather crawl through broken glass than live stream. I also use to CLZ Movie app for my collection and I've been really impressed with it. I used to be a DVD Profiler person but ever since it had a month long outage a couple of years ago I had to make a switch.

  • @terrytalksmovies
    @terrytalksmovies ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Good choices, Jeff. I use an app called CLZ Movies to keep track of my physical media. I scan the barcode and it adds it to the DB. I pay $20AUD a year and get cloud storage of the data, too, in case something happens to the phone. Totally worth it.

    • @JohnDoe-bz4yl
      @JohnDoe-bz4yl ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same here and it's saved me buying doubles

    • @alandombrow584
      @alandombrow584 ปีที่แล้ว

      Me too! Sort of. I use the desktop version, Movie Collector. I also use the CLZ Movies app that syncs with Movie Collector so I can access my movie database with my phone. Great products!

  • @crizo23
    @crizo23 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    As others have said CLZ Movies should really be on the list. It’s not free but it’s actively developed, has optional web interfaces and is quite powerful

    • @JohnDoe-bz4yl
      @JohnDoe-bz4yl ปีที่แล้ว

      That's what I have on my phone and it's only $19.95 a year which works out to 38 cents a week
      it's paid for itself as I have almost bought movies from charity shops and garage sales I already have

  • @SWATTECHNOLOGIES
    @SWATTECHNOLOGIES ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I have used DVD Profiler for about 12 years and amazingly it still works. However, out of fear of it not working someday, I've kept my own parallel Excel spreadsheet striped down version of my collection. Actually, my Excel is better than mymovies and DVD Profiler because I include a Wishlist and my CD collection as well and a rating column. It also has a column check box on whether I’ve watched it. My Wishlist has upcoming release date so far this system works for me and my excel is accessible via my phone. And yes, I know not everyone is a geek like me.

    • @alandombrow584
      @alandombrow584 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use Movie Collector but I hear you. I also export my movie data to an Excel spreadsheet for backup and other purposes.

  • @brownie3492
    @brownie3492 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm a little surprised CLZ didn't get mentioned here. It's not free, but it only costs either $15/year or $1.50/month. I keep track of my entire collection, whether it's dvd, blu ray, or 4K. There's also one for books and video games

  • @Dylang01
    @Dylang01 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I track my collection... in an excel spreadsheet. I love my excel spreadsheets. I use them for everything. Books, Movies, Watches, other random expensive stuff I own. I track my finances, weight loss goals. Excel is life.

    • @MovieBulldog
      @MovieBulldog ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great and very smart. No need for any paid apps!!

    • @alandombrow584
      @alandombrow584 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I also rely a lot on my Excel spreadsheet. But for movies, I export data from Movie Collector to Excel. That way I don't have to make manual entries. Either way, Excel is a good backup system.

  • @johncooley4472
    @johncooley4472 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thank you for this video. I have a couple of apps to get. I already have three of them. I also appreciate that you get the word out about checking the sold filter on eBay. I learned about that on a previous video you did, and that knowledge is pure gold!

    Im surprised i haven't seen many comments about Trakt. Its easily my favorite tracking/collecting app. I can track all my shows and movies and gives me a yearly recap!

  • @Roykirk

    For tracking my collection I've been using CLZ Movies. Using their software for over a decade. Very happy with them.

    • @redrock425
      @redrock425 ปีที่แล้ว

      The best one I've tried. Very quick and easy to use too.

    • @GRORGvideot
      @GRORGvideot ปีที่แล้ว

      According to app store it costs 15$ per year to use. The cost should at least be mentioned when recommending an app. Seems like an okay app otherwise.

  • @jad7306

    • @redrock425
      @redrock425 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I subscribe to CLZ and think it's worth the cost, so easy to use and be able to know what I have at any time.

    Hi Jeff, I'm glad you're on letterboxed. I've been on for about a year and happy to follow you. I love collecting movies and have since VHS, Laser Disc and DVD. I sort of skipped Blu-ray and wait until 4K before taking the next step. Welcome aboard mate!

    As a parent of a movie-mad 6 year old, I find the IMDB parents guide invaluable. For example, Jaws is rated PG in the UK, but if I’d not have seen it (many times!) IMDB says violence and gore is “severe” so as a parent I can make informed decisions

    @Tomhyde098 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The mymovies app is buggy with newer iPhones so be warned. It worked perfectly with my iPhone XR but when I got the 14 I couldn’t see any DVDs from my collection on the app and the scanning feature pretty much doesn’t work. It’s a known issue on their App Store reviews. It’s so bad that I’m seriously considering getting a new app and rescanning all 5,000 of my movies

    Whatnot is a great app. It is my preferred way of buying movies. I like the fast auctions and the ability to see and interact with the seller in real time. You can see the exact item being sold and can ask questions. The deals you can find on there are unmatched. I wouldnt have the collection i have without it

    Hi Jeff: I'm a member and rely on you for what versions of films to buy. I have a specific question (2 part) I'm hoping you'll answer as a favor. I want to buy "The Great Escape" on 4K. So, my questions are: Since the Criterion Blu-Ray is a 4K master, would you wait for them to do the 4K disc? Or buy the Kino Lorber 4K now? Lastly, other than on eBay, is there any way on any sites to determine if you'll get the slipcover? Apparently, I don't like to live without the slipcover. THANKS!

  • @miguelalves9625

  • @Daniel_Lindqvist
    @Daniel_Lindqvist ปีที่แล้ว

    The My Movies app looks pretty good. But from what I've seen you can't list dvd and vhs? And you can't filter by genre? Like if I'm in the mood for a good horror movie and would just filter out all of my horror movies to only go through that list... You can't do that?

  • @stevealharris6669
    @stevealharris6669 ปีที่แล้ว

    My Movies is a great app , also for buying & Selling the CEX app (here in the UK) is good with the added benefit of any Films I went to sell ,it's easy to drop them of at the shop downtown.

    Another great video Jeff.
    I was hoping you could help me answer this question or anyone else in here.
    Looking specifically for detailed audio and video reviews for movies.
    Let's just say you're looking to upgrade from Blu-ray to a 4K disc, would like to know there's a website out there that discuss it in detail.
    I also wish iTunes would have reviews. I pulled the trigger recently on Trading Places 4k and wish there were reviews before buying it.
    Trailers on that app only have DVD quality or worse so you can't tell what you're buying.
    A long time ago I used to buy a magazine called widescreen review was talked about movies in detail.
    Anybody know any websites that can help a collector?

  • @jmphome9793

    Wow added 3/5 new to me apps, great content my dude! Followed you to, with the Advent of them removing videos, and altering streaming videos it's never been a better time than now to own physical media. I'm glad I never sold my collection, Hollywood can die a slow death as far as I'm concerned but trading with the community will keep it fresh and alive Great stuff and thanks again!!!

    Every year for the last 30, I’ve sent my top ten of the year to friends, and they have done the same. I use Letterboxd now as I can easily see my diary and every film I’ve watched that year. Makes it so easy to see what I watched, when I watched it, and what I thought of it. 20WordReviews.
