How do you organize your shelves?

Post by SG-17 »

When displaying your kaiju DVDs/blu-rays how you all organize them? Do you strictly only place Godzilla films in chronological order? Do you exclude the American films? Do you place the other Toho/MV Godzilla-adjacent kaiju films (Mothra, Rodan, Varan, Kong Skull Island, etc) in with the Godzilla films or are they separate? What about non-Godzilla adjacent films like the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy?

All sections in chronological order...

Toho Godzilla series bluray releases
American Godzilla home video releases
Non-Godzilla Toho effects films
Gamera movies (Mill Creek, then SHOUT, then PD)
Ultraman
Miscellaneous

I currently have my modest Toho collection on one bookshelf minus the oversized Criterion Showa set, which is just lying on a table until I get cases for the disks. From left to right and in chronological order where applicable:

Classic Media DVD box set
Godzilla DVDs
Non-Godzilla effects film DVDs
Godzilla Blu-rays
Non-Godzilla effects film Blu-rays

The neighboring shelf to the right holds non-Toho Japanese kaiju/adjacent stuff:

Misc. DVDs
Arrow Daimajin box set
Arrow Yokai Monsters box set
Mill Creek Ultraman Blu-ray sets x4
Arrow Gamera box sets
Misc. Blu-rays

Then I have a shelf below that for non-Japanese giant monster/dinosaur/killer animal movies, including American Godzilla, which currently just has misc. DVDs and then Blu-rays in chronological order.

I also have a dedicated shelf each for horror and animation, and a small misc. section that currently just has two Western DVD collections, High Plains Drifter Blu-ray, and Sailor Suit and Machine Gun Blu-ray.

All Godzilla films in chronological order, left to right. Then all other Toho sci-fi films in chronological order, left to right. Squeezed the Heisei Gamera trilogy and Gamera the Brave in to the far right. Shelf below is a bunch of other monster/sci-fi films including the Harryhausen movies and the Universal Monsters movies but I haven't really organized those recently.

For the most part, I organize my movies in alphabetical order. However, if there's a series, like Godzilla or Gamera, then I organize those in chronological order. I have a shelf/cupboard in my bedroom where I have all of my Japanese DVDs and Blu-rays (kaiju, anime etc.), and in my living room I have another cupboard where I have most of my non-Japanese stuff, including the American Godzilla movies.

I usually organize by film but thinking about rearranging to organize by sculptor. At least for my kits.

Edit: whoops, wrong forum lol thought we were talking about figures.

All my Godzilla and Godzilla-adjacent films (Rodan, WotG, Atragon, Matango, etc), are on display together in chronological order. Or at least as close to chronological order as I can get with some of those box sets.

I keep my tokusatsu films up at our second home in GA, since it's the only one that has a working DVD/Blu-ray player (in the main home in FL, when the flat-screen TV was put in, the man forgot to re-install our VHS/DVD player (we have another DVD/Blu-ray player in this home too, but it's also uninstalled)). They're in one of the side drawers of my bookcase-headboard bed.

I 've got all the Toho films mentioned in my thread "My version of the Kiryu Series" that are or were available on DVD and Blu-ray (except for Half Human and Gorath, but maybe someday...), then most of the major Daiei films from 1949-1999 on Blu-ray, then Gorgo and Gappa the Triphibian Monster on DVD, then the five Shochiku films on DVD, then the first three Ultra Series TV series from the 1960s on DVD, then the Giant Robo TV series on DVD and film on Blu-ray. I've added a few more (of which a few of them are upgrades from DVD to Blu-ray) that I've got to get up there soon.

I've also got a few down in FL, too, mostly special ones: the Blu-rays of The Return of Godzilla, Godzilla 2000: Millennium and the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy and the DVD/Blu-ray combos of Shin Godzilla and the first four films of the Monsterverse (with the first two as Target exclusive versions). I keep them in one of two bookshelves I've got in my bedroom closet.

For the lists of what I have, see my last post on p. 50 of "Last Kaiju-related films you bought on VHS/DVD/Blu-ray?" and p. 20 of "What Godzilla movies do you own?". The second list also shows what I hope to get someday.

While the Criterion Godzilla set is a lousy release, I cannot deny that it looks great on top of the shelf.

I keep the toku discs with the rest of my movie collection so alphabetical first, then chronological in the case of franchises and sequels. The only exception is the Ultra series Blu-rays which I have to display separately at the bottom due to a lack of space + the spine mural looks better that way.

I don’t really display my discs anymore. I have them stored in a buffet table along the back wall of my home theater. Currently they are quite jumbled and disorganized because they went from being in storage after moving halfway across the country to being unloaded into the buffet once the theater was built in the basement.

I plan to organize them similarly to how I had before moving, which was kind of like an old video store. I broke them down into genres and then put them alphabetical within the genre. Except franchises went in release order.

For me giant monsters would be their own group with the Godzilla franchise in release order first followed by all the others (Toho, harryhausen, kong, etc) alphabetical after that. Gamera would be in franchise order right after Godzilla except the big Arrow box set neatly took care of that for me.

That's exactly how mine are organized. All giant monster flicks are on one shelf, but separated by franchises that themselves are kept in chronological order: Toho Godzilla, Legendary Godzilla, Gamera / Daimajin, Pacific Rim, etc.

My Kaiju films/shows/books are on their own shelf. My MCU films and my anime are on the main shelf but are separate from the rest of my Bluray/DVD releases. I might put my a anime on a separate shelf to make room on my main shelf later but IDK.

I’ve been a fan for 25 years but my collection is still a work in progress. The original Frankenstein is still the only classic Universal monster movie that I own. I only have some of Shout Factory’s Super Sentai series DVD sets and they just released Kamen Rider Ryuki on BRD. Discotek also just released Kamen Rider Black this month, with Kamen Rider Black RX soon to follow, and Cleopatra Entertainment is releasing Shin Ultraman in June. I only have a fraction of the Toho SFX Authentic Visual Book series. As far as comic books go, I don't have everything that Dark Horse published, nor any of Marvel's Godzilla comics, nor IDW's 2016 miniseries Godzilla: Oblivion, and I haven't gotten the Legendary comics Skull Island: The Birth of Kong, Godzilla: Dominion or Kingdom Kong. Probably the most glaring omissions from my book collection will always be The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Godzilla (1994) by Ed Godziszewski and Age of the Gods: A History of the Japanese Fantasy Film (1996) by Guy Mariner Tucker. The Spyro the Dragon books belong to my lady.

While the Criterion Godzilla set is a lousy release, I cannot deny that it looks great on top of the shelf.
Your collection is awesome too!
