Storing the Rambo movies...

Those of you who have the Rambo movies... Do you store them under R for Rambo or F for First Blood?

That's why I don't alphabetize my movies- sequels go together regardless of what their titles are. I also like to keep similar movies together, like Antz and A Bug's Life. If I had Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot and/or Rhinestone I'd probably put those next to the Rambos and Rockys too.

I'm actually a HUGE Stallone fan. My Rambo collection (sans First Blood on Blu-Ray) are put into my Stallone collection and those are in chronological order the trilogy is put where First Blood came out.

^Same here. My Rambo films are with all my other Stallone action films in their own section. Alphabetizing would ruin the appeal of my collection, since I like having things sorted by genre or actor/director.

I have refused to purchase any Rambo movies because of the possible confusion it might cause me!

No, because it's actually only called First Blood. The fourth movie, is the film called Rambo. No Stallone lingo, just 'First Blood'. Oye.

I have no Rambo films, but I do use the genre/actor/director methods of grouping. To that end, I try to keep sequels together and I rarely alphabetize. Sure, it make finding things easier, but only if you've memorized their names and are looking for a specific title. I don't find alphabetizing helpful for browsing.

The movies are called Fist Blood, First Blood Part 2, and Rambo 3. There are no movies called Rambo 1 or Rambo 2. Incidentally, my boxset of the three films is under R for Rambo Collection. As far as other films and their sequels, it depends on the movies. Star wars films are filed together, obviously. The3 fast and the Furious is under f while 2 fast 2 furious is under t.

I file them in a specially-made wooden box rigged with a hand grenade that goes off if somebody opens it incorrectly...

Actually, I don't own any of the Rambo movies, but I don't get you people who are filing it under 'R' and 'F' or whatever...you should all be filing it under 'B' for Badass.

Neither, I categorize my films by genre, then director/actor/studio (Disney and Ghibli in particular for the latter), not alphabetically.

I mean, do you really feel comfortable placing Toy Story next to Total Recall? Or worse, Bambi next to Cannibal Holocaust?

I alphabetize my movies, but I put sequels together. Like Mad Max, Road Warrior, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome are all in the M's. Rambo I put in the R's because it's called the Rambo Trilogy. My movies are only alphabetized for my own expediency, so I'm not going to stick so closely to alphabetical order that I end up making the movies I'm looking for harder to find.

No. The first movie was titled simply "First Blood". As GuessWho said:
