For those who alphabetize their collection: what letters lack representation?

It's a slow night, and I noticed that I have no movies that begin with X or Z. This could easily be remedied by purchasing something like the X-Men films (which I may, once a definitive trilogy set is released) and Zoolander (which I won't, since I hated it).

I thought I might open it up to everyone, though. Which films should I fill the X and Z voids with? And what voids do you have in your own collections?

The last one for me was Q, which I finally got w/ Quiet Family (a Korean movie). WRT Z check out Zero Effect.

I think I'm missing K and Q

edit- I have King Kong. Just missing Q (My DVDs are not in alpha order, so it's harder for me to see which ones I'm missing)

None, I've been pretty much set for a while.

I said up front that it was a slow night.

I didn't much care for Zero Effect, either, and have no interest in Zathura. I also once owned The X-Files movie and unloaded it...forgot about that.

I suggest The Quiet American for Q, maybe Il Mare or The Insider for I. The only Y I own is Young Sherlock Holmes, so there's room for improvement there.

I'm missing N, Q and V. Now, Q and V I can understand, but I have no idea how I still have no N movies.

I know it's a shit DVD, but Quiz Show is a great film. I hope they put that on Blu eventually.

For Z, you could always pick up "Warren Zevon: Inside Out", I guess.

I think Q was the last one I got a movie for. X and Z before that. I have a few for each letter now.

Q - the first Q movie I got was Quadrophenia
X - Xanadu of course It's awful but I love it.
Z - "Z" - excellent movie and excellent soundtrack too

I recently alphabetized my 1000+ collection. For a while I thought I was going to be Q-less, but ended up with two, The Quiet Man and Quest for Camelot.

X is well represented by X-Files and the X-Men.

I forget what titles I had besides the fantastic Zero Effect, but I had three Zs if I recall.

This may be an odd question. Is there a seperator card/tab with the the letter printed for DVDs - in the same size as the DVD case - sturdy? Like our school/college folders. If there are such things, where can I purchase them? Thanks.

I have something for every letter. Letters represented by 20 titles or less are:
G - 19 titles
I - 17 titles
Q - 4 titles
U - 15 titles
V - 13 titles
X - 11 titles
Y - 2 titles
Z - 1 title

And for the hell of it, letters represented by 100 or more titles:
B - 100 titles
M - 102 titles (could technically be 113, as I'm counting the M*A*S*H Martinis & Medicine collection as only 1 title)
R - 152 titles
S - 138 titles
