What about dvds that begin with someone's name? For instance, a quick glance at DVDProfiler pointed out:

Frank Miller's Sin City - I file under 'S'
Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles - I file under 'B'
John Carpenter's Halloween - I file under 'H'
John Carpenter's The Fog - filed under 'F'
National Lampoon's Van Wilder - filed under 'V'

*sneaks out of thread to put Das Boot under 'B'*

hmm...interesting, exactly the opposite from what I do.

I'd bet my old elementary school librarian would kick my ass if she saw how I organized my dvds.

If I filed 'em by title, I'd file 'em under the ACTUAL title of the movie, not the director's name. But I already file 'em under the director's name, so it's not a problem for me.

A better question is where do films with actual character names in the title (as opposed to a director's ego requirements) go; Does 'Putney Swope' go under "P" or "S"? 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' under M or S? 'Henry Fool' under "H" or "F"? 'Donnie Darko' under "D" or "D"?

Now, TV shows; that's a different ballgame. (Most have multiple directors, so I file 'em by title) I file 'Veronica Mars', for instance, under "M." If 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' had been called 'Buffy Summers The Vampire Slayer' it would have gone under "S" instead.
