How to catalogue your film collection?
In the last few years I went a bit free & easy with lending people stuff and I've since realised how stupid that is.
I've got stacks of DVD's and hopefully there's a decent piece of software that can catalogue them complete with synopsis, screenshots, trailers etc. I've tried looking on-line but I can't find anything that looks definitive.
Does anyone have something like this? I don't mind if its on-line only, but a nice desktop program would be cool. I think I've lost quite a few films lately!

You know, there was a DVD cataloging software - like something you actually installed on your desktop and I think it had an online capability as well - but I quickly dropped it, probably because of what a pain it was to add new titles, and sometimes it wouldn't have the exact release. If I remember correctly, you could add them through the UPN code on the case; you could also search titles, but there was no way to tell which one was which - like was it a special edition, regular release, country of release, etc.
My computer back then was hardly state of the art too and I think it was kind of a resource hog. I just wish I could remember what it was called.
Such as it is, I use dvdaf.com and blu-ray.com to catalog my collections.

Well it lets you add TV series box sets, but it has none of those other features you mentioned like synopsis, cast, etc. and it's got an even worse case of "not exact release" than that app I mentioned. It IS, however, ridicilously easy to use, thanks to actually being able to see the freakin' cover art. And I'm pretty sure that as a Brit, your local releases are far better covered than mine - but they still lack some, like the cardboard "Full Journey" box sets of Deep Space Nine and Voyager.
blu-ray.com does have all those features but like the name implies, it doesn't cover DVDs.
For what it's worth, here's mine. You can create custom subcategories, too.

Dang, I wonder if there's a way to list/archive everything?
On a side note, after putting it on Letterboxd I watched the trailer for Revenge of the Fallen, and it makes it look like the most EXCITING film in the world.
Thumbs up to the truly skilled people responsible, that is how you make a truly awesome trailer!
