Since I’m currently working on four preps for six course, I thought I’d take the time to finally make up a spreadsheet of my family’s film collection (this reasoning is perfect). In the spirit of slacking, I thought I’d share some random facts about the collection:
Oldest: [Tied] His Majesty, the Scarcrow of Oz and The Magic Cloak of Oz, both released on 28 Sept 1914
Most Recent: Toy Story 3 (2010). The wife and I were going to go see this in the theater the day our daughter was born. We still haven’t watched it.
Shortest Film: The Magic Cloak of Oz (38 mins–I believe this is much shorter than the original length)
Longest Film: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (201 mins, theatrical version)
First Alphabetically: 8 1/2
Last Alphabetically: Zoolander
Most Represented Years:
- 2001 (10)
- 2004 (9)
- 1964/1999 (7 each)
Most Represented Decades:
- 2000s (51)
- 1960s (37)
- 1950s (31)
- 1940s (27)
- 1930s (25)
Most Represented Directors:
- Alfred Hitchcock (17)
- Billy Wilder (6)

Most Represented Actors:
- Cary Grant (20)
- Audrey Hepburn; Myrna Loy (9 each)
- Glenda Farrell; James Stewart (8 each)
I was going to put “Most Represented Series,” but I’ll leave that to you readers based on the info above. Any guesses? (Hint: look for the non-big names).
