My personnel opinion at the moment:
Title: Cult Horror Collection
Edition: 4 Movie Marathon

Title, because instead of 4 Movie Marathon with Cult Horror Collection you have a at least a bit of an expectation what you're searching.
4 Movie Marathon as Edition, because it is the descriper of a collection like The Criterion Collection, Oscar Edition, ...
(Even if not existing at the moment, you could also see it as seperator for different version. e.g. perhaps there will be a Cult Horror Collection by 4 Film Favorites  )

I don't care how people do it online since all my titles are locked but it should be easy to search for so the best option would probably be to put everything in the title field. For my personal collection, I would put the unique part of the title in the title field and the "series" part in the edition field, such as:

Title: Cult Horror Collection
Edition: 4 Movie Marathon

For my local database I would just use:

Title: 4 Movie Marathon: Cult Horror Collection

I would not use the edition field. I see this as the title of the DVD.

I agree. Edition field should not be used for these. Should be that way for the online.

So like this...

Title: 4 Movie Marathon
Edition: Cult Horror Collection

Just making sure I follow you. I was originally thinking all in the title field... but wasn't really sure on it at all.

so tell me Pete .. How stripped down are these titles.. ?  Anamorphic widesceen or full frame?  5.1 DD  or Dolby stereo? Chapter stops within its own menu?  Price??  Thanks 

Amazon lists it as widescreen at least.

Neither "4 Movie Marathon" nor "Cult * Collection" is really the title of any of these movies. But there's a whole series of "4 Movie Marathon" DVDs out there.

So it's really "4 Movie Marathon" that's the edition of this series - not only in DVDP sense but literally.

I agree -- "4 Movie Marathon" is the edition.  It is the common element linking all these collections together.

Title: Cult Horror Collection
Edition: 4 Movie Marathon

This seems the best way to me also.

Question: When you have a large collection and you know I will see if I have the film Phantasm II, will it find it by a simple search then when it is not in the title? I find it important to create the titles the way that you can find every film you own when you search for it.
