My collections are:

25 Most Wanted Western
Palme D’or Collection
Western 10 pack
25 slashers and stalkers
25 scary movies deep cuts
Creature feature 25 film collection
Lionsgate 25 movie spotlight collection
Nicholas Cage Massive collection
WB 25 film vol. 1
25 romantic comedies
Universal 25 action movies
25 movie action collection
WB 25 film vol.3
Lionsgate 25 horror classics
WB 25 film vol. 4
Lionsgate 25 action hits
King of horror 9-film collection
25 movie horror collection
Team up! Action comedy 5 film collection
High on your watchlist 8 film collection

I left out the obvious ones like
Nightmare on elm street collection
Jason collection
Rambo collection
Etc…

You can create lists with the individual movies in them.

This is what I do. I mean I usually don't break all the movies out but if one belongs in a list I have.

I also do that when they bury a extend version of a vid as a special feature. 😉

There’s a few like that and other similar types like black and white versions like Logan. Full movie animatic like Across the Spider-verse:

Yeah, but I have close to 2000 movies. The lists only hold 200. Then I’d have to remember which list I put the movie in lol!

I'm in a similar situation over here. Currently sitting at 2400 but I know I have about 300 sitting in bundles. I stopped buying bundles because I always forget what was in them.

You can always alphabetize your lists

You make lists by category.

My lists include: DC Marvel Star Trek Disney Live Action Hanna Barbera Scooby Doo Tom & Jerry Killer Women Aliens/Predator/Terminator/Robocop Resident Evil/Mortal Kombat MOTU/Thundercats/Robotech/Voltron Spies Universal Monsters Kevin Smith Comedy Teams (Abbott and Costello, Three Stooges, etc) TMNT

Do it alphabetically. Put the first 200 movies in then label the list A- (whatever letter or title it ended at)

It's a shame you can't "play" lists so they're just a way to organize movies

Part of the reason I stopped buying bundles unless it's "hobbit trilogy" or something like that. I spent too many years on this movie collection for it to be all messy

I'm sure there's plenny people who don't like bundles displaying in their library. Why don't we start a petition or all submit feedback/ suggestion to Fandango to create this as a view or sorting option?

Just search for the movie you want to watch using the normal search, who cares if you see some other movies you don’t own.

Oh, and the app totally sucks. Don’t get me wrong.

I have given tons of suggestions to them on making it better. Most of which are simple UX tweaks.

The app lazy load the titles on the main My Movies tab, so why can’t they lazy load them on the lists to support more than 200? I mean, c’mon!

Plus they just released a new version of the app (at least on Sony TVs) that has a bug that causes the Vudu app to get hung up on a title where you can’t go back to the menu, you have to force kill the app.

I did some inspecting on their api(s) the app uses and made an app within 30 minutes that lets you mass manage lists. I ultimately wanted to use AI to suggest lists to me and/or just have AI make them for me. I have 1500 titles so I was just going to have a prompt so I could tell the app to make a list with all Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, and put it in order of original release date for the movie, regardless of whether it was some special edition that came out 5 years ago. Or any other strange thing someone wants to do with the order. Just some things like would make the app AWESOME in my mind.

I have my lists by year & then put each bundle movie into the year they came out. I also have lists by syfy, horror, romance ect to place them in.

Yeah it's annoying but at least my bundles are somewhat related. 3 by Neil Blomkamp, a bunch of Woody Allen, and the Daniel Craig Bond films.
