Do you use director or actors or the name of the film? Any particular reason? Just trying to decide the best method for organizing my movies. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

What do you put in the "Artist" field for Movies

I also do directors. If I were to put actors I know I would end up putting a ton of people because I love a lot of bit actors, would just be way too much clutter. Besides with directors, for the most part, you can get a general idea of the feel of a movie. For example, Michael Bay = action, Farrelley Brothers = comedy, M. Night Shamalamadingdong = suspense.
I put the movie studio (universal, warner bro, etc).
What do movies bought in iTunes have under artist?

this is how you do it nische!
As the artist I put the main actor. I use composer for the director. Than I use foreign or teaser posters for the artwork, never the DVD cover or original poster. I like to see something different for the art work. I already own the DVD artwork...plus the dvd artwork is usually boring and bland compared to the movie poster from other countries.
...and that's how you do it nische!! ....I added some pics of some posters that are in my library.

srri for the bad pic quality. Using my phone
You realise you can do a "screen grab" instead of actually taking photos of the actual screen.
Anyway...I'd just like to point out that Apple labels their movies with the Director in the 'Artist' field.
I do this too, always the Studio for me. I also always put in the Poster's off the net (http://www.impawards.com/ to be exact) I usually try to match them to the DVD covers, but a lot of the time the teaser posters are so much better
The movie's I have purchased through iTunes have nothing in the Artist field, just Title and Genre.
