A few months back my (now) sister-in-law was looking through our DVD collection to find a few to rent, when she suggested I should have a list of them all - as it would be easier to find.

So, I decided to make a simple web application that would store all of the DVDs and games within a database, allowing friends and family to browse the catalogue and to 'rent' any they wished. The application itself was easy to create, the time consuming part was entering all 321 items into the database! It took me about 8 hours spread over several evenings. The result is:

media.slickhouse.com

Have a look, filter the collection and view the individual DVDs/games. Let me know if you find any issues too - as it's still in development. I plan to add several more features including:

• A count of the results (after filtering)
• Advanced searching including keywords
• User registration
• Pagination
• Rentals
• Reviews
• Valid XHTML

Let me know if you have any suggestions for additional features or if you're interested in the source code. We were a little surprised with the 321 items in total - I had estimated over 400, but if you split out all the box-sets then it's fairly close to the latter!
