When you launch the program for the first time, you are presented with a sample collection of movies. These are displayed on a virtual shelf on the left pane and details of the selected movie are presented on the right pane. If you don’t like the virtual self, you can change it to list view or cover view and further group your collection by title, genre, year of release, media type and many different ways.

To add movies to the collection, simply type the movie title and click on the magnifying glass icon to search on IMDB.com. You can also connect to several other websites such as Amazon, Moviemeter and regional IMDB sites. All My Movies retrieves all information and populates the remaining fields  automatically. You can edit any of the fields if you wish to, add your own ratings, specify custom genre, add bar codes if it is a DVD and mark movies as seen.

This action can be performed on different fields, such as list movies released on a particular year, or by a particular movie studio, or list movies with a particular rating, and so on.
