You'll no doubt want complete information about each of the movies in the collection, so each of those should be added to the database in the usual manner. Then all you need is something to identify each of them as a member of your boxed set. In this case, that would correspond with the 22-movie "James Bond" series. You can do so by adding a
Boxed set or
Movie series field.
My personal solution is to use the otherwise unused
Release standard field as a
Movie series field. (I use a custom language file to change the captions from "Release" to "Movie series.") This has the advantage of being accessible in
Simple search (e.g., I just enter "James Bond" in the search box and select "Movie series" to display a list of the series). It's also available in the
Multiple Movies Editor (select multiple movies, then
Edit)—making it easy to set and change the movie series tag.
I use a liberal interpretation of "movie series," using this field for actual series like
James Bond, but also movies by the same director on a common theme or with the same starring actor, and my own creations like
Chick Flick. That one's handy for displaying the ten movies a girlfriend might want to watch, while hiding the other 1,663.
