I'm trying to filter out a subset of my movie library that contains specific movies we want to watch with our son. He's getting older, and we're introducing him to our favorites like Terminator, Alien, Bourne, Matrix, etc. The movies don't all share a common trait that can be filtered. I just want to browse my library, manually mark some movies, and then be able to view that list on its own. I'm a long time user but have never tried to do something like this before.
Reading the results of my various searches, it seems like I could add the movies to a queue and then save that as a playlist. I'm not sure that is the best way because I want to be able to easily add new movies when they come up and remove them after we watch them. Nodes and smart playlists seem like they rely on common traits such as director, year, genre, etc. that will not apply to this list.
It seems like I should create another share on my NAS for his movies and then move everything there. Then I can create a custom home item to view just those movies. In the future when I add new movies, I'll evaluate whether it goes on the general movie drive or on the "watch with son" drive. Does this seem like the best way to accomplish what I want, or is there a better way?
