This document describes how the AToM (Access to Memory) software can help a movie fan organize their movie collection. It recommends classifying movies, people, and books, then linking them together by properties like what movie a director worked on or what book a movie was based on. Following 3 steps - classification, association, and adding details like genres or names - would allow the user to build a searchable database of their movie experiences to store, search, and share. AToM is presented as a scalable, open source, and easy to use alternative to online databases or other tools for organizing this personal movie database.
