Is there a way to have multiple Movie Menus? I have a listing of Christmas Movies that I would like the kids to enjoy. I have them all in a separate folder location, and scanned their fanart via imdb.
But they are all included in my general movies menu. Is is possibly to have specific folder locations included only in your menu items? I'm hoping to create a 'Christmas' Menu for just these movies.
Is that possible?

Both are good suggestions. Using Playlists, I could start all christmas movies starting one after another, and than skip through them to one you want to watch.
Profiles are also a good suggestion to toggle the info between the info your looking to segregate.
But I was hoping to be able to segregate things more, with out the need to toggle profiles, etc, as the media grows.
Example. I added my James Bond collection this week to my media. It would be nice/helpful to have a separare 'Bond' menu item for just these movies (theirs 22 of them I think) in stead of searching all the movie content.
Currently, my Movies menu contains all these bond films, plus all the christmas items. Segregating these into separate menu's or submenu's would be a very big plus. I guess setting up various profiles for this data may be the best workaround at the moment.

Movie Sets looks like a good idea. I'll have to read up what I can find them. I've never edited the nfo files manually, so hopefully I don't mess it up.
Can someone explain how the Movie Sets will then show in xbmc? Is this creating 1 movie/item in your movies list that is acting like a submenu than? Just trying to understand what/should look like. I hope to try and create the Movie Sets this weekend.

As I think about playlists, wouldn't using a playlist end up keeping all movies in the default "Movies" menu item? I'm hoping that maybe you can set up separate Menu Items for various content, thus profiles may be the better approach over playlist and Movie Sets.
Perhaps you can setup Movie Sets to 1) includes only Bond fims, and 2) include all moves except bond films. Again, I'm uncertain how the Movie Sets work ,and hope to try that this weekend.
