Recently, I took advantage of the price cut and bought the Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan collections of James Bond movies, as well as \u201cOn Her Majesty\u2019s Secret Service\u201d with George Lazenby\u2019s one and only appearance as 007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The individual movies all show up under the \u201cRecently Added,\u201d Last 3 Months,\u201d and “Action & Adventure\u201d listings (well, except for \u201cOHMSS,” which, for some reason, appears under \u201cAction\u201d rather than “Action & Adventure.\u201d) However, I wanted to collect all the Bond movies into a James Bond folder. You can\u2019t actually create a folder, but you can create a playlist of a collection of movies. To do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group Movies in Apple TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Open the TV app on your Mac.<\/li>
  2. Navigate to the “Library” tab.<\/li>
  3. Press and hold your mouse (or trackpad) and drag over the movies you wish to group. You can also Ctrl-click on individual titles.
    \"3<\/li>
  4. Go to the File menu and select “New > Smart Playlist.”<\/li>
  5. Name the new playlist (such as, in my case, “James Bond\u201d).
    \"chosing<\/li>
  6. The movies will be assembled in the playlist IF you\u2019ve downloaded them. If you haven\u2019t you be asked to download them before they can be added to the playlist.<\/li>
  7. After you\u2019ve created a playlist, you can drag and drop other films into it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    By the way, contrary to some critics\u2019 opinions, Pierce Brosnan was actually a very good 007. It\u2019s just that after \u201cGoldeneye,\u201d the other three films as the superspy were diverting trifles, but not classic Bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
