Key to one-letter column headings:

M = DVD/VHS icon indicates that I own the movie in that format. A designation in parentheses means it's available in that format.
J = there is a character named Jonesy
B = the captain or crew sport beards
X = (proposed) the Executive Officer (XO) has to take command for some reason
