I'm not a scrapbook person, not even a good album person. The most important thing is to put names and dates on the backs of pictures! Mine are pretty much filed by year but are loose so that what is written on the back is easily seen. Pictures of people that my children would not know are being given to families of those "unknowns". As to family pictures--I do genealogy and have a page for each person. Then I put a few good pictures of those people with their page. It helps bring names and faces together. Good place to file those Christmas letters that we enjoy and then wonder what to do with them. Good reference for the family as time passes. As to movies, those can be put on tape but now technology moves forward and need to catch up on that. Reel to reel transferred to vcr tapes and now it's cd's/flash drives--what's next?! Even those scenes that you may not treasure now may be special as years pass so I'd recommend not editing anything out.
