In the spirit of rediscovering the Archive movies subreddit, I decided to look back on what I've been documenting and logging and how long my upload gaps have been. I've got so much on my lists to tackle and it's so rewarding when I'm able to find more elusive stuff that are just a dream to come across.
For all of you out there, what have your uploads been like? What's your most popular shares?
Do you have a catch-all kind of system or do you aim for certain kinds of things?
What are the big things you have on your lists that you plan on or want to archive for the future?
How about just your to do list in general? What seems like the next thing you'll probably upload next?

I'm not sure if it counts, but right now I'm backing up the entirety of the Children of the Corn movie Blogspot page since it's a gold mind of insightful content - including information about the lost "Blue Man" scene.
If you're referring to the Internet Archive then while I haven't uploaded anything yet I do intend to upload some FLCL related content that I want preserved.
Most notably the Spanish Dub which I found in Blu-ray quality as well as a few bumpers (if they haven't been uploaded already), though the only issue I'd have is trying to extract each episode individually from the VLC Media playlist.
UPDATE: When I downloaded the dub initially I had no way of uploading them to the Archive at the time because I was using a school laptop that has the site blocked, when I got home and downloaded the dub onto my own laptop I found out that not only had I downloaded the Spanish Dub but I had also downloaded the Catalan Dub which as far as I know is more obscure, now I need to find a way to upload both to the Archive.

I don't remember where the request thread we have is for we can throw up links for people to back up, but if anyone has free time, consider archiving this person's content. It's just under 40 videos of various tv and radio broadcasts, reports, and sign offs during the Cold War (including closing ceremony news footage of the 1984 Olympics aired via Iraqi TV). It all looks amazing. I plan on sharing them to the Obscure Media sub and hoping to get more eyes on them, too.

I don't have a ton of drive, time, and motivation to make physical copies of certain media anymore. So if I can log it via the Wayback Machine, that's kind of better than nothing for the time being and if someone gets flagged down, they can take a chance on it.
If there's an odd website or Youtube channel I come across, it's added to my color coded list. At the moment today, I was came across a channel that had the first season of Cartoon Planet and while it's thankfully been saved before, having more grabs doesn't hurt. I also did this again for a So Weird channel (Bricriu the Joker) that has the studio versions of the soundtrack and another random person, for whatever reason, has a music video and a massive, 3+ hour long video with 60 other piece of music and songs from the series. Something else of potential interest is that the user, Moys Mednsal, has a bunch of album rips and music videos from a few other artists.
