    LABEL LABEL LABEL !!!!!!!..... there's no worse waste of time than not knowing what's in a box!!.... label as to what's in there AND what room it should be place in to start with.....

    wrap everything well.... china, glass and mirrors sure, but there's more things that can break if they're not protected.... and some things need wrapped just to keep the pieces all in one place!!.. like jewelery boxes.... (lost a great ring by NOT doing this!)....... get some good way of transporting the clothes on hangers.... a loose pile is a MESS!!!.... and hangers that are tangled will make you scream!!.....

    good luck and an easy move to ya!!...

    If you are hiring a moving company.

    1. Take pictures of valuable pieces, especially furniture. So if they claim it was damage before the move you have evidence it wasn't. Take pictures of the entire rooms before boxing(insurance photos are good)to document what is being moved.

    2. Buy the insurance. There are so many things that could go wrong that could be very---expensive.

    3. Make sure you have alternatives. People at the old house and new house. Too many thing come up. Especially at the new house, if no one is there to receive the load when the mover arrives, even if only a few hours late, they will take it to storage and the cost to get it back is unbelievable.

    4. Make sure you have an acceptable method of payment for the mover at the move in site---If they do not accept your check they can take it to storage.

    And lastly---Use a well regarded national company. You can't believe the number of scams that are run by the "fly by night" companies. If in doubt check the BBB.

    First start grabbing free boxes for your moving. When I moved i went around to grocery stores, and even payless. Yess, unbelievable huh?Payless gave me some free moving boxes. Also scope out apartments. Do not ever settle for an apartment at the last minute. Always make sure to have at least 6or more preview apartments on the list. Make sure to do a very THOUROUGH walk through. If you dont you could get gipped out of your money and what you want in a place to live. Make sure that you ask a few people about the place before you move in to ensure no conflict may occur between you and the manager. Make sure the place you move if you are moving in an apartment has good maitenence. If they do not have good maitenence, in the end you will wonder why you paid all of your money for such crumy service. Make sure you like your payment options. check on ratings to rent truck or trucks if needed. Main goal is to try to do everything before your scheduled move. Before the due date. At least try to get all ratings to apartment/house, or truck rental, storage rental, and etc two weeks ahead of time or least a week ahead of time to avoid delays and over the top stress.

    If you mean directing, then you should study to become a director. If you mean which movies are enjoyable, then it depends on each person. However, there are professionals who rate movies and publish books with a list of movies and their descriptions and ratings. I consider Roger Ebert the best option for this.
