How do you get iTunes to produce a list of stored movies?

In a recent conversation I was trying to list movies I had in my iTunes collection, but quickly realized I'm not an elephant. So now I'm trying to figure out how to print them out in list form.

First, I tried looking up the names in column view. I selected the whole column, copied, and pasted it into a TextEdit doc. No dice, I ended up with a couple hundred little blue folders in the window. Delete!

Then I tried switching from grid to list view. Nice text list, along with dates and log lines for each movie. I'd get my names but I'd have to edit two hundred movie titles to drop those lines and dates. Nope.

So now I have no idea what to do to print a simple inventory of movies. Does anyone here have any ideas on how to do this?

In iTunes, go to Films and use File > Print
Then choose Album List and the theme List of Albums, and press Print...
Then in the Print dialog, use the PDF dropdown to save the list as a PDF.

Alternative:
In iTunes goto Films, view all films and view as list, then (as you tried) select all, copy and paste - not in TextEdit, but - into a Numbers spreadsheet, then format as you please.

That one didn't work. I got a page that showed the number of movies but was otherwise blank.

That one worked. I was able to load the info into a blank spreadsheet, and then delete all of the columns but the name, one at a time. I selected the entire column and pasted it into a .txt, and for some reason it had each individual movie name in a bordered cell, just as if I was looking at it in a spreadsheet - even though the cell walls weren't visible in the original spreadsheet.

I have more to learn about this but you've given me something to work with. Thank you very much.
