It's funny that you should mention the Alien series.  I have that series and
this is how the files are named:

Alien 1.iso
Alien 2.iso
Alien 3.iso
Alien 4.iso

In Myth Vid Gallery, they are displayed like this:

Alien 3
Alien:  Resurrection
Aliens
Alien

What did you mean by "nuke them from orbit"?  Removing them from the
database, then re-adding them?  Thanks!

Jim
