Malenko beat me to it. Im not really sympathetic here, Im sorry, but does he have a reason to be holed up in there? Did something traumatic happen and he is trying to cope with it? Or is he just some punk kid that is a having a pity party? For gods sakes he is only 19. Kids now a days act like their world is gonna end if they drop their iPhone. I think if you ignore it, it will blow over.
Then again, maybe you can harness it. Does he want to get into film? ;D
WhereEaglesDare:
1 - If he isn't working how is he buying movies? Why are they giving him money when he wont do anything?
2 - If he IS working then why does it matter? He must have some sort of life out side of his bedroom if he is working.
3 - Try to get him to realize that his attempt to catalog the great movies of today is futile because HARD MEDIA IS DEAD and antiquated.
...and hit him.
In the "industry" the first troubleshooting step is always hit it, bang it around, give it a shake, give it the good ol' drop test.
This situation should be no different.

When I got out of high school I experienced a sever lack of "motivation". I ended up at community college and didn't give a damn about making anything of my time there. After about a year my folks made the hard choice and kicked ---my bottom--- out. 3 years later and several bad roommate choices (including alcoholics, drug addicts, and even a car thief) and many many many really bad choices of my own, I finally learned that there maybe something to getting my act together and doing something with my life.
There's something to be said for letting people make their own choices and having to live with them, regardless of how painful it is to watch. Now I applaud my parents for doing what had to be done for my own good. ... and thank them for their sacrifice, my parents almost got a divorce over it.
My advice, after a couple of months of the behavior you listed above talk with your parents and ask what their plan is. If they don't have one encourage them to get one that doesn't involve them taking care of your brother for the rest of their lives.

Your brother needs to start drinking & going to strip clubs, if that doesn't teach you social skills & ambition to get your own place I dont know what will.
