dynamic recommendations
In the morning my mood is like "get stuff done fast" and I like upbeat things like music that's fast rock or punk.
My mood changes during the day. I think movielens is giving recommendations for my "average mood" very well. However if I were to give a recommender some indication of what mood I am CURRENTLY feeling then I think the recommender really would do better to incorporate my current mood into the recommendations it outputs.
For music, this morning I listened to Rage Against the Machine while I did the dishes. But during a more meditative time of…

make recommendations better...
Great concept. This used to be my favorite feature in Netflix (they gave really on-point recommendations), but they have since done away with the feature assumingly because they want to promote their streaming service (and divert attention from the 90%+ movies not offered on streaming). What would it take to make your results better? (lack of data, algorithms, other?). I was searching for something just like Movielens, the problem is that your results for recommendations aren't so great.

Create personal lists and share with the world
It would be cool to create personal lists; like for example "Best Movies of 2015" and we could share we the world our taste and recommendations =)

Add "Movies you added" to "Your Activity" section.
It would be nice to track the movies you have added to movielens database. Currently there seems to be no such possibility.

Import jinni.com personal ratings
Jinni.com has just ended their service and sent everyone's personal ratings to their email. Therefore, lots of people would like to import their ratings to MovieLens.
Please, make your import thingy to work its magic with jinni's rating file in csv-format! All you need to do is to match Title.
Here is a sample of jinni.xls format
title;year;titletype;rate;ratingdate
Bram Stoker's Dracula;1992;Movie;10;17.5.2014
Moulin Rouge;2001;Movie;10;27.10.2013
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly;1966;Movie;10;1.8.201229 votes -
Anime and Animation recommendation
I felt that your bias or weightage for anime or animation tags is quite high.

Permanently clear the automated search
When looking through the "top picks for you" section, there is an automated search blurb that reads "dumb but funny,slapstick,stupidity,cerebral,imagination,weird". It's frustrating to have to clear this every time, so that the movie suggestions don't only fall under those terms.
Thanks for your time

Don't display existing ratings
You will probably get ratings closer to what the user actually feels if you don't display the existing rating for the film. Maybe a 'recommendation mode' where the rating is displayed and a 'rating mode' where it isn't?

make the click easier to change the recommender algorithm
currently i have to click on the radio form item (its small). It would be nice, if i could click the whole element (text right of the radio). as a pointer mouse is shown, users may expect this. i also always click on the text first, then when nothing happens i realize, that i have to hit the little circle.

inital questionaire
how about more categories on the initial 3 point questionaire. blending action and fun are not necessarily the same genre and people might like one but not the other. for example i like social commentary but not "blood"

Standardise common tags
For example, should I usefully be tagging a Japanese animated film 'animated', 'animation', 'anime' or 'cartoon'? It seems a few standardised tags would neaten the database a little.
Could be combined with the earlier 'auto-complete' suggestion.

API to retrieve IMDB id's for recommended movies
Hey, I'd love to be able to integrate movielens's suggestions into a mediacenter on a raspberry, it would be awesome to access the recommended movie list and be able to rate them from there !
It seems to have been mentionned here already : http://movielens.uservoice.com/forums/238501-general/suggestions/6404521-api-for-creating-and-updating-a-profile

separate movies that are on DVD and movies in theaters.
I think it would be helpful to make a distinction between the movies in theaters and movies available in DVD.

Gay interest genre
I often look to your site to attempt to find a half decent gay movie (the way he looks, boys, free fall, etc) and I always struggle to do so. An easier mechanism to find such movies would be greatly appreciated by both myself and countless other users.

Friends' recently rate movies
The old website allowed you to share an RSS feed of your recently rated movies with friends, a feature that no longer exists. Will this sort of feature ever be implemented again?
Assuming the infrastructure exists in the form of a buddy/friend system, I think sharing your ratings and seeing how your friends rated movies would add greatly to the fun.
I hope to hear back from you!
