Hi MovieLens users! We recently launched our first major revision to MovieLens since 2003! Please help us grow in the right direction by giving us thoughtful feedback on the design and functioning of the new user experience.

Ideas, questions, and bug reports are all welcome here.

  1. Remove Recent Releases From Main Page, They Can Be Found Anywhere!

    It isn't difficult to find recently released movies that are popular. EVERY other recommendation site does this, you can find those movies on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes. I don't use movielens to see whats currently playing in theaters! I mean come on you can just google that stuff.

    Thanks for the feedback. Other users like this feature because viewing movies in the movielens interface offers different information (e.g., predicted ratings). Let’s see if others chime in.

  2. The Star colors have changed!

    In the old movie lens, predictions were in red and what you've rated is in blue but that has switched, I find it a little confusing. It will probably be ok down the line when the new site is launched and only seeing the new way, but just wondering if there was a specific reason this was done

    Interesting! Hadn’t thought users would care. Let’s see if this issue gets more support.

    The two reasons for the current choice:

    1. part of our new site’s color palette
    2. we wanted the “rated” color to be more vibrant than the “predicted” color (unlike the current site).

  3. Titles according to user language (localization)

    IMDB shows the title of a film in my language (as guessed from my browser settings, I guess). Even if you keep the user interface in English, you should offer (at least in searches) my interface language (with fallbacks for same-language different-country titles), English and the original film language.

    Thanks for the feedback! We do have a very international user base, so this makes sense.

  4. Links to external movie sites

    Before, there were automatic links to the rottentomateos, netflix, and imdb sites. those were helpful, and adding more would be neat too, such as AMAZON (my vote) or Hulu...any others?

    We’ve taken the easy first step by adding links to IMDB and TMDB.

    The harder second step is coming: add arbitrary links (e.g., amazon). We will probably need our members to add/maintain those links, so that will require more development.

    Happy to hear suggestions for more sites to link to.

  6. Filter by movie country

    It is nice to have a good recommendation for artsy movies but I would like to have the option to filter them out.

    We are planning to add the capability of filtering by language, which I think gets you what you’re looking for.

    I suppose the other option would be to have a filter to “hide a genre” – e.g., all genres except x. We’re not planning that one, but happy to hear feedback.

  7. Better Facebook sharing

    If I post the link to a movie page in Facebook, the preview only shows "Movielens", not the title and no image. I know that chasing after Facebook changes is difficult, but maybe there are some small changes that make for a better sharing.

    Great feedback, thanks for sharing. I’ll add this to our to-do list.

  8. Movies grid

    I see that you are using a fluid interface, but in my screen I am seeing 24 films in a grid of 5x5, leaving thus an empty position at the end.
    I don't know what you can do and I see that 24 is a very divisible number, but there is this error case.

  9. Allow arbitrary precision for predictions in stars widget

    Currently, the predicted stars widgets display predicted ratings with 0.5 star precision. E.g., if the predicted rating is 3.82, it will make 3 and a half of the stars blue. It would be more useful to make three full stars and 82% of a fourth star blue.
