  1. Be more like Jinni

    I miss Jinni.

    It's been years and I'm still grieving.

    I miss:

    • browsing a list of films in which some films are well-known and other unknown, and being able to chose the proportion in which those two are mixed

    • ratings creating preference poles using 3 descriptive adjectives, such as "misfit non-linear anti-hero", or "feel-good romance non-linear", etc. All the time Jinni was alive, I have loved being able to chose a film by the mood I wanted to be in, from a list of films that were cherry-picked for me.

    • being able to filter each list by year (I cannot…

  2. More movies per page (100, 500)

    Sometimes, I go through movies with a low rate count and try to find some I've seen. I know it helps you guys. With the very limited number of movies displayed per page however, it is tedious. If I could choose 500 movies per page, that would be great :)

  6. Interface needs work

    Maybe it's because I'm using a phone, but it's almost impossible to rate movies. Clicking on the star to bring up the ratings almost always ends up instantly going to one of the tags for the movie instead. Very frustrating.

  7. Allow import of letterboxd .csv files

    I'd use this site more if I could just have all my hundreds of ratings imported over from letterboxd, IMDB's next largest competitor. As far as I can tell the difference in the file is that the letterboxd one contains urls from the letterboxd database.

  9. Statistics

    It would be really interesting to make deeper the stats part of the website, and especially i would like to see the number of movies rated sorted by country of production.

  10. Be cool to see which actors or directors have the highest avg. star rating from own ratings

    Have an avg score beside highest 10 actors from movies rated.
    Same for directors.
    Having stats for how many movies viewed with certain stars or directors in would be interesting to see!
    Thanks for this site, The recommendations have been more hit than miss!

  11. Explain Zero Rating Predictions

    Hi, I’ve been here since the very beginning.

    I think you ought to explain to users how you can make a prediction with zero ratings. It would seem to break the model of how this works.

  13. Top Picks needs adjusting

    On page 1 (of 2880) of my "Top Picks" I see a couple films predicted only 2.8 stars. Yet on page 4, I see a film predicted 4.1. That is an extremely high prediction for me, I rarely see over 3.5, yet it is buried under 4 pages of lower predictions. Why? Funnily enough, this film, which is a period drama, has appeared on page 1 before. Yet after I watch a different period drama, which I give a high rating, it suddenly drops back 3 pages, despite the predicted score rising. Why? It makes no sense. If anything, my…

  15. Sync with Trakt. tv

    Trakt tracks what I watch. Would be easier if my trakt ratings just synced with Movielens. You'd get a lot more data on viewing habits and tastes.

  17. Filter by Popularity

    Hey there! I'd LOVE for the ability to filter my recommendations by popularity. I'm getting hit with a lot of popular films, and I know I can filter by # of ratings, but I'd love to be able to sit down and say "show me the most highly recommended rare films based on my ratings".

    Thanks!

  18. Filter by duration

    I don't know why don't you allow to filter by the duration of the film. Sometimes I want to find a recommended short film and other times I don't want/have time for a 3 hours movie so i want them out.

  19. content warning/ability to have questions answered about movie

    I have PTSD and would like to be able to ask general questions about certain content. I realize that there is a lot of animosity towards "trigger warnings" and feelings that it's often misused, but there are times I genuinely really want to see a movie, but can't find any information about whether it contains certain content. Basically, I'm often forced to limit myself to light comedies which are great, but I like to branch out. If there's any way this issue could be addressed even if not through being able to have questions answered, I'd really love that, but…
