Charts improvements
Hi,
First of all let me tell you how helpful this website is. Thank you for your hard work!
It's a bit confusing that there's overlap of years in the "release years of your rated movies" chart. For example, there's a column for movies released between 2000 and 2005, and the next column is for movies released between 2005 and 2010. So, which column counts the movies released on 2005? The former? The latter? Both?!
Also, the "your ratings over time" could use some interactive abilities (focusing on a specific time range, filter out movies by rating, genre and release…1 vote -
Upload Netflix Watchlist history to queue movies for ratings
Netflix let's users export their watchlist which is limited to date and title so not the best for exact version matches, but it would make a good fuzzy match to a set of movies with similar names. These could be asked to be rated or at least marked as possibly watched hint to ask later.

Rating comparison
A feature to compare two specific users - presumably yourself and a friend - showing general trends and differences. For instance, users may both rate 80s action movies higher, but one might always rate Stallone movies higher and another Schwarzenegger, for instance.

1 voteThe ability to reverse the “recommended” sorting option should be available next update. I think this will cover your use case.

Ratings - will never watch
There are movies that I can't rate, because I did not see them, but I also know that I will never watch them. To the extent that this system tries to identify sentiment, it is important that these can be ruled out. For example, I will never watch horror movies. Will never (knowingly) watch "advertised as dumb" movies, e.g., Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, etc. type movies.

Wow, thanks / this and that
Firstly, I've spent lockdown day 39 trying to find a replacement for Trakt. As a subscribed pro Trakt user I am fed up with the CRAP movies it suggests to me. It thinks I am a teenage boy who loves action, horror or frat comedies. Thank the frigging lord I found you. I have also extensively tried both Letterboxd and Simkl, and none were any different from Trakt. I LOVE the way this hides stuff I have seen, I love you can hide stuff you don't want to see, for whatever reason, and I much prefer the movies it is…

IMDB "TV Mini Series" Classification
Many docuseries' that are technically classified on IMDB as a "TV Mini Series" are already in the database (ex. Jinx, The Staircase). However, adding them via a IMDB link always get rejected because of the "TV Mini Series" classification. I don't mind emailing the link for approval, but maybe this can be straightened out?

So I click on a movie to rate it...
And then I rate it. And then... I click back? And start back at the top of the list? Not very intuitive. Or efficient?

Don't publish average rating or let it make invisible in the settings
Average ratings may affect on my my personal rating sometimes. Especially when I've seen movie already. Please let this indicator be invisible in the settings. Thanks.

Optional Warrior+Wizard Recommendations Average
Of course, this could be done manually, but it would be interesting to have a way to average both The Warrior and The Wizard recommendation scores, or have a way to display both on a movie's page.

Using matching / and add favorites directors/writers
I’m not sure how the algorithm works, but I think if you implemented a matching system with other people based on their likes/dislikes that would take MovieLens to the next level.
For example, if Joe gave movies A, B, and C a 5 star rating and Karen, Tim, and Sandy also gave movie A, B, and C a 5 star rating, MovieLens should be able to identify other similarities between Karen, Tim and Sandy to give Joe a recommendation and make a list for them saying something like, “Movies people love based on your love of Movies A & B.

Systemize or categorize tags better.
Create some sort of organization for tags and remove redundant tags like "surreal" "surrealism" and "surrealist" or "dreamy" and "dreamlike". Or have a way to have all of these tags under one banner, something more convenient or streamlined.

Make the homepage load faster
The homepage is the most important page, and it seems to load quite slowly (at least for me, it takes more than 3 seconds). I wonder if recommendations could be pre-computed for each user to make the page load faster.
Or a quick fix could be at least showing gif with some fun animation to make the time pass faster :)

Tell what’s free/available
In the description of each movie, you can have a section where it says if can be streamed on Netflix, Stars, Prime video, etc. so we can know if we can watch the movie or not
