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.

How can we improve MovieLens? (if you have multiple suggestions, please submit them separately)

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Keep the sliders (similar movies)

    I found the sliders really helpful to find new movies based on what I had seen.

  2. Ask for system re-application ideas

    Ask users in what other areas a recommendation system like this could be applied where it currently may not be. Beyond the noise, maybe a user will come up with an idea that's insightful, cool and compelling.

  3. Provide overview of lens system

    Give thorough basics of how and why the system works. This may lead to more insightful user feedback, plus, in a certain sector, generate more user interest and involvement.

  4. Nice to know more about the workings of the system.

    How are film descriptive words generated, derived and matched?
    What are the film variables?
    How are variables used to form groups?

    Are film and/or book preference significantly correlated to preferences or aptitudes in other areas -- sports, hobbies, types of social activities, learning strategies, diversity of interests, etc.

  5. Allow us to rate combinations of genres / tags.

    For example I keep getting movies with the genres "Comedy, Romance" together which sums up the two things I most hate in a movie, comedy is good combined with other things (for argument's sake let's say action or adventure) and romance is also okay if it's a minor addition to other things, but if a movie is JUST comedy + romance I don't want to see it!

  6. Recollecting memory, improve film recognition

    Often I do not intentionally watch a movie. I just come across on telly (HBO, Film1, or just any other) I look how far in it is and if acceptable (20-30 mins) continue watching.

    The current overview of thumbnails is alright but what do i do here? What is the task in my mind? Rating movies! And for rating movies, I think:
    - the amount of movies is good, but
    - the thumbnails are too small
    - would be nice to see move thumbnails of the same move when hovering over
    - would be nice to have "infinity" page instead…

  7. DVD release status (was: buddies and DVD reases)

    I like the interface but let's not loose functionality along the way. Buddies were great for selecting movies both me and my wife will enjoy and DVD format (= watch at home) having a small child is a basic functionality.

    Thanks for the feedback. We’d like to add a feature where movielens knows more about format availability for the movies in our database.

    We have a separate issue (with lots of support) for bringing back the buddies feature, so I retitled the ticket to reflect your request for DVD release status.

  8. Set a movie as "favorite"

    Hi, it would be great to be able to set a movie as favorite ones : sometimes I adore a movie, but I rate it lower than another one I don't like so much (because of the mood, etc). It would be nice to be able to flag our favorites movies - the one you would bring with you on a desert island.
    This could eventually be achieved with lists (https://movielens.uservoice.com/forums/238501-general/suggestions/5533426-can-we-keep-a-list-and-number-of-the-movies-we-ve), but an heart icon that you click next to the stars (or something like that) would be even more nice. (like on senscritique.com)
    thanks !

    Thanks for the idea. Letterboxd also has this feature. I think lots of folks would like this.

  9. Make the UI mouse friendly and keyboard friendly

    Right now, in the main page, you cannot scroll horizontally with the mouse.
    Before releasing a new version you should check that the UI can be operated by keyboard only and by mouse only.
