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 -
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.
28 votesWe 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.

Show movies by similarity
I'd like a way to view the list of movies organised by similarity, e.g. setting, script writer, adapted from same source / remakes.
27 votesI’m interested in hearing ideas from movielens users on how we might operationalize these features.

Add a language filter for searches
One of the features that kept my interest with Movielens was how varied the nationality of the recommendations I received. looking at my current recommendations the top ones are all western films or foreign films that were redistributed in the west. Would it be possible to add a filter by language and/or nationality?

public profiles
It would be nce to have a public profile, nothing really fancy, just a clean user profile so we could have a "home" for movies but also a personal page to share with friends =)

Sort by "predicted rating vs. average"
When I come to movie lens, I care less about what other people think about movies. (When I do, I got to IMDB/RottenTomato and look at their lists.)
And I assume that if one prefers a particular genre, then they wouldn't care about if it is a 3-star or 4-star movie in other's mind.
So what I wish is that the personal preferences shall considered, and the predicted rating - average is a strong indicator for genre preferences.

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.

Easily dismiss recommendation, i now hide the movie
There are movies that i do not intent to see, so i cannot rate them negatively because i haven't seen them, but i want the "system" to know not to recommend them.22 votes -

Links to somone's ratings for sharing
Sometimes I'd like to give someone a link to my top-rated movies. But links like https://movielens.org/explore?hasRated=yes&sortBy=userRating won't work since there is no user-id.
Sharing my ratings might increase the awareness of your service too

Bring Back "Streaming Service" Filter
That was the primary search function that I used. Disappointed.

hide spoiler tags
Tags sometimes spoil a movie when I'm browsing (e.g. plot twist, happy ending, father-son relation in The Empire Strikes Back, etc.).
It would be nice to have the option to hide sensitive tags for unwatched movies, but still using them for the recommendation.
To determine what a "spoiler tag" is like, it could be labelled as so clicking on the + sign next to its name.16 votes -
Search by rating prediction
I would like to be able to search by what the prediction machine thinks i will rate a movie. For example, it would be nice if i could see all the movies that it thinks i will rate above a 4.25 within the horror genre, or all movies above a 4.00 from after 2010, etc. That would be such a helpful feature.

Justify the Personal Ratings
Tell us why MovieLens rated a particularly movie so high or low. Cite ratings on a couple of similar movies, and list the top 3-5 tags that contributed.

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.

Language Filter
The option to filter by language has been suggested I see. However, it should be taken a step further. It should include the option to filter movies only in English (or whatever language), not just all films that have multiple languages including English.

Why this project doesn't have a Github?
It would be great if exists any open repository with commiters and contributors and people could implement more interesting features together?
14 votesIt’s a cool idea, and worth further consideration. However, it is currently unlikely to happen given MovieLens’s utility as a research platform for our graduate students.
