  1. Put the Add to wishlist button back on movie icon

    I loved before the new look being able to just add movie to wishlist when seeing it in some list. Now I have to either click the three dots or open the movie page to access that function.

  2. Put back the pin button

    I want the pin button to be accessed from the movie "card". Now I have to click the new button in the upper right corner to and then to click "Pin".

    It's a good practice to put important UI elements on top, not to hide them in a submenu.

  3. Search by low rated (rare), aspects of storylines, settings (beach)

    Some people (I am in this camp) enjoy low-rated movies - think: The Room. Secondly, rather than focusing on recommendations by movies in the same genre and/or by similar rating, I believe there are people that liked watching a movie like Point Break and then want to see more movies that feature surfing and/or the beach. To my last search question, the emphasis being on the location. This isn't a novel idea - people watch that include snow around Christmas. People watch movies that include bodies of water in the summer.

  4. after clicking on a movie allow for easy closing of movie and back to list

    I click on a movie from my recommended list and it seems like the only way to get back to my list is to hit my browsers back button. Could you make something that would just close the movie (a pop-out like this?) and then you are back to the list?

  5. Additional genre: Surrealism

    There's some films on here where the best way to describe them would be "Surrealism". However, movies like Eraserhead are getting called "Fantasy" instead. Fantasy is typically meant for films that take the world and fantasize it in some semi-realistic way, or even create a completely different world that isn't too unlike our own; surrealist films completely break down the world and have far less sense and order to them. I don't feel fantasy is an adequate description of some of the more surreal films, and I think it would be best if they were labeled "surrealism" instead.

  6. Clint Mansell tag does not work

    Clint Mansell tag does not work

    Go for example to this movie https://movielens.org/movies/48043 and click the tag, it goes to a 404

    It might be the space that is not properly encoded

  8. 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…

  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.

  12. 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!

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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 :)
