Maybe a better search function
Was searching for the Movie “A Sun”. Could not find it. So I added a link from IMDb. Then “it” says the movie was already there. With a filter search I could find the movie. Not the most ideal way

Mobile site issues
The mobile site on chrome for iOS doesn’t work very well. I can’t advance to the next page of movie titles. Can there please be a setting to turn off artwork and see movies in list view?

new way to sort films
honestly i dont know how thats not a feature yet - to have the ability to sort movies we havent watched yet by the rating the site predicts because the wizard prediction system is pretty good

Make movies sortable by length
Pretty self-explanatory. It would be nice to have movie length as an option under filters as well.
1 voteInteresting idea. I think that should be pretty do-able.

Recomendations
Whatever your system is it isn't very good. I rated a movie a 1 star and you recommend the sequel? Why would i want to watch the sequel to a movie I hated? You need a complete overall over your system clearly.
1 voteWhile we won’t be overhauling our recommendation algorithm, we do hope to review the tuning of their parameters. Until them, please see the comment for advice on how your personal recommendations might be improved.

Allow a page for "rare movies" "unusual dislikes" "unusual likes"
These used to be links to see all result but now it just shows you 5 or so and you can't see the others

API to notify on new ratings
It would be nice to have an API where the user could register to get a request when some events occur, like when the user rates a movie.
With that we could integrate with services like IFTTT to trigger some actions upon rating like sharing with friends, add to other services, etc.1 vote -
Ignore caps
Have you thought about ignoring capital letters in tags? There's tags like "medieval" and "Medieval". This merge would help show more accurate tag results, especially for less popular films with this issue.
1 voteThis is something we want to do (in fact I would say half our code does ignore capitalization), so I would call it a bug that the other half doesn’t!)

Streaming or purchase sources
It would be great to have streaming sources identified in each movie's listing, for example, hyperlinked to Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc. where available. (Country specific would be ideal -- I'm in Canada and streaming options here are different than in the US.) I'm sure you could work out associate revenue when links are followed. It would save us time looking them up.

What Does a Title Highlighted in Yellow Mean?
When I'm browsing suggestions, some of the movie's title cards will have a yellow background, while the others are just white. I couldn't find an explanation as to why?

Improve site performance
I started using movielens a lot since i dicosvered it, but both in windows 10 (with firefox) and on a web browser in my android phone i find the site slow to load and to navigate around sections. it's really noticeable on phone devices.
Thank you for your time and effort.

Improve the "Watch Trailer" feature.
Some movies seem to point to incorrect videos instead of the actual trailer when clicking "Watch Trailer", for example a few I found today:
https://movielens.org/movies/1945
https://movielens.org/movies/1090
https://movielens.org/movies/163645
https://movielens.org/movies/142488
https://movielens.org/movies/26131I'm not sure how it's being done. Though using YouTubes API query endpoint to search for movie name + " trailer" and using the first result shouldn't cause this issue no?
