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?

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?

Similar Movies, more search tools
When viewing similar movies provide more search tools, as seen elsewhere on the site. Specifically, the tool I would use the most is an option to show only unrated movies.

why my favorite movies (5 stars) have <4 star predicted
Basically my favorite movies (5 stars) have <4 star predicted, being them only 2, these two alone should be the pinnacle of my recommendations. By that the algorithm should automatically point the predicted rate to the maximum. In fact, most of the other film rating predictions on my list are accurate enough, with a margin of error, but those two 5 stars movies are very poorly predicted by the algorithm. Giving more importance to those 5 stars movies could have a noticeable effect in the general prediction and thus the recommendation system.

Change in the lookup algorythm
I have look up problems for some of the movie titles that I would like to look up. Basically, if I want to find a movie named RUN, I put run in the search box and I get about 100 movies that all have the word 'run' in their title. How about a way to tell the search engine that I don't want it to look for my search work in a 'contains' query, but that I only want to see movies that are only named "Run" that should shorten the list to only 3 or 4 movies. If this…

User experience
The recommendation engine is great. Not the user experience though. It sucks. I am a product manager, I can help you improve the experience.

short movie indicator
there must be a sign for short movies before we click on them so that we don't have to lose time. I am not a fan of short movies

More suggested categories
e.g. you liked X director, here's more from them, or you liked this genre, here's some more, or this actor, here's some obscure/popular movies you might like, classics/recent, etc, with the option to hide that suggestion category.

option to not see documentaries/specials
Once I switched to the Wizard recommender, I started seeing lots of documentaries and comedy specials. I'd like to continue only seeing movies as well as only have movies effect my predictions.
