Prevent addition of films where the release date is years away
Some genious added many super hero films to imdb which are not due to be released until much much later. One has a release date set for 2019!? Prevent this kind of behaviour some way. Mission Impossible 5 has also already been on the site for many months yet no action has been taken (at least I flagged it when it was added). People are actually rating these too which distorts recommendations.
7 votesThanks for the info. We need to build up our movie database management tools to address problems like this. Coming!

tag auto completion when entering new tags to movies
It would be useful if one got auto completion suggestions for tags when adding new tags to movies. Similar to what happens when you type in a word in the search bar.

Top Rated Movies List
This would be a list of the movies rated the highest by the community. It would be similar to IMDb's top 250 list, or Rotten Tomatoes' Top 100 Movies of All Time list. I think that this would give new users a good place to find some movies considered good by (mostly) everyone to rate.

More sorting filters
Hi! Great work, I love movielens. I would like to have more sorting options, like sort by film length. And to be able to filter a search by recommended stars, like ‘only show movie with 4+ predicted stars’ for example.

User Appreciation
I think there should be some sort of rewards system for people who continue to use movielens. For example after rating say, 500 titles, could there at least be a thank you? It may seem trivial but in my opinion every one wants to feel that their input is valued and appreciated.
6 votesI think this is a really great idea.
Others: would a “thank you” email message make you feel good? Would you rather see thank you messages in the interface, or with badges/points?

Add a link to add to my Netflix Queue or Amazon Wish List
I would love to be able to add a movie to my Netflix queue or Amazon wish list with one click. Also would love it if ratings were synchronized. Synchronization with other systems is the future - you guys should be investigating!

Allow users to pick favorite genres (was: The selection of obvious genres is questionable)
When I press the "Explore" button I found a list of genres half of which are irrelevent for me. Either make the list of obvious genres dynamically chosen for my account, or let me configure it, or give me more of them in the menu, or whatever.
It gives me
animation
comedy
documentary
foreign (this is no a genre dammit!) Foreign to whom????I'd rather see
adventure
file noir
eastern
westernso most of the times I will have to click twice.

Dark theme
I tried to use Firefox's dark color switcher, but it overlays over the stars (so I can't se recommendations). Since your focus is movies, a dark theme seems logical. Many of your users browse this site with an HTPC. Many HTPCs (like mine) use dark themes,,, specifically because it's more amenable to night viewing. Please give us a dark theme option.

I’ll keep this idea open in case it attracts discussion. However, we have no ability to connect movielens ratings with Netflix ratings. We are planning to support import from imdb and export ratings pretty soon.

Cannot find the RSS feature from the old version (to see which were the last 20 movies I rated)
I really liked the RSS feat feature of the old version. It often helped me remember the name of the movie I wanted to recommend to a friend. I also found it interesting to see which were the last 20 movies or so I had watched and entered on the side...

Personal Categories
To aid recommendation it would be nice to be able to build categories, or playlists rather, into which one could assign various films. Recommendations could then be given for films relating to others specifically within that list as opposed to all of your ratings or within tags or genre....

Save your search options
I'd like to save my save options so I don't have to enter them every time I look for a movie. For example 2 of my most used filters are only movies released between 1995 and current year (2015), and it's something I'm not going to change in the future.
