I think it would be fun to see some stats on the list pages (in addition to the percentage watched). In particular, it would be really cool to see either a ratings spread for how I've rated the movies I've watched on a given list, and/or an average rating. That way, I could compare, for example, how much I agree with the Sight and Sound list vs. the AFI list, or how much I liked movies in 2010 vs. 2012. Director/Actor stats like the ones on the stats pages could also be fun, as well as info about repeat watches, most popular, highest rated, etc.

At the bottom of every film page is a feature called 'popular lists', which shows us user-created lists that include the film in question. Nice idea, but it's boring. The problems is that so many users have created mega-lists of hundreds or thousands of films, which means that every list in 'popular lists' is called something like "The 5000 best films ever made", or "Every film that ever got nominated for an Oscar in any category" or "Every film beginning with 'B'".

This is boring because the films in these lists are not closely related to the actual film on the page - they're too broad. So you don't learn anything interesting. What the 'popular lists' feature should do is connect you to lists of films that are *similar* in some way, so that you can learn about other films that you might like to see. For example, if you are on the "O Brother Where art Thou" page, it would be more interesting if the lists were more specific things like 'Films about bluegrass music', 'Films about prison breaks', or 'Films based on The Odyssey'. This would make browsing the site much more interesting.

One way to do this would be to restrict the lists that can appear as 'popular lists' to those with only a small number of films in them, e.g. 50. This will block out the ridiculous mega-lists and only include the more specific ones. Which would be much less boring.

Hello, I just spent the past few hours exporting all my Rotten Tomatoes details to Letterboxd. :)

Just some suggestions:
1. First I love the 'Movies" page. It's cool seeing the movie posters all like that lined up, it’s a very compelling idea.

However, I have problems with the default filter for the movie view being "release date". Who has a use for this, besides someone stumbling on your page—they probably won’t want to judge a movie by newest movie in a person’s profile? Even if that is the intention, it should be filtered by number of stars awarded.

I feel much more useful would be "last watched" which isn’t even an option right now. It is logical, as any feedback is more likely to be relevant, as it will be for a movie which has been viewed recently, rather than released recently.

2. This has a flow-on effect. I sporadically review films which I have seen a long time ago if I stumble across an old film, it'll appear first on my "Films" page. So if I watched Pirates of the Caribbean in high school, and wanted to note that it was terrible, it’ll be first on my profile page.

On the profile page, the 5-pane recent activity module should be replaced with ‘last movie watched’, and below that, there should be 5-10 text entries for ‘recent activities’ which is the same information as existing.

3. I would love a sidebar that lets me filter two tags at once, for example "2015" and "action". Or a quicker process than adjusting the URL.

4. In addition to the above, maybe we could have an option that switches between a row and image view in the movies diary, as they have on trademe for example when browsing auctions? The movie diary could be more visual-focused month by month display of movies watched and a visual starred display, and this can be switched to a text-based format which has short 1-2 sentence previews of reviews by the user also showing the stars awarded.

5. There should be an option to filter according to 4 stars and up, not just 4 stars.

6. Combine the frontpage with activities page? I don't understand the difference. The Activities just shows my activity, as I don't follow anyone. However, in order to fill my activities page, I have to navigate to the main page and then return to the activities page to see any difference. My idea is to combine the two, and eliminate the activities ribbon on the top, which is just tautology.

7. Watchlists should link up with imdb/RT to show scores. That'd be great because at this point, I’m going to keep my watchlist on RT because it’s easier to browse there, and follow user opinions.

Cheers, love the site anyway. A lot of good stuff going on, these are
my suggestions and ideas. Ignore me if I don’t know anything about web design.

Feel free to send me an email to clarify, I'm writing this on a late Friday night.

I will be using it as my movie diary for now!
