At least in Opera the search function is not really working. Neither pressing Enter no clicking on the magnifying glass does the trick.

Reported, we don't really test on Opera, but we should.

(Do you have JavaScript disabled btw? That could be it: the magnifying glass doesn't do anything except change to a loading icon when it's fetching suggestions)

...but it's called movies.io.

So? movies are illegal now?

Make watchlists! Share them with your friends. Nobody's telling you to download films you don't own.

I liked the very very good UI/UX, good job! What are the technologies involved ?

It's a typical Rails 3 apps, Nokogiri used for scraping, PostgreSQL db (migrated from SQLite originally), jQuery+ui for the aucomplete (lazy, yay!), and that's about it :)

NICE! It would be nice if I knew the rip quality of the trackers though, I'm not gonna blindly download a crappy telesync without knowing

Hover over the 'download' link and you'll see the full release name :)

Oh nice tip.
