very cool i really dig it. one suggestion, the slider makes it a bit difficult to find recent releases, once you slide past 2005 or so you can't really easily adjust it. even still, this is a great way to view movies - nice work!

I'm teaming with a designer friend of mine for a redesign of ABQ. We'll keep this in mind! Thanks.

= rotten queue? j/k, great job! 2 things: I would enhance the 2nd bar to make one handle be able to push the other when they meet instead of getting stuck. Does Tomatoes not rate animes much? Filtering from '95 to today of 50%+ only returned 3.

As noted below, I'm teaming with a designer friend of mine for a redesign of ABQ. We'll probably get rid of those JQuery sliders as the don't work well on mobile devices. In any case we'll keep this in mind. Thank you.

I would like to see a slider for minimum number of reviews counted in the tomato rating. A movie that has a 100% rating but only 3 reviews is something I'd like to be able to filter out.

I agree completely. This is coming right after I get the 'add to instant queue' button in there.'

Setting the tomatometer to above 0% and the years to 1915-2012 with the filter set to just Gay & Lesbian movies only returns 21 movies. Netflix has 256 Gay & Lesbian movies available for instant streaming, many of which (among the ones I quickly checked) are reviewed on Rotton Tomatoes.

Is there a technical reason for this or is this a bug?
