FYI I looked for the top documentaries on Amazon (Rating 9-10). Saw Africa. Clicked the Amazon link. It took me to the wrong Amazon link for a different Africa: http://www.amazon.com/Africa-Greg-Wise/dp/B00B99QINY

EDIT - Seeing the same issue with other Amazon links.

This (multi-dimensional filter/search) is what I've been hoping IMDB would do for the last 5 years (and amazed they hadn't). Thank you, this is awesome, and an easy bookmark for a completionist. Although it weirds me out how much of the 7-10 sci-fi list I've seen.

Looks like the data from different sources doesn't always match up properly...for example:

Search for comedies, rated 8 and up, available on Netflix between 80-120 minutes long.

Towards the bottom, you see a link to "Loaded" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110374/), released in 2013. Only IMDB says it's coming out in 2015. And the link to Netflix plays this "Loaded" from 1994: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110374/

Overall though nice concept and execution...hope this helps.

This is fantastic. Really creative UI. I've already found several movies to add to my Amazon/Netflix watch list that I didn't even know existed.

Is there any way to sign up? I'd love to use it for movie wish lists and taste profile that auto-recommends. Otherwise, I may forget about the site (busy, etc etc).

If you like hacking on this sort of thing with a much larger dataset (hundreds of thousands of movies / millions of episodes) across dozens of streaming, dvd, vod, ratings, etc sources please reach out -- ablohowiak@fan.tv . You can see our current implementation of this on the iPad app under "smart browse". We're starting to work on our next implementation of smart browse soon.

Our problem is also fun because we integrate with MVPDs (like Time Warner Cable) and unify streaming/live/on-demand in one set-top box.

I think the best site for finding movies is this: https://www.icheckmovies.com/ The lists are very addicting.

I was contemplating working on something similar due to my frustration with not remembering which episode I watched last of something, thanks! [Edit] The website has "keep track of all the movies and TV series you have seen" in the list of features but I wasn't able to add a show and check off episodes as I expected when I read that.

You can add episodes if you want to.
