Cool. Would love to use something like this to see what service I can use to watch it. Finding a movie is hard enough, it would be nice to have help finding how to watch it at the same time.

#24Awesome! Also - wouldn't it be better if Ratings, Votes were not ranges but had lower bounds? Ex. 7+ rating and 50K+ votes.
I saw that you can choose multiples, but you'd rarely search for a 7-8 rated movie and not want to see a 9-10 in the result set :)

#25If 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 int…
Is there a TV/Movie equivalent to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusicBrainz ?

#26Wonderful interface (once I realized that I was supposed to scroll down for the results).
The only parameter I'm missing is what country the film is from. British crime movies are my favorite, and I'd love to be able to filter it down to the UK.

This!
The actor drop down, year, directors all confused me. Not sure what you can do there though but looks really nice.

#28Neat - for my personal tastes, I've found that I only trust IMDB ratings and anything in the near the 7.5 range regardless of vote count - always hunting the missed movies. But can't find something like this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0220644/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
Searching on a rating of 7-8 and Johnnie To even if I put in 1-3K votes matching the imbd count. Which, btw, someone uploads to youtube every few weeks.

#29Obviously a good UI and everything. I would suggest adding rating as an PG, R, etc as another filter. Also if there was some way to integrate with netflix and filter out all the movies I have already seen from my watched list. There should be a third party provider that keeps track of watched movies/tv shows and your ratings for them that could provide an api to the likes of netflix and anyone else that wanted it. The problem with sites like this is like 95% of the results fall into the category of I have seen it or I already know about it and don't want to see it. An app that could accurately show me movies I haven't seen or heard of that I would actually want to see would be so incredibly useful.

#30Looks great!
But your "votes" section that I browsed seems to be listed rather oddly.
Items seem to be listed randomly.
They don't seem to be listed by title, date, number of votes, overall score, or anything really.
It would be nice too if you allowed the user to rank each list by whichever column they felt was most important to them.
