Great interface. How about adding a small trailer button on each movie preview as well. Would save people time of clicking for a movie and then going for the trailer. Just my thoughts.

Already there. It's the play button in the lower left when you're in grid view, or the giant trailer button in list view :)

This is pretty sweet, but wish there was a way to filter to show movies available on netflix.

+1. I can't believe that still doesn't exist on the web. I have Hulu Plus, Netflix, and Amazon Prime accounts, but nothing will answer for me "Can I watch this movie for free somewhere?". Filtering by streaming service is a killer feature.

Wow, after playing with it for 60 seconds my wife and I found a Humphrey Bogart movie we had never heard of that we are now going to watch. You should work on adding Amazon video links to it with a referral code, could be a good way to capitalize on this!

Amazon and Hulu integration is on our todo list. It's unfortunate that we can't pull Netflix data since they're shutting down their api in 10 days.

Looks good, but the one feature that I find lacking (in this and other similar apps, like http://omive.com ) is the ability to "hide" movies I've already seen. Because otherwise I have to go through pages and pages to find a movie I haven't seen, let alone consider watching.

Multiple people said this, it's a shame how we didn't think of this before! We'll be adding this feature during the next couple of days! Thanks for pointing it out!

Netflix will be shutting down their API in 10 days. So unfortunately pulling their data won't be possible. We'll look into other services asap.
