this is pretty and looks pretty nice to use. I filtered by "France", and the list actually got only 1 french movie out of 5-10.

We are using data provided by existing API's, and it's far from perfect in case of countries. Many hollywood blockbusters have numerous country tags. For example if one scene was shot in france, or they partnered with french production or something, it will include the tag "fr".

We have some ideas on how to make this more accurate. We'll be improving it in the next couple of days.

Login with Twitter doesn't work. After authorizing on Twitter.com, the "Please sign in" modal just stays there.

Thanks for reporting this sneaky bug (logins working fine for most people).

We're looking into this. If you could provide any additional info about the error, it would be very helpful for us! Thanks

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.

You can do this on the fan tv ipad app.

Doesn't load main content for me in FF. Console says "SecurityError: The operation is insecure." line 2 in http://www.movieo.me/assets/after_load/application-f2fa75b0d... .

It's working fine for me in FF 32.0.3 and Chrome 37.0.2062.120 (64-bit)

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.

How about crowdsourcing?

Only netflix, but http://whatisonnetflix.com/ (sorts them by imdb or rottentomatoes ratings)

edit: I didn't realize they were shutting down their api to 3rd parties very soon. I'm assuming this won't work after that

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.

Ah, well, at least Amazon and Hulu have some sense :) Looking forward, I will be using this site frequently I'm sure.
