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

None work for me either :/ really bummed because my girlfriend and I were just looking for movies to watch

You can do anything except add them to a watchlist! We did some fixing, please tell us if it's working now? It's hard to reproduce the error.

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!

Had seen an app demo from a Melbourne based company who does most of this and had an Amazon link. Haven't dived deep in as it was a UX testing session. Should I mention the name/link, not sure of the ethics of it when someone does a Show HN.

Wouldn't really benefit here as all you're showcasing is an Amazon affiliate link. If there's features they had over this one, or you were the person running that demo I think it'd be OK - but just for the purpose of showing an affiliate ID.. I don't think it's necessary. HN crowd knows what that looks like.

Don't know if it's a amazon affiliate link internally. Lets you browse movies and you can queue it or add them to watchlist. For each movie it shows if they are available on Amazon, Itunes, Netflix & one more

Cool work. I also liked the UI theme. Did you guys skin it yourself or used some theme? I really suck at front-end that's why I ask.

We didn't use any front end frameworks or themes. The "look and feel" of the site was mostly inspired by the works from Julien Renvoye, Gilles Bertaux and http://letterboxd.com/

I tried to steal without copying.

I am curious... how do sites like these make money? Youtube?

We make no profit whatsoever. Movieo is our side passion project. We could make money through ads(lame, not gonna happen), donations(we could add a button somewhere, but like anyone's gonna donate), amazon etc. links(we'll add those to movie page). Anyway I doubt we'll make any money on this. And it doesn't matter since that wasn't the point. We just wanted to make something cool that people would use. Also, we use f…

Ok then have a look at these guys and you may get ideas on how to make money. gyde.tv

Facebook sign-in doesn't work. Wanted to put things on watchlist, but didn't want to enable Post to FB.

We would never post to facebook on your behalf. The login wasn't working but we did some fixing. Is it working now? It's hard to catch the error.
