Fantastic execution. Enough has been said about the great UI. I am interested in how you got all that data.
TMDB/OMDB API's, crapload of scripts and lots of patience.

#132Login with Twitter and Google doesn't work. After authorizing , the "Please sign in" modal just stays there. I don't use facebook as a policy. So I did not try it.

#133I love it! So awesome. Great job.

#134Where does the data come from? TMDB is a great source. Letterboxd has a similar design and lots of curation features. Good job.
Letterboxd is beyond awesome, their only downside is suboptimal browsing experience. We tried to focus on just that!

#135Nice one. I'll definitely use this.
If you're looking to do something similar, this exact same app for books would be welcome too. Also podcasts, audio content (recorded letters), music, etc.
Discovery is an interesting problem. Between mobile apps & google's overall approach a lot of discovery seems to be based on giving you the right answer. Sometimes what you need is not the right answer, but a good way of browsing. I like filters and dials as a way of searching for things. It's fun.

#136Is this being powered by freebase? I was surprised that the site wasn't user powered - that is to say, it is basically a UI with filters to browse an existing database. Tell me if I'm right.
We pulled all data from TMDB and OMDB into our own database.
Did you mean IMDB instead of OMDB?

Dont recall twitters.
WHAT i would love to have is a way to mark the movies i have seen and perhaps filter them out from the list ! That would make my life easier in picking up movies !
Other than that, this looks amazing. Great work
