We pulled all data from TMDB and OMDB into our own database.

Did you mean IMDB instead of OMDB?

OMDB is the Open Movie Database - http://www.omdbapi.com/

I like this a lot. The only thing I wish it had was links to which streaming services I can go to to watch the movie, or maybe that is there and I just missed it.

I'm tempted to steal your concept and build a version of this for video games.

That's what I'd like to do aswell...

Metacritic support would be nice as well. Metacritic converts the scales for each rater to a percentage and averages them

Could you integrate with trakt? That way I could filter out all the movies that I have seen to better find recommendations.

I didn't even know about trakt untill you mentioned it. We'll look into it.

I discovered trakt a few months ago - it's great! They offer an open API and store the imdb id for each movie, so it shouldn't be a problem to integrate it.

Looks great so far! Are you planning to open source it? I'm sure, many people would be glad to contribute, including myself :)

Look awesome! How do you deal with copyrights ? For example, the images or the data associated with you display ?

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.

sorry for the late response. It is working now! Thanks for the fast support

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!

Awesome! Will check it out back in a week then :)

That would be great!
