#2I never have too much to say beyond "cool" for these sorts of things. So a few comments to help improve the site is the best I can do.
A little too much motion going on in the background with just enough jitter to give me a headache. It might be better if it could be made buttery smooth or perhaps slower scrolling to try and reduce the jitter? I like the effect you were going for though! It's the smoothness of the animation that causes the problem for me.
"Did you mean?" would be very helpful for searches. I typed "Pupl Fiction" on accident. Movies with more complicated names or tricky-to-spell words might be difficult to search.

Thanks for the feedback! I settled on the current speed after showing it to my friends, but it seems like your computer is rendering it in a different framerate leading to the jitter. Do you know of a way I can increase the CSS animation framerate without changing the speed? Otherwise I'll just reduce the speed to reduce jitter.
I have autocomplete on my to-do list for features but decided to just ship it before the scope of the project got out of hand. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm at work so can't help further - but "transform: translateX()" should be used instead of positioning relatively to the left/right for movement. It will make it a lot more smooth. Unfortunately it moves your "strips" over the static background image and breaks the effect. Adding a repeat-x; to them didn't'fix that problem.
I'm sure it's fixable but I can't think of how offhand, and as mentioned... at work. But that should be a good starting point for you. :)
Always good to just ship it! I half-figured it was on a to-do list given the nature of the project.

That's a good idea, I'll look into it. Thanks!

#6As far as I can tell, this is no better than IMDB except for its superior feel of design. Even regarding design most people like to go with minimalist these days.
I understand that this is development version, what kind of search are you using as I could'nt match "grave of fireflies" but got a hit with "grave of the fireflies".
Here are some things that could consider to differentiate from IMDB. Most often the reason I go to IMDB would be for their rating, but the rating system is based on averages with probably some varying weights for the respondents(critics). But what I care more about is not what people have rated, but I would want to know what is the average rating my friends have given or even a certain group of like minded people have marked, this could be a more appropriate way for understanding ratings. This way I would'nt have to go about cursing IMDB every time I watch a movie.
