#2Love how the frontend is implemented. It's also quite snappy. I've recently watched a tutorial on neo4j where they used this kind of app as an example. Is it built on top of a graph database?
One odd thing I noticed is how the actors seem to be ordered alphabetically starting with special chars. I'd fill all the tabs that have word values with the most popular/relevant ones as a default/starting point. Search results might also have a count (like Google for example) so users have a clue through how many pages they have to click.

#3Great job! I've long wanted to work on this problem because I think there's so much more that can be done. You definitely seem headed in the right direction.
1. I want to follow all my favorite movie-makers and actors and get an email every time they make something new.
2. I want to go through all the movies they've made that I missed.
3. I want to discover new great people to follow by finding great movies.
In order of importance, for me.
Good luck!

#4I think the best site for finding movies is this:
https://www.icheckmovies.com/
The lists are very addicting.

#5The UI is very cool. Very easy to use and quick to search and aesthetically pleasing.
Also thank you for not making me sign-up / sign-in with twitter first. I have already found 4 new sci-fi movies to watch so far :)

#7Oh, I will so use this!
Anyway, some feedback: When loading the page, a wild scrollbar appears (Chrome). A temporary overflow: hidden; on the body would probably solve this.

#8Where are you getting this data from?

I was contemplating working on something similar due to my frustration with not remembering which episode I watched last of something, thanks!
[Edit] The website has "keep track of all the movies and TV series you have seen" in the list of features but I wasn't able to add a show and check off episodes as I expected when I read that.

#10this is great! one suggestion would be to update the suggestions under each filter type based on the current search results. for example, say i'm interested in Sean Connery movies. now that i see the results, it'd be nice to further filter the results by rating, director, etc. the directors tab would show all unique directors appearing in the current search result set.
maybe there's a better UX paradigm for this drill-down approach, but i think it would be a great addition.
