IMDB link to Amazon brings up a different video with the same name

IMDB lists "In The Mood For Love" a 1 hour 38 minute movie made in 2000 as one of their top 250 movies.  The link in IMDB for this movie takes me to a 16 minute short made in 2018 also listed as "In the Mood For Love."  How can we get this corrected?

Poppa: Where is this problem occurring? When I look at the top 250 films at https://www.imdb.com/chart/top I see Wong Kar-Wai's film Fa yeung nin wah (2000), known in English as In the Mood for Love, at #232. But the link on that page goes to the correct film, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118694/

Meanwhile, on the latter page, if I click on "More watch options" there is a link to Amazon, which takes me to https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000065R29 which is the correct film again.

Can you provide a link to the page where the wrong link occurs?

@gromit82 The link in IMDB takes you to Amazon where you are shown four boxes with choices.  The first box is Prime Video where you can rent or buy the video.  What comes up when that link is clicked is described as a 16 minute video named In The Mood For Love made in 2018 which you can rent for $5.99 or buy for $14.99.

Poppa: I understand now. It's the link on Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000065R29, for "Prime Video" which goes to https://www.amazon.com/Mood-Love-Rakesh-Kukreti/dp/B079R7G4P1/ rather than the correct film.

However, as this is purely an Amazon problem which does not directly pertain to IMDb, you should probably contact Amazon help rather than IMDb. (See https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/background-info-needs-correction/5f4a7c9d8815453dba0c34e7 for another discussion where the problem was on Amazon, not IMDb.)

Since IMDB is affiliated with Amazon, I was hoping someone in IMDB could help with this problem or know who to contact and how to contact them.  Apparently I was being way too optimistic in thinking that, but my trying to get help on Amazon was one gigantic runaround which I have no interest in repeating.

Thanks for flagging this watch now issue.

 

I have filed a ticket to our team and the link should be removed in the next 48 hours.
