Separate TV Movies from TV Series?

It would be very helpful if one could create separate listings for TV Movies and TV Series, just as one can now separate Movies, Videos, and the like. Especially when looking at (and printing out) the contributions of directors and composers, their occasional appearance within the listings of TV Series is completely different from their responsibility for the whole of a TV Movie. Since you already distinguish between TV Movies and TV Series, it would seem an easy tweek to make it possible to list them separately.

I assume you're referring to filmographies on name pages.
Just wanted to make sure you know about extant abilities to do this on IMDb, found in the right-hand column of the desktop version of the site:

Choose Explore More > Filmography by (any other than Job)
Then select Movies or TV:

and you can select which type of titles to view for that person, and select other criteria in other categories.

Thank you. I did not know about this capability, and it is helpful...sort of. Unfortunately, it seems a convoluted and cumbersome way to generate the kind of list I was looking for. I will go through all the steps required...but I still have to wonder why the basic Filmographies lists group together TV Episodes, Series, Specials, and Movies, when it would seem more appropriate to separate the latter. Especially these days, when a cable movie is MUCH more like a feature film than it is like a TV episode.
