Can I make public lists my own?
Can I make public lists my own. Hopefully in a way requiering less work than adding every single list item to the new list.
I only want these lists for my private use, not stealing views from the original list creators.
As it is now, I have to search for lists on interesting subjects using Google search and the opening the links in the app. It would be so good to have everything easily available in the app.

Stein: I think this is what you are looking for. These instructions are all for the desktop version of IMDb, though. I don't know whether it can be done directly on the app.
1. Create a new list of your own, but don't add any items to it. Set the list as "private".
2. Go to a list that you want to copy. Example: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls525325077/
3. At the upper right part of the list, there will be buttons labeled "Export" and "Copy". Click on "Copy".
4. On the next screen, near the top of the list, there will be a checkbox labeled "0 selected". Check that box.
5. You should now see that all the titles on the list are selected. In addition, there will now be a clickable "COPY TO" link. Click on that.
6. A pop-up box will appear titled "Copy to another list". It will say "Your Lists" and "-- Select a List --". Click on the down-arrow and a list of all your lists will appear. Select the new list you just created. Click "Save".
7. Go back to the page with your list and reload the page. The other list should now be copied over into it.
Good luck!
