Ability to see if a movie is on any of your lists without going to its page

Would be helpful if you can see if the movie is on any of your lists, without going to its page. For example if do a search and are going through the results, or if your looking at someone else's list, if would be handy to see if its on any of your lists.  This could be added text saying this is on list "name of list", or just hovering the cursor over an area and having your lists pop up, and it showing if its in any of them.

I have lists for movies that I own in various collectiongs of foreing,docu,english, and when I come across a movie it would be great to be able to tell that I have it, without having to click on the movie, go to its page, then go into the add to lists menu to see if its in there already.

maybe others feel similar!

I have a user script (works via Tampermonkey) that does what you describe, and colorizes titles according to the settings I specify (modifying the code of the script.) I didn't write the script, just found it online a few years ago. Search for "IMDb 'My Movies' enhancer". IMDb would be much LESS fun/useful without it.

so I just installed greasemonky addon in firefox, and installed that script. Restarted browser. But I don't see anything different on the imdb website. Not sure how it is supposed to work, but I did a advanced search to create a list of popular movies, and I wasn't able to see any different colors for ones that were in some of my lists?

It works for Chrome under Tampermonkey.
Don't know if the author still supports Firefox/Greasemonkey.
Here's a sample:

But you have to modify the color specifics.
On version 2020.02.28  [1.48], color specifications start around line 255. The next paragraph for controlling which list(s) get the color when a title/name is on multiple lists (var listOrder). Those are the only places I customize.
And you have to load the highlighting data into memory using the button on the Your Lists page:

I can't resist. Here's a cast list, complete with colorized people. The brown (actually DarkGoldenrod) are people on my newly minted list of actors with 100+ sound credits.

After I did highlight refresh it works. I also have V1.48, I actually just left chrome because srolling wasn't as smooth as on firefox, so I wouldn't of went back. Ok so green = it is on my lists, which includes having it rated, which I guess means its on my "ratings list". And it is in gold when its on my watch list. Both of these can be redundant at times though, because there is the watchlist button on most pages, which would be green, and there is also the rating , so I can already see if it has been rated. But It shows what lists it is in when holding it over the green, so that works for what I needed.

Any tips/ideas on how to get any more functionality by changing color schemes?

Else I will leave it as is, since I can now see if a movie is on my lists, so not sure what more I want, or can do with it.

thx ;)

I have over 100 title lists, and use a few colors. Here's an idea of how I use them (without the 3 people colors), and I prioritize "own":
      customColors["Your Watchlist"] = "DarkOrchid";
      customColors["Your check-ins"] = "DarkGreen";
      customColors["DefaultColor"]   = "DarkOrange";
      customColors["Your ratings"]   = "LimeGreen";
      customColors["Netflix Ratings"] = "LimeGreen";
      customColors["online free"] = "Black";
      customColors["own"] = "MediumVioletRed";
      customColors["WISHLIST dancing"] = "Turquoise";
      customColors["WISHLIST non dancing"] = "Turquoise";
      customColors["WISHLIST opera"] = "Turquoise";
      customColors["Watchlist, already released"] = "Turquoise";

Wow, my system is for once more simple! I think the default works fine, as long as I can see I have it on a list and which list that is, by hovering, that's great. Thanks for sharing this great extension. Had no idea, someone would have created this for imdb.
