Can't find the roles of a specific actor anymore (Advanced search replacement)
Previously & until recently, when I want to know what movies a director (Say, Spike Lee) has "directed", you can just filter the results for Spike Lee and filter them down to only films he was the director in (as opposed to all films he was in whether he was the main actor or got just a "thanks" credits), and then filter it further to only the films I've rated. In a nutshell, I can see all the movies Spike Lee directed AND I've already watched.
IMDb migrated this, and changed it; it is impossible NOW: you EITHER can find films he directed through Spike Lee's page OR IMDb takes you to the "Advanced Search" that lets you find the Spike Lee movies I've rated. Can't do both, which is literally going back instead of enhancing IMDb.
TLDR; Before we had the option to filter a person's work based on film we watched (or didn't) AND the films he was in in a specific role (director, actor, etc...) at the same time, now we can't.
Please either revert back to the old ways or add this to the new advanced search.
