Movies you've already seen list should exist.

There should be a list of movies you've already seen and movies on your Watchlist that you've checked off should automatically be moved to that list so you know what you've see instead of it being deleted out of the list.

If you rate the film, it's already on a "list" in your account: Your Ratings.
Otherwise, it's easy to create a custom list, and easy to move a title from your Watchlist to that list using the desktop imdb.com (I don't use the Android app enough to comment on how easy it is there.)

To create a custom list, this button appears on any list you're viewing, although it's not so colorful on the Watchlist page, but still in the upper right quadrant:


When you're ready to move a title from Watchlist to custom list, hover over the "+" sign that allows you to add to the Watchlist, and see your custom lists:

Click to add it to the custom list, and click the Watchlist "+" to remove it from the Watchlist.
Once it's on the custom list, you can add comments if you like by Editing the list.

<p style="margin: 0;">There are many suggestions for a "seen" functionality (maybe there should be a function on the thread to merge the same suggestions into one) but I would like to add that it would be great if when you mark a show as seen before a new season comes out, that it is readded to your watchlist accordingly.</p> Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation Link : https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/mark-episodemovieshow-as-seen-and-subscribe/62e3e2c0c998636027ae76b3 Title : Mark Episode/Movie/Show as seen and subscribe

Hello,<br /><br />i'd like to keep track of what i have watched already. Over the years i've watched many movies etc; too many to remember them all. Which isn't good, because i'd like to watch all movies from some actors/directors etc. So i always have to think hard, when i go through the lists of those people, which titles i haven't watched yet. I have to watch trailers or read the plot to remember, which both i hate, because it costs time and i don't want to be spoiled.<br />By reading some of the articles on here, i came across the <b>check in</b> feature, but that doesn't fulfill my needs completely. It only helps a little, that i can see - <i>after selecting a title</i> - that i have watched this already.<br />I want markers/icons like <i><u>already watched</u></i> and <i><u>on watchlist</u></i> next to every title in all lists of any actor etc. As of now these lists are double-columned with title on the left and year to the right. I envision 2 tiny, new columns to the left of the titles with these icons. Alternatively you could place those icons to the right of the titles without creating new columns. Whatever is more pleasing to the eye. (2 pictures down i gave you an example)<br /><br />There are other websites out there, which take the data from imdb and provide the feature i'm talking about. The following picture shows an example. The site doesn't have lists or tables; they chose a poster format, where the icons are below each title. This could be a useful alternative to watch lists for imdb as well.<br /><a href="https://i.imgur.com/DJ4rI6z.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link httpsiimgurcomDJ4rI6zjpg"><img src="https://prod-content-care-community-cdn.sprinklr.com/26653d1b-7bb8-47bf-ac21-90f16f2e4b48/RackMultipart20181229179281799-7b5948c1-a103-4f73-80f0-d3099e3aa6a2-1746793062.jpg1546073503" title="Image httpsd2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnets3_images1769250RackMultipart20181229-17928-1799ifo-trakt_inlinejpg1546073503" /></a><br /><br />I love the imdb feature, which splits up the directorial etc activities to movies, series, documentaries etc. How about for each category a progress summary. I made an example:<br /><img src="https://prod-content-care-community-cdn.sprinklr.com/26653d1b-7bb8-47bf-ac21-90f16f2e4b48/RackMultipart2018122935574ad8w-ed8e4110-c43b-424d-85d9-60c4c0ba7194-1129746064.jpg1546074092" title="Image httpsd2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnets3_images1769253RackMultipart20181229-35574-ad8wuo-dw_inlinejpg1546074092" /><br />Here i marked two titles with a "D" for done and one title with a "W" for watchlist. You can substitute these letters with stylish icons as well. Next to the heading i added the progress. We currently got 30 movie credits for this actress. "2/30" i have watched already. This adds up to about "6 %" watched. From the remaining 28 titles, i got one on my watchlist.<br />You can argue about the counting method, because you can also have already watched titles on the watchlist, if you want to rewatch them. I'm not sure either, what would be best, but i think i'd kinda like to see the number 28 go down with every new title that i watch. Same as i like to see the watch percentage go up.<br /><br />A few other subfeatures worth considering are:<br /><ul><li> to select single episodes or seasons from tv series to mark them as watched</li><li>to give a specific watch date, when marking a title as watched (for example "right now" for just watched, "release date" for watched close to release of the title and "specific date", where i can choose a specific date in history or a year, where i think i might have watched this</li><li>give me timeline of all my consumed movies etc (sorted by watch date, release date etc)</li><li>when i mark a title on the watchlist as watched, delete it from watchlist (this might already be in place; haven't tested that yet)</li><li>let me mark future movies, tv episodes on my watchlist (and maybe give me a notification when they are out)</li><li>publish the watched list/watchlist on imdb for others to see</li><li>add up the runtime of all watched movies, tv series etc (if you are a movie buff, you can easily end up with a few hundred days of watchtime; <i><u>i love those numbers</u></i>, lol)<br /></li></ul><br />The reason why i want this on imdb is that i <b>love </b>imdb. I use it for years. But now that i have found these other sites which provide this watch feature (that i want for ages and have realized poorly on my own), i rarely browse through imdb anymore, because i pretty much have the same lists on the other sites, where i mark stuff watched on a daily basis.<br />But imdb is the bigger site. It has a better backbone/performance and the data is more accurate/up to date.<br />I've used the other site now for 2 weeks and have recorded a few hundred movie titles and tv series as watched. I still haven't reached the point of no return to come back to imdb, but i guess if i mark a few thousand movies as watched on another site, i wouldn't want to do that "work" on imdb again and you might lose me for good. I'd like to only use <b>one</b> movie site :(<br /><br />Is there any chance, that such a feature might be added to imdb as well?<br /><br />Thank you and kind regards,<br />Erika Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation Link : https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/tracking-of-watched-movies-etc/5f4a7bcb8815453dbae824f0 Title : Tracking of watched movies etc

The best way to track watched movies is to rate them. Once rated, the movie is in your 'Rated' list that can be searched and sorted in some ways. An annoying thing here is the rated mark is not shown anywhere except lists - this is the real problem. <br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" /><br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />The same is for movies selected to watch later (watchlist). They may be (un)selected with checkbox as the other sites do, but on IMDb they can be operated only in lists (yours or other users).<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" /><br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />So, there is nothing about 'new' features, but the existing features really need to be accessable on all pages (titles, actors, etc.), not only lists.

Reason is the soul of all law.

Regarding stats, on name pages you can find a link to 'How Much Have You Seen?' <br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/seen/nm0736622/" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/seen/nm0736622/</a> <br /><br /> But it could probably be better integrated into the site.

I thought about rating things as a work around as well, but a) i don't want to mass rate thousands of movies (many of them i haven't seen in years; i would just end up giving everything an 8 and be done with it; spamming defeats the purpose of rating) or episodes of tv series (this would just be too much as well), b) if it's not shown in the actor etc lists as well, it's the same like the watchlist feature (it doesn't help much, if i have to select everything one by one, i want that in the overview)

Congratulations upon your midway to 10.000 posts here ))<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" /><br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />I've never used the 'seen' feature, just because there is no sign it exists.

Thanks for this. I won't use it though, because it's just too messy compared to the real actor lists. And again, i would have to rate every episode etc to get it done. That's too inconvenient if you've already watched much, but have not rated everything after watching it. Just clicking a few thousand times the "watched already" button would be enough work.<br />It can't be hard codingwise to just duplicate the rate button and just make it on/off for watched already. That would be okay-ish for the start. The other features i mentioned would be the icing on the cake.<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" /><br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />

On the page I referenced you can click the star to mark a title as seen, and it counts in the stats. This carries over to other seen lists (eg, for other actors in the same film), but on the other hand the seen status is not displayed in other places such as title pages.

Ahh, now i got it. I thought that was only active by rating it.<br />It's a start, i guess. I will start marking titles as "seen" and i hope they expand this feature or integrate it in the actor etc lists as well.

It's a bummer, that the "seen" feature doesn't seem to work on the actual title sites. There you have to rate and can't just click "seen".<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />Would be great, if imdb could add this there as well. It's even more complicated to go to the 'How Much Have You Seen?' link and search for the title again; just for that.<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" /><br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />PS. there doesn't seem to be a "seen" list. The ratings list only shows 1-10 star, but not the seen. And the "seen" titles don't show up under Check in, which is odd: isn't that kinda the same?<br />PPS. it oddly works the other way around. If i check in to a title, it shows up as "seen" ^^<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />

I'm not familiar with the Letterboxed feature, but very familiar with IMDb lists.<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" /><br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />I don't understand your comment that you can't sort by Name. That is certainly supported:<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" /><img alt="" name="" rel="" src="https://prod-content-care-community-cdn.sprinklr.com/26653d1b-7bb8-47bf-ac21-90f16f2e4b48/RackMultipart202004309635811qx-946b5a29-6b3c-4bb2-a413-ed177edb3823-1556240498.png1588239137" target="" title="Image httpsd2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnets3_images1834252RackMultipart20200430-96358-11qxjda-image_inlinepng1588239137" type="" value="" /><br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />I agree that displaying Date Added would be good, but you can sort by that, and you can add your own comments to each title by Editing the list. That comment can include the date watched, which may be different than the date added.

When you rate the movies you watched, it automatically stores them in "Your Ratings" tab. Besides having the possibility to export them to Excel, you can also sort them by rating. In fact, the rating date is only visible in the Excel file. Idk if you wanted more options directly available on the website.

Letterboxd is not a feature it is a website. Check it out! I found it a lot more "featureful" and sits right in my style of having a movie database for my personal use.<br />You are right about the sort by. However, I kid you not, for some bizarre reason when I clicked the Sort by: I could only see List Order and Date Added and thought having only 2 fields to sort by was very limited. I can now see all the other fields you have listed above too. So the sorting is not a problem anymore.<br />Adding comments to the title by editing the list is tedious. Having a date watched field makes it a lot easier to sort by the date.<br />On the whole I find imbdb seems to only be catching up on personal database lists and the pages look dated and lacking in features, whereas letterboxd is a lot more current in terms of what a user's expectation might be in today's media rich world.

The date you rated the movie can be different to the date you watched a movie. You could rate a movie six months after you originally watched it.<br alt="" name="" rel="" target="" title="" type="" value="" />

<p style="margin: 0;">On the desktop version of IMDb, you get a list of your custom lists when you hover over the Add to Watchlist button:</p> <div style="text-align: center;" data-cannedresponseid=""><img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://prod-content-care-community-cdn.sprinklr.com/26653d1b-7bb8-47bf-ac21-90f16f2e4b48/Image1-b0cb77b8-b7ac-4859-b036-07fcfa56b451-506124361.jpg" /></div> <div data-cannedresponseid="" style="text-align: left;"></div> <div data-cannedresponseid="" style="text-align: left;">Are you suggesting something for this UI, or for an app?</div> <p style="margin: 0;"></p>

<p style="margin: 0;">I find it's easiest to add titles you want to watch on your watch list then tick them off as you watch them.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"></p> <p style="margin: 0;">To make it easier if you have loads to watch use your lists (click on your name then lists) and then you can list them in different lists for the priority you want to watch them in e.g. movies (low priority), movies (medium priority) and movies (high priority). I do the same for TV series and different streaming services so I can watch the films I want to see most first then work down my list!</p>

<p><a href="https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/users/5f495612c17a0660597f5091" style="color: '#0063ce'; text-decoration: 'none';" data-id="5f495612c17a0660597f5091" data-username="bderoes">@bderoes</a> .&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0;">Yes I know this and already mentioned in my post that we <span>can manually create a list. There is also a <strong>Check-In</strong> list that acts as a COMPLETED movies list. This is not my question.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span>Here have a look at this blue areas in my watchlist: </span></p> <div style="text-align: center;" data-cannedresponseid=""><img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://prod-content-care-community-cdn.sprinklr.com/26653d1b-7bb8-47bf-ac21-90f16f2e4b48/IMDB1-70c1469a-371b-44e2-b9f5-7dd0239f0d27-114181410.JPG" /></div> <p></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span>Does this green marks look PENDING to you? these are icons that are used when something is COMPLETED/WATCHED. not something TO BE WATCHED. But in IMDB it is the complete opposite. Here this icons are used when you add a movie to your Watchlist.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span>According to IMDB official docs, <a href="https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/track-movies-tv/watchlist-faq/G9PA556494DM8YBA?ref_=helpsect_pro_2_2#watchlist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> is the definition of watchlist:</span></p> <h2>What is a Watchlist?</h2> <p style="margin: 0;"><a href="https://www.imdb.com/watchlist">Your Watchlist</a><span>&nbsp;</span>is a great place to track the movie and TV shows you <strong>want to watch</strong>. They are the movies you want to watch. So that green mark is definitely misleading.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"></p> <p style="margin: 0;">So I am suggesting to replace those green marks with one of these icons:&nbsp;</p> <div style="text-align: center;" data-cannedresponseid=""><img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://prod-content-care-community-cdn.sprinklr.com/26653d1b-7bb8-47bf-ac21-90f16f2e4b48/watchlater-833f8250-e91e-4500-8199-1414e6f4784c-1086183792.JPG" /></div> <p></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span>And use the existing green mark for the movies you ALREADY watch.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span>My other suggestion was to put two separate buttons&nbsp;here:</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span> </span></p> <div data-cannedresponseid="" style="text-align: left;"><img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://prod-content-care-community-cdn.sprinklr.com/26653d1b-7bb8-47bf-ac21-90f16f2e4b48/IMDB3-8382a127-10dd-40b8-a96e-f1d3e8d0ba1e-116028452.JPG" /></div> <ul> <li style="text-align: left;">One one the buttons would add the movie to the list of movies TO BE watched (Watchlist). And icon will be a PENDING icon.</li> <li style="text-align: left;"><span>The other one would add it to the list of movies that have ALREADY watched (Check-Ins). And the icon would be the existing green mark that is currently used on Watchlist.</span></li> </ul> <div style="text-align: center;" data-cannedresponseid=""><span></span></div> <p></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span>This is not a platform specific issue. The flow is pretty much similar in both mobile and desktop. That green icon should definitely be used for movies that ALREADY WATCHED.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span>I hope this clear things up!</span></p>
