Watchlist: Refine by Netflix streaming availability!

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Where can I watch this - Feature.

I would like a where can I watch this feature added to IMDB I also think it could help IMDB with funding, getting commission for advertising said movie on ______ network. Say I want to watch a movie, could there be a feature telling me where / when it is on so I don't have to check Netflix, Hulu+, HBO go, Cable, On Demand, Amazon, Blu-ray, DVD.

You need to show more site availability--sites such as Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, etc. I never see any sites other than Amazon anymore even when I know that the shows are available elsewhere.

In addition to my cable service and its premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) I also subscribe to Netflix and Hulu Plus.

I think it would be great if IMDb provided a service, even a paid service, where I could register my "profile" of the various programming sources that I have, and when I watch a trailer for a movie that I like, the service could tell me things like - This movie will be available via Verizon On Demand on date xxx. and This movie will be available on Netflix on date xxx. That way I can decide if I want to see it in the theater or wait for it on cable. Also it would help a lot to find movies and such that may already be available so I don't have to search each service and channel separately.

Like there is a link to amazon from a given movie, why no such link to iTunes ?

This appears to be a dead topic, but the integrations requested here would massively increase the utility of the IMDB app and watchlist functionality. Does anyone know of an alternative that provides a method for maintaining a watchlist and filtering comprehensively by streaming or disc availability? I've been using Flixster but it is missing features IMDB has, like the ability to manually reorganize your lists.

Why on earth would IMDb link to competing services without compensation?  I do not believe this leads to an actual usable business practice.

Companies collaborate with competitors all the time. For example, Apple and Microsoft support each other's platforms even where they directly compete. This is more the rule than the exception. Consider Apple TV as another example; Apple would prefer you purchase iTunes content for obvious reasons, but the platform consumes metadata and provides connectivity to a host of competitor content providers, including Hulu and Netflix. By supporting competing content providers, they enhance the value of the platform and increase market share.

The reason IMDB would include NFLX metadata is to enhance the service and keep users, furthering its larger business plan. By not having this feature, I've dropped IMDB for Letterboxd/TMDB, which does. Presumably Amazon/IMDB would rather keep users than lose them, even if it requires some collaboration with competitors.

If such is the case it should be renamed to AmazonIMDB. Their streaming stick is another club for the bully to carry. The corporate behavior of Amazon Prime Video reminds me of the cable companies.

i think it would have been better if neftlix and imdb was connected so we could watch movies and shows directly 

Links people, links. Too much nonsense talk. The question is how to link your imdb watchlist to netflix, so if there isn't any solution yet available on the web, it would be great that somebody would do it. I'd like to help, but don't know how to do it. Even would donate for it. If somebody does it, it deserves a gift.

You should add a section on where you can watch any specific movie you researched on IMBD (I.e. on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, etc.). This would help people to locate the movie quickly so they can watch it.

a option inside imdb that tells you what streaming services have the content you are currently looking at. what streaming services has this tv show  since they are all over the place. its possible this might even be something that might count as advertising for the service ie hulu netflix etc.

It would be really great, if when you searched a TV/Film on IMDB, it would show popular TV streaming service icons on the title pages, when they are available to watch on there. I certainly would be more likely to complete my Watch List, if I knew the titles were instantly available on my Netflix/Amazon subscriptions!

I think the where to watch feature is due for an upgrade. Right now IMDb only shows when something is available on Amazon. But it needs to be more democratic, showing when a film/show is available on Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Filmstruck, Crackle, etc. Currently, I keep a watchlist then have to jump over to justwatch.com and look at it's availability. I would love it if IMDb just incorporated this ability. Please do.

It would be really helpful if the watchlist could also be filtered by what is currently available to stream on services such as Netflix or Hulu based on the country we are in.
