Add Images

I regularly contribute data to IMDb. I don’t use IMDbPro. I understand I can add images to title pages but not to name pages. Many name pages are lacking primary images. Often these are supporting actors. Of course, for fans images help to bring names and faces together, especially if they are not

Optional extra information for each keyword

I'd like to see an option to add extra information to a keyword, as it applies to a particular title.For each keyword on a title we'd see the following checklist. We'd check the item that applies.__ (1) person, thing or visible quality (such as nudity)__ (2) person, thing or visible quality (off-scr

Keywords: Implement a Hierarchical System

So some users on here (chiefly keyword warrior) spend a lot of time sorting through keywords to isolate redundancies. Takes a lot of effort. But another thing that might be useful is isolating what keywords have hierarchical parents. I'll use detective as an example: anything tagged with "male

Loop / Walla / ADR credits should NOT be Miscellaneous Crew

I get that IMDb wants Loop / ADR credits to be listed as "Miscellaneous Crew". But it's wrong. It should be "Actor", either "voice/various" or simply "loop / walla / ADR". Why? It's a real skill, a real job, one that earns union wages and even residuals in most cases, requires acting chops, and is n

Please add "Listen Free" link to our podcast page

Our podcast is available on Amazon Music and we'd like to add the "Listen Free" link on the title page. I submitted the IMDb contact form, but the reply I got from IMDb staff Charlie says I should submit this as feedback here!! IDK why he said that! Because, as seen in most of the similar

Teaser/Motion Poster Section

IMDb currently doesn't have an option to upload teasers/motion posters, so it compels us to upload teasers to the trailer section itself. So logically, the system considers both teaser and trailers as trailers even though the teaser has less prominence, and the system doesn't consider the keyword

Add easier support for merging keywords

There needs to be an easy way to merge keywords when there are entries which are basically duplicates. Plenty of mere synonyms such as "marriage-problems", "marital discord" and "marital strife" would be more effective if there was a single entry. Only more specific entries like "marital argument" n

Publish or specifying the time for scenes under Parent Guide section

​IMDB's "Parents Guide" is a very useful section that I often visit before finalizing on a movie, especially the area "Sex & Nudity" and "Violence & Gore". It ensures if the movie is appropriate for me to watch with my kids and prevents any awkward or embarrassing scenes. Along with this val
