Filming Locations for TV Shows
Since many tv shows are filmed at the same locations for many episodes, it would be very convenient to have the “copy from previous episodes” option when adding filming locations for tv episodes.

Modify restrictions on marketing credits
Existing rule: There are certain types of credits that we do not list unless they are specifically credited on-screen: these include work on marketing elements of a title (work on key art, trailers etc.), or on non-theatrical versions (e.g. DVD authoring, supplemental materials, captioning etc.), or

Highlighted Review - banded
When you see the single highlighted review, it is far too individualistic to be useful. What would be better as a visitor would be to have eg three band rating ranges - 1-3, 4-7 & 8-10 - (or similar eg 1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-10) and show a top review for each of these bands, so that you are presented on t

Period genre?
There are number of period/historical films listed on the database. For history, the rules are strict that it should be a film about real events. But since there are a number of films which have a period setting, why don't we have the "period" genre in the list as well? A lot of period films have be

JUSTICE FOR PRODUCTION OFFICE
Hi there! I think it's high time a PRODUCTION OFFICE section is added as part of the crew. Anyone who has worked on a film will back me up on this - there is no production without the production office. These are the people that organise and orchestrate the whole show. If a production is going smoot

Explain the reason of submition rejected
Hi, As many others, I wish to know what failed when a submition was rejected. The sentence "check our guidelines" may be vague and for some people, the detailed feedback would be a learning instead of a frustration that would cause again, and again, and again to submit the same mistake. I suggest so

Written by “one sole person” (in alphabetical order). STOP this nonsense.
Don’t know about you, but I, for one, am sick and tired of seeing the attribute “in alphabetical order,” in the writing credits of movies that have one sole writer. One random example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15255876/fullcredits/ Writing Credits (in alphabetical order) John Patton Ford There a

Ellen Page (and others)
Ok, fine. Someone wants to change this and that and be known as a new name. I get it. That is a conversation for another place. My issue is this: My copy of Juno has the credit listed as Ellen Page. IMDb changed the actor's name to Elliot Page but did not leave a 'credited as' for any of the titles

South Korean tv/movies
Hi I know IMDB is used for a variety of useful information regarding films and tv series, but what I find frustrating is that the popularity of South Korean programming isn't showing up as much as they should in IMDB listings. I find some listings but not nearly enough to reflect the massive amount

Sub-Titles. Should IMDB include a section about how much screen time is used with sub-titles? (Example 20% French or 45% Japanese)
Sub-Titles. Should IMDB include a section about how much screen time is used with sub-titles? (Example 20% French or 45% Japanese) Is there a section on imdb.com where I can find out if a movie has sub titles? My wife hates to watch movies with subs. She doesn’t mind a few but if a film has a lot of
