Have you wondered how to pronounce a movie star's name when you are reading their IMDb listing?

Wouldn't you love to hear an actor say their own name on IMDb's actor listing pages? Please add a clickable audio file to Amazon's IMDb.com actor listings, with each actor saying their own name? For instance, how is Djimon Hounsou pronounced? Another one is Chiwetel Umeadi Ejiofor? I think being abl

voice over artist credit

I cant believe that IMDB does not include voice over artist in their professional choices. I find this outrageous and have asked them to include it but they wont do it without community support it seems so please add your support to this important positive change needed for their site. Thanks in hop

IMDb Answers should have the ability to provide proof

Since additions are always so easy to be approved and IMDb Answers seeks for additions, this has a danger of creating more unreliable data imo. Because corrections are always so much harder than additions. Maybe also make it so that data that is contributed via IMDb answers feature is not that hard

Still no foreign dub credits?

Why are there no foreign dub credits on IMDb? As someone who doesn't use English as first language, and with dubs getting better and better, It's nice to know what languages are available for a film and who has performed on them.

You cannot like or dislike Trivia for actors anymore

This was a great feature, and while on the iOS app it still shows how many out of people who linked it, the thumbs up or down is still shown, however this is not reflected on the website.

Why is NBR rating getting priority over PCA/MPA ratings

National Board of Review (NBR) is an American organization which used to be an "unofficial clearinghouse for new movies" in the early 20th century; producers then submitted their films to the board before making release prints. Thousands of films carried the "Passed by the National Board of Review"

Ratings: Ratings can be skewed and can completely misrepresent the actual quality of a movie/series

I believe IMDb user ratings are being misused and taken advantage of to boost up a Tv Show/Movie's popularity big time - more specifically with streaming and OTT booming big time in the past 5 years or so. In a country like India, where the demographic and population is huge and disproportionate in

Feature films in the News genre?

I've noticed that there are 111 titles in IMDb which are listed as feature films yet have the genre News. This combination seems implausible to me. Many of the titles listed with the News genre are dramatized stories with all roles played by actors (examples: A Fighting Season, I Used to Live Here).

If people can change to the gender they identify with why can’t i remove an age I didn’t put up if I DO NOT identify with it?

Honest question….. Some of us do not identify as the gender we are assigned… They are given the option to change it on their page…. Just like that some of us do not identify with the AGE that is displayed on IMDB…. I sincerely am curious how if birthdates are used in identity theft, and also used AG

Add categories for trivia (similar to goofs)

The trivia sections are one of my favourites on IMDB. Unfortunately, they sometimes get very cluttered, especially for particularly popular films or series. Personally, I usually have a limited interest in for example trivia of the sort "A worked with B in film C". Now, although this matter has been
