API Improvement needed for de-skewing ratings

I want to develop an algorithm that de-skews IMDB rating histories.

There are a few movies produced by the Navajo Nation, considered an autonomous country, and several silent movies produced in the Ottoman Empire, yet neither of these countries are listed in the pull-down menu.

Reset Pass Word

Would it not be a GOOD idea to put the message block for password recovery at the first page of the website instead of it being buried in later pages? I guess this is asking to much, or there is insufficient knowledge of web site programmers to think of such a concept. Anyone in the site technical s

Copying credits should not include order and attributes from first episode of selected set

Mandatory reason for decline

Hello, I'd like to suggest a simple thing: when a review gets declined, there should be a mandatory reason mentioning the reason for.

Identifying every actor in a cast (See: Aveleyman)

Anyone here familiar with Aveleyman? Their goal is to identify as many actors as possible, in as many titles as possible, with a screenshot for each. This is helpful when you are unable to figure out who played who from the cast list alone. (How many character names stick in our heads?)Here's a samp

Adding Movie Titles

Right now it seems as if I have to scroll to the bottom every time to add new titles, should there be a box at the top of the page to search and add titles without the incessant scrolling.
