Amavel, do you think you could share your script? :)

I wanted this so much, I made a script for it, also with the rating and some other search buttons: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3J40-U3KcODQmgwQmNxaHpGS3c . But getting info for each movie from imdb.com is not really nice. I would like icheckmovies to query their own database for this.

@Knaldskalle .. lolz ..finding it 6hrs "long" is better than me finding it just 6 minutes 'short"... hehe

Which runtime do you add though? The NTSC runtime will always be longer than the PAL runtime - usually a difference of 4 to 5 minutes during the course of a film.

I concur! It's cumbersome to travel all the way to IMDB to see run time.

Heh, I sometimes see an interesting title on ICM and read its IMDb info and regrettably find it to be a 6 hour feature film. :)

or atleast the title should be tagged as short film or documentary if it is not a full length movie as it is done in IMDB. many times i see a good intresting title and read its Imdb info and regretably find it as a short film. :(

I really like the 'sorting by run time' idea. It's always handy if you ant to see a short film or a long epic.

Adding sorting based on film duration also good idea

Adding film run times to a page and being able to sort by film run times would be really useful to me. Sometimes I'm in the mood to tick off a short easy watch and other times I'd like to get through an epic. At the moment the only way to tell is to check each movie individually.

just because some films have wonky runtimes, this feature is still beneficial to a majority of movies

On IMDB, they show the run time of the theatrical release first. So I'd suggest to use that one.
I think this would be a handy feature. Every time I want to watch a film, I always want to know what the run time is. Now I have to go to IMDB to do that.

The one that IMDB shows on the top left of their movie page?
We should be no means aspire to be a new imdb, but I often go to IMDB to checkt he length of a movie and think it is very beneficial to get that on icheckmovies instead.

The only difficulty is which run time to use. A perfect example is Das Boot.
