Intergrate TV-series
Make it easy to check episodes, with a great overwiev of series and seasons. Make it easier to track our progress on tv shows. But don't count the checks along with the movies.
93 votesWe’re thinking about how to implement this. TV episodes are now clogging up the search results

Improve comment system
Some things that bug me about the current comment system:
- I don't know when someone replies to my comment
- It's impossible to read them chronologically (not only is it ordered the wrong way, I have to read down to up, then scroll down, go to the next page, rinse, repeat).
- Quoting someone might be nice
- (maybe a bit too far out) liking comments and or mentioning people would improve discussion, but then again I just like the whole social/interaction/discussion part of the site. Might be a bit too much of a sidetrack of the site's goals.

When you watch a movie on your watchlist, it should be automatically removed once you check it
As of now, "Remove from Watchlist" has to be clicked separately, in addition to checking it

Separate useless personal lists from quality ones
There are ~2500 personal lists on ICM now which are interesting only to their creators, e.g. "Watched in 2011", "Watchlist", "My favourite films" and so on. People created them because they don't know how to use specialized ICM features for such tasks (Owned movies. Watchlist)
Several measures that can reduce their number or hide them completely:
1. Appoint moderators from power users who would regulate tags of personal lists and put useless ones in distinct hideable group.
2. Add privacy option to lists to access only by link.
3. Directly discourage creating of such lists on the "Add a list"…78 votesThanks a million for your feedback. We’ll look into this one.

Filter Movies on Lists by other lists. e.g. See what movies cross two or more specific lists.
Basically if you are working on two lists. You'll want finish checking movies that are on both list. So by being able to filter, let says the 501 Must See Movies with the IMDb 250, You'll be able to find out what movie you'll need to progress on the list at the same speed.

Integrate with Netflix queue and Amazon Instant Video watchlist
Your To-Watch list could be imported into your Netflix queue and Amazon watchlist, then all you'd have to do on those sites is put them in the order you want to see them. Right now I manage my film lists on multiple sites and it would save me time.

Make it possible to tick films again when you've re-watched them.
There are a lot of films you're likely to watch more than once. If it were possible to tick a film again when you've re-watched it, it would help users to keep track of what they've watched and when. It would also allow friends to see all that you've been watching - not just newly ticked films.

More personal stats + improving neighbours
These features may be very server intensive, but anyways, here are some examples:
- # of Checks per week/month
- # of Checks per decade or year (in a graph or in some other way)
- A top 3 of the lists the user has been most actively checking movies from over the past months.
I don't know much about how the neighbours system works, but maybe more weight should be given to a movie which two members have favorited, but very few other people have favorited. This way members who both like a certain type of obscure movie type can more easily…

Improve the search algorithm
The search needs to be smarter and prioritized. Example: If you search "Secret of My Success", the Michael J. Fox movie is not returned because one of the S's is a dollar sign. With only one character off, the algorithm should return the movie as a result.

Fix the quick search 'suggestions'
It does not work well.
Try searching for "Ong-bak" and you will get zero quick suggestions. Try searching for "ong bak" and you'll get "Ong-bak (2003)" as suggestion #1 and "Bus Stop (1956)" as suggestion #2.
Needs fixing!26 votes -

To make checked/unchecked icons in top lists updates messages
Hello! I really like icheckmovies but the new version hasn't got one awesome feature of the previous one. When I open inbox messages about top lists update there are little icons "checked" or "unchecked" on the left of the movie title. Very convenient! It would be great to have the same feature in new version. Thank you!

Shorten down the All-Time Worldwide Box office list
Shorten down the All-Time Worldwide Box office list to 100o or 200. It's on 621 now and the list will only be increasing. Or just dump the list, it doesn't seem to be one of the best ones. Or just take the highest grossing movies from each year etc. Or something similar. Look in the comments of it to see that a lot of people seem to think similar to me.

integrate with trakt.tv
trakt.tv could handle 'what did I already see' and ICM could focus on adding value through its lists.

Exclude lost films for awards
Some lists contain lost movies and can never be completed (Platinum award). These lost movies should stay in the list (e.g. with a red cross icon), but a user will not be able to check them. So the list can be completed and a user is awarded.
