Order by # of Checks by Friends
So, now we can see at a movie site which friends have seen that flick.
It would be cool if you could go on the "Unchecked films" tab and order the films by how many friends have seen a film. That way one could see which movies are popular among friends and could be watched to have a chat about.5 votes -
Only show movies from a selected langauge
Maybe you are on in the mood for a movie in a certain language. Allowing to hide non-"certain language" movies from lists will make it easier to find something to watch.

Less boring frontpage
In my opinion the frontpage of ICM is kinda boring.
The "Here's what your friends have been up to lately" is good but the right column is boring because that never changes. You could show it to logged-out (new) viewers but we members probably want to see something else each day.
The "Quote of the day" is decent and "News" is good.What I suggest is a section that says: "Latest comments". This obviously contains about 5 links to the last 5 comments made on ICM.
What else would be nice to replace the current content of the right column…

Link to Wikipedia page
I wish you had a link to the Wikipedia page of each movie. I always do this.

Recommended lists (sorted by ratio (favourited / checked) movies)
I'd like to search for lists that contain maximum number of movies favourited by me, normalized by total number of checked (by me) movies in that list. So the formula of "list compatibility rating" could be:
R = (F / C+10)
R - list compatibility rating
F - number of favourited movies in the list
C - number of checked movies in the list
+10 - normalizing summandI think this feature of recommended lists would be a great companion to existing movie recommendations.

Allow a "silent" check option, which won't post your check to linked Social Networks.
I don't always want to tell the world I just checked a movie, whether it's because it's a movie I have already seen ages ago and just remembered to check it, or simply because I don't want to spam my Facebook / Twitter with a 100 checks of shorts.
It'd be nice to have a way to check a movie without posting it to linked social networks.

Customize with FULL integration of PERSONAL lists added to WATCHLIST -- Huge Bang For Buck!
Adding a list to the watchlist is essentially adopting a personal list. When I add a list to my watchlist it should be treated just like an official list. For instance...
A movie's INFO tab shows all the official lists which include that film. This should be expanded to show if the movie is in any lists added to my watchlists.
The Progress page should have an additional tab, "Watchlists", which shows my progress on any lists in my watchlist.
Official lists give trophies but completing an "unofficial list" would award an "emblem" which would essentially be the avatar of…

Replace the old TV set in the header with something more "cinematographic"
Not that I don't like it but it seems to me a bit out of place, like using an old radio as main icon for www.icheckoperas.com. A film camera, just an example, would feel more appropriate.

Select a "VIEWED ON" tag for each film to tell us where you saw it ! (this tags each film as: CINEMA, TV, NETFLIX, NOWTV etc)
By adding this feature, other people can filter lists on services they use (eg NETFLIX UK)
You attract more users.
because the searches on Netflix are rubbish, everyone wins.8 votes -
Track how many unlisted movies users add.
Great site. I have a suggestion. You should somehow show how many
movies a person has added to the website (how many IMDB links added i guess). It would probably generate competition - movie fans can be very competitive and love the attention :) Just a thought6 votes -
More detailed stats on dashboard
Would be nice if the stats were more detailed.
e.g:
Checks: 1500
Official: 500
Movies: 1200
Tv episodes: 300
Rank: #6100
Rank title: ActorI know that checks in eps from tv series does not affect the official rank,
but affects the total number of checks, masking the true number, this is the reason why I dont check eps,
but I want to. So, it would be great if the stats were more detailed.that way I'll always know the answer to: "how many movies have you seen?"

Add an option to choose country (and language) for a.k.a. titles
Because many of us don't live in English speaking countries so most of the time it is not English titles that we see around.

iCheckMovies Most Favorite by decade
Now that IMDb removed their decade lists, iCM should fill the gap by having its own decade lists based on favorite/check ratio.

Allow people to download a screensaver based on films they've seen
On Last.fm they have a dynamic screensaver download where your screensaver is a selection of album art based on what you listen to. I think if it could be done here with the film posters (maybe with loved films getting a priority) it could be a cool secondary feature.

Show if film is included in any watchlists in INFO tab (in addition to official lists)
Currently a movie's INFO tab includes a display of all official lists which include the film. There is also a link to show all lists (official and personal) that include the movie.
New feature: I would like to see, in addition to the official lists, if the film is included in any of the lists that have been added to the "watchlist". These lists would be automatically displayed below the official lists. This would let the user quickly see if the movie is part of a list that interests them.

Allow users to have signatures for personal lists
We have signatures for official lists that display our progress on the list, but I think it would be cool if we also had signatures for personal lists.
There are probably too many lists to generate a signature for every list for every user, but maybe you can allow each user to select up to 10 personal lists, and then generate signatures just for those lists.

Include IMDB personal rating, and top list personal rating average
I am more and more wondering which lists i like the most.
And I am thinking the best way to find out is to get my average IMDB rating calculated for the movies I have seen / checked in each list. The list with my highest rating average must be the list I like the most! Statistics don't lie they say...
It would be a nice tool to see in what lists I am likely to find movies I like, and thus the list I want to concetrate on and continue to work on.
As this would require to get…8 votes -
add a feature that shows total length of all your checks
Like on the "myanimelist" forum, the total length of all views is shown, based on the length it says on the IMDb page for every movie, added up.

More stats on compare profiles
Now we see:
You vs. xxx:
1347 - 1005 (checks)
and then compares each of the lists and shows who wins.My suggestion is also show the total number of lists won and lost.
e.g:
You vs. xxx:
1347 - 1005
80 - 40 - 13 ties5 votes -
Give the possibility to display our lists on dashboard at the way we want
Give the possibility to display our lists on dashboard at the way we want (custom or recent), same as favorite and owned.
Add to settings (on Misc) this option:
Display most recent list on dashboard (instead of custom ordering)
