Remove inactive users from charts
Remove from charts users that don't check a movie for more than a certain time, like 6 months or 1 year. This will prevent cheaters who register and check lots of movies just to get a high position on charts and then never check a movie again. The accounts are kept and people can still access them. They only drop out of the charts in case of inactivity.

Comment on friends' activities
Since I can see on the main webpage the films my friends checked, I would like to comment on these activities, so I can ask him his opinion about it, and so on. I'm lazy to send a private message about it.

Create a movie event / festival / screening calendar
In simple words - please add a calendar, in which a specific user or group might add festivals, movie related events and movies (especially the obscure ones) screened in his/her region or country. This might allow other users from the group to find out and prepare for the event, and possibly attend it. This calendar could also be global (visible by all users) with the possibillity to limit the range of events to certain area by the use of tags (country, region, city etc.). It would also be great to allow linking to the webpage describing the specified event.

Collaborative Lists
Allow multiply users to edit a list. In addition to the current one-editor-per-list system, list creators could choose to make editing open to anyone, or have restricted editing privileges, where the creator has to approve new editors (similar to how groups work on the site).

Filter unchecked movies in favorited movies of another user
Filter one's unchecked movies in favorited movies of another user. This will allow us to check the movies which most likely one likes from the nighbor's movie. This way one need not wait only for recommendations.

Add tabs to organize the favorited personalised lists
Similar tabs to the official ones could be introduced. Certainly I would like it very much if it would be possible to organize my favorited lists in categories like director filmography/awards/country list/general all time best lists/...

Show similar movies based on most overlapping checked/favorited
On an individual movie page, I think there should be an automatically generated listing of "similar" movies based on the most frequently overlapping movies; i.e. the movies that have been most frequently checked and/or favorited along with the movie on the page by a single user.

create charts to show progress over time
if the data is kept, it would be nice to show how you've moved up in rankings (or progressed in a list) over time in a line chart

Dedicate more time to supply the movie artwork for individual titles.
After users add new movies from imdb, unfortunately the film artwork does not come along with it. While it's understandable that with so many movies it's difficult to make sure that "Winter Beast" gets its just due there are also new films that don't have cover art (like Bad Teacher). But in both cases it's just a bummer sometimes to look at your list of recently checked movies and see a few with no real 'identity' in the list, even though on imdb the art is readily available.

Incorporate "challenges" into ICM
By challenges I mean month-long film-watching contests each dedicated to different cinema niches. Challenge have a set of related lists, and only films from them counts. Usually such contests generate a lot of feedback to related films and lists and motivate participants to explore obscure areas of world cinema. An accent on challenges will be a huge bonus to ICM's reputation as a place for open-minded film viewers.
I took the concept from ICM Board, where this activity is very popular, but some other movie forums also hold challenges. Another model is Karagarga's 'Master of the Month' series.

Create a website-layout that is easier to use on mobile devices.
OS specific apps are nice, but designing the website-layout in such a way that it displays better on mobile devices (tablets and phones) is perhaps a faster solution.

Update names for recent foreign films that now have an English title.
There is a sizable issue that I've noticed with newer foreign films that initially had their Romanized names imported in, but have since gotten a proper English name.
Example: http://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/sseo-ni/ vs. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1937339/

Make it possible to create movie checking goals
The idea is basically to have a simple goal of how many movies you aim to check (similar to the reading goal on Goodreads). This could be on a yearly or monthly basis.
I think the idea should be as simple as possible, but you could make it more customizable, too. I'd say you should only include feature films, but you could allow yourself other types. Or you could make it "in <x official lists" or something similar.
In any case, it works well for books and would presumably be a relatively small feature to introduce.

Allow for 4 or 5 star ranking system.
Instead of "like" "Dislike" or leaving it blank, I wouldn't mind a system that allows me to rate a movie after I watched it. It would also be interesting to see what movie has the highest "star" and lowest "star" rating.

Allow more than one alternative title for films
Many foreign films are known by more than one name in English. Example Bergman's 'Gycklarnas afton' has the aka 'The Naked Night' but it is widely known as 'Sawdust and Tinsel'.
