  9. Who's in this? Oh! They're from...

    When a new movie trends and I don't recognize anyone… but I think I do.. and then I see a tab that tells me where they were from (probably a popular but niche film/tv) and I relax because I've itched the exasperated goblin in my brain. Most entert

  14. Favorite Artists List (Projects Grouped by Person & Role)

    Fans want a single place to follow their favorite actors, writers, directors, composers, etc. and quickly see all projects tied to those people without manually hunting across title pages. Today, there’s no consolidated, role-aware view. SOLUTION Add a Favorite Artists feature that lets users follow people (cast/crew). Provide a grouped view by artist, showing their projects segmented by role (Actor, Director, Writer, etc.) with sort and filter controls. Include “new & upcoming” indicators to surface releases at a glance. KEY USE CASES See all projects from people I follow, grouped by person, then by role. Filter projects by format (film/series/episode), status (released/upcoming), platform, genre, and region. Sort within each artist group by year, popularity, my rating/seen, or new to streaming. Get alerts when a favorite artist is attached to a new project or when an existing project gets a release date. Jump into a person page or title page with one click.

  15. Personal Tag Lists for Watchlists and Collections

    Give users the ability to create and manage their own personal tag lists. These tags could then be applied to their watchlists (and, in the future, their collections) to help organize content in ways that are meaningful to them—such as “Rewatch Favorites,” “For Halloween,” or “Family Night.” Tags would also be visible to others when viewing someone’s public lists or collections, adding a layer of personalization and discovery. This feature would let users express their taste more clearly and make their lists feel more curated and shareable.
