[QUOTE="jjnaude, post: 425557, member: 49583"] That would be absolutely brilliant. I often find myself scrolling through a list of movies, and finding that I haven't heard of 90% of them. That doesn't mean that they're b-movies though, it just means I don't get out much :P. Being able to see basic info on each movie eg. genre, IMDB score and maybe coverart would help immensely.
