Searching For Movies

Simple Search (Search -> Simple)

Genre

Each movie can have up to five genres defined for it. For example, Shrek has 5 genres defined: Adventure, Romance, Animation, Fantasy and Family. Some movies only have one. There are 19 genres pre defined by imdb and you can define your own additional genre on the Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous screen.

If you want to search for a specific genre, just select the genre from the drop down menu.

Genre 2

If you want to search for movies in an additional genre, select the genre from the drop down menu.

MPAA

Each movie that has had the IMDb information imported will have a rating certification given by the Motion Picture Association of America. If a rating was not provided when imported in, an "undefined" rating will be given to that movie. To search for specific MPAA ratings or from a range of ratings select an option from the drop down menu.

If your parental control password is set and you select 'R', 'NC-17' or 'All' (since 'R' and 'NC-17' would be included), you will be prompted for your password.

User Rating

Imdb.com keeps an overall average of their users' ratings for each movie on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best. If you want to search for movies depending on the imdb.com users ratings, then select a range from the drop down menu.
