I Heart Movies was originally designed as a manual install script known as Movie Database (MovieDb). Since 2005 when MovieDb was created, the developers have created quite an interesting service now dubbed I Heart Movies.
The developers of I Heart Movies are in the process of re-designing a good portion of the site, but in its current incarnation, it already demonstrates some really great functionality. The main purpose of this service is to assist your organization of your movie collection. When you log in for the first time, you begin by searching or browsing for movies you own. The search is really slick and recognizes your text as you search. After finding a movie in your collection on the site, relevant movie information is displayed such as a community rating, language, director, and the other users who have the movie in their collection.
Each movie has a section of tabs with lead to some other great features. For instance, you can view movie trailers, a photo gallery, a forum for each movie, trivia, and tags. As your collection of movies saved in the database grows you can browse the titles alphabetically or search them. Additionally, users can assign movies a rating in their own collection separate from the social ratings. The site has many social aspects such as collection sharing, borrowed movie management, and chat. Although I don’t own a whole lot of movies, I know a lot of you do, and I definitely recommend giving I Heart Movies a shot.
