JustWatch adds new lists feature and imports your IMDb lists

  • The JustWatch Lists feature now offers more than just saving and tracking your favorite movies and TV shows: Users can now create, share & import lists, discover list collections curated by our team and track their TV shows.

  • Browse and save lists from other users or import IMDb lists straight into JustWatch to enhance the lists with the JustWatch feature set.

  • New sections let you browse more easily through your lists and public lists, helping you keep track of the shows you are currently watching, now separated from the ones you haven’t started.

You love watching movies with the whole family on weekends and always have a good selection saved in your Watchlist. But Kung Fu Panda and the Minions make it hard for you to find the right title to watch with your friends on your monthly movie night.

You need a convenient way to have a resource for these occasions but also find the titles that you have discovered and collected over time. Accessing the JustWatch List makes you notice a number of key changes that will automatically make your entertainment experience better.

The Watchlist, which you already use to save and track your favorite movies and TV shows, is now divided into three new sections:

  • My Lists: Create and personalize your own lists or easily bring in ones you’ve already created on IMDb. Share these lists with your friends and family to browse and discuss together.

  • Public Lists: Explore lists composed by our movie and TV show experts. These lists cover tons of different categories, from major events like the Academy Awards to collections of your favorite actors, directors and franchises.

  • TV Show Tracking: Keep track of the shows you’re currently watching and the ones you want to watch in the future. The improved design works well on web and apps and has new filters to help you stay updated on the latest episodes. Your viewing choices are now more flexible and personalized than ever before.

“We are excited to introduce a feature that has been requested a lot: Customizable lists - easy to create, share and follow. Our users can finally have several lists to separate date night movies from friends’ recommendations, movies they are interested in but will probably never watch, and movies for different moods, plot points, etc. We are really looking forward to seeing how it will be used.” says David Croyé, Founder and CEO of JustWatch

These new features are available for all mobile app users and on the JustWatch website.
