Wow, after playing with it for 60 seconds my wife and I found a Humphrey Bogart movie we had never heard of that we are now going to watch. You should work on adding Amazon video links to it with a referral code, could be a good way to capitalize on this!

Amazon and Hulu integration is on our todo list. It's unfortunate that we can't pull Netflix data since they're shutting down their api in 10 days.

Netflix's selection is too limited for my taste. Your app looks beautiful btw!

Ah, well, at least Amazon and Hulu have some sense :) Looking forward, I will be using this site frequently I'm sure.

Seconded! Love, love, love the way you've setup filters. The wife and I are big movie and tv bingers (hate that word but that's the label I guess).
This is terrific and we've already found 5 movies that look exciting.
Amazon and Hulu links will be awesome! Netflix doesn't realize what the creativity they'll be stifling by shutting off their API.
Great job!!!

Had seen an app demo from a Melbourne based company who does most of this and had an Amazon link. Haven't dived deep in as it was a UX testing session.
Should I mention the name/link, not sure of the ethics of it when someone does a Show HN.

Wouldn't really benefit here as all you're showcasing is an Amazon affiliate link. If there's features they had over this one, or you were the person running that demo I think it'd be OK - but just for the purpose of showing an affiliate ID.. I don't think it's necessary. HN crowd knows what that looks like.

Don't know if it's a amazon affiliate link internally.
Lets you browse movies and you can queue it or add them to watchlist.
For each movie it shows if they are available on Amazon, Itunes, Netflix & one more
