Clean, simple interface

Cool site. I love the simple interface. From a UX perspective, the header should be sticky when you scroll. I was having fun looking at the "moods" and genres that get…
agscala on HNPretty decent and clean interface, I like that -- I think the next step to take from here would be implementing a system that lets users keep track of a list of…

Odd genre and credit results, such as writer credits and The Godfather as horror
From 3 comments
Something seriously wrong with the "writer" credit. E.g. anything based on a book, Full Metal Alchemist.
aidenn0 on HNHow come "The Godfather" is a Horror movie?
usaphp on HNHow does the score works? 12 Angry Men has a 9.4 score and 7th place, but when I filter by "Law" movies the score goes down to 7.5.
