| | Posted: | | | | I thought about using the wishlist, and that might be an option. But I'd rather have another tab, similar to the wishlist tab. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | Such a list would be a very, very nifty function.  It could be placed right after the "Wishlist" and maybe be sort of an excel-document. The should be space for 1) director 2) production year for the movie 3) movie title 4) Grades. It simply be called "Watched" Come on Ken, give us such a function  Robert - Denmark |

| | Posted: | | | | I think this could be a great addition - It would be useful for ratings of new movies you have seen in the cinema so that when the DVD comes out you know if you want to buy it or not! | | | <---------Mithrandir, Laverne and Shirley

| | Posted: | | | | This could be interesting to have an extra tab, but why change the layout to an Excel sheet. It would be less work for Ken to write code to have a tab with the same functionality as the other 3 tabs. Just add the dvd's you watched by UPC or title like you do with any other dvd. Then you have the complete profile in your local db making it a bit larger, but who cares about the db size anyway.

I would prefer if all my information could be collected in one database. It would be more simple to switch through ones collection of movies (seen, owned, ordered, watched etc.) if they where collected in one database.
A tab called "Movies watched" could be added after the tab "Wishlist"! In my opinion the tab "Watched Movies" does not need to be as "nifty" as the the other tabs "All", "Owned" etc. Maybee only simple information as movie title, director, year of release, grades and maybee the posibility to link the movies in the list to IMDb, so when you click on a title it directs you to the movie in IMDb. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yup, I know I could do some sort of workaround either by using a new db or using the wishlist, but I think it'd be great to have it's own area. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | I agree that it's a great idea and one I'd like to have. But me personally? I'd get more use out of the same thing, only for DVDs that I own that I haven't had a chance to watch yet.  That way, they could go from Wishlist to Ordered to New to Owned. I hate to think of all the DVDs I've forgotten to watch.  |

| | Posted: | | | | I simply created another database for movies that I have watched. Under the "Owned" section, I add movies that I have watched, and for the wishlist, I put movies that I would like to watch sometime. This way, you can not only keep track of the movies that you have rented or gone to the theatre to watch, you can also keep a listing of the movies that are out that you know you want to see so you don't forget them.  |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm using the "Ordered" list to track movies I don't own but have seen already. Actually tracking of "Ordered" DVDs is unnecessary in my opinion. If I have ordered something from my wishlist it remains there until the package arrives  |
