imdb interview questions
Top imdb frequently asked interview questions
I have a My Movies list on IMDb.com and I would like to see how much runtime all the movies and/or TV series in this list sum in total.
For example: Movie A has a 90 minute runtime, Movie B has a 120 minute runtime, Series C has 2 episodes of 30 minutes each. The sum would be 270 minutes or 4 hours, 30 minutes. This is what I am searching for—the total.
Is there a way to get this information from the website, that I am unaware of?

I have an imbd.com account that I login to using an id and a password, I noticed recently that they support logging in using Facebook, Amazon and Google.
I very much prefer using my Google account to login to other sites, is it possible to change the way I login to my IMDb account without having to create a new one.

Recently I signed up for IMDb. For this I used my Google Apps Account (Gmail) as an OpenID.
I have since come to the conclusion that having all these accounts connected is not a good idea, so I want to disconnect my IMDb account from my OpenID (Gmail) account. I have already changed the password on IMDb and I am able to login with the e-mail address (of the OpenID account) and the new password. Unfortunately I can still use OpenID to log in, too.
So, how can I disconnect my OpenID account from my IMDB account?

I like going to IMDB and reading the comments on stories. But when I use Firefox, the comments are not showing up. They are cut off. I can see one user, but not the user's comment. This is a new development after I had someone remote access my computer and fix a problem that I had. I think they changed the settings and it messed up how I access IMDB. On Google Chrome I can see the comments fine, but I hardly ever use that.

(This might seem like it's on the cusp of being relevant, but I think it's appropriate, especially given that voting on things applies to lots of webapps, not least the SO family)
I just discovered the following, from IMDB:
Weighted Average Ratings
IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages. Various filters are applied to the raw data in order to eliminate and reduce attempts at 'vote stuffing' by individuals more interested in changing the current rating of a movie than giving their true opinion of it.
The exact methods we use will not be disclosed. This should ensure that the policy remains effective. The result is a more accurate vote average.
Does anyone have any idea what that means, in more detail? Or any references to relevant material?

I want to add my movie/TV collection to IMDB lists. The default way to add titles to a list is very cumbersome, so I was wondering if there is a way to import titles from a csv file or something like that so that the process becomes easier.

This seems to be a trivia question, but I can't find a button to add a movie into my watch list, in that movie page. The only button I can find is in the recommendation box:
I know that I can add a movie through my watch list page, but that's not what I'm looking for:

So I know that John Wayne and James Stewart were both in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Shootist. How do I use IMDb to find other movies that they were both in?
Conversely, was anyone else besides those two actors in both of those movies? Can I search for actors that two movies have in common?
It's not at all obvious whether or not either is possible, despite the "database" portion of the site's name.

Is there some webapp where I can see IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic movie ratings together?

How do I view the IMDb top lists sorted by demographics in order to get more personalized ratings?
For example, I would find it more useful if I could view the Top 250 films list, while counting votes only for males, and even more if I could look at the top votes for males in a specific age bracket.

To look for great movies to watch I've used the following search with good results:
Find great movies from 2015
However lately, a lot of Eastern movies have starting appearing in the search results. Right now, the first Western film in the list is "Inside Out" which comes only after a dozen Eastern movies.
The highest ranked movie is The Godfather (9.0). It seems a bit strange that many Eastern movies have 9.5+, as if all voters have given a 10. These movies do not appear in the "Top 250" either.
Anyway, how can I use IMDB to find great movies from the current year, that mimics the "Top 250" to a greater extent, or in other ways get a more representative search?

The link to search IMDB is http://www.imdb.com/search/title
There is a box to select the language. I have to select English to eliminate all the foreign movies with fake votes. I tried to select English/German/French/Spanish to only show movies with any of those languages, but instead it only searches for movies with all of those languages, which is none. I tried to watch some of the top Indian/Turkish/Pakistani movies, and some of them are good, but most of them obviously have fake ratings.
