My Movie List

Keep track of the movies you've seen

What is it?

My Movie List is a way to easily manage the movies you've seen. You can add and edit movies, and see the trends in what you've seen. My Movie List is released under the MIT License.

Also, you can easily follow your progress in watching all the IMDb top 250 movies.

For a demo, have a look at movies.arjaneising.nl.

Download

You can download and use this software on your own server. After you've downloaded My Movie List, you need to edit the file /_includes/settings.inc.php. Then you can run /install.php in your browser. After deleting /install.php you're done :)

You can also see the current version on Github.

Requirements

You need a web server with at least PHP5 and MySQL5.

Known bugs

Please send in bug reports via Email or @reply on Twitter.

• Sometimes the English title is not listed in the drop down menu. This is a bug in the IMDbPHP class, it will be fixed some time soon. For now, you have to manually add the title via a program like PHPmyAdmin.
• Sometimes a PHP warning is shown when trying to add a movie. Proceed by adding the movie anyway, it's just a warning.
• Sometimes special characters are not converted to the proper Unicode characters.
