excluding certain genres/countries

Post by KasperL »

You're probably already on this, but it would be very useful to be able to exclude specific genres or countries from a Film Database search.

Thanks!

Yeah, negative filtering is something we plan on adding in the future. It definitely would be useful.

Any chance of enabling this in the foreseeable future ? Highly regarded films I have yet to rank consist mostly of documentaries and it would be really useful to exclude them.

I also strongly support the addition of negative filters.

Sometimes I want to find a movie from a certain country, but filtering on that country brings up a bunch of stuff from the USA as well. Finding foreign films (true foreign films) would be much easier if I could exclude USA from the search.

+1

I like to watch foreign films regularly, and that pretty much means a filter for everything which doesn't have USA in the list of countries.

I'm trying to find comedies and my search almost entirely consists of short animations or the dreaded dual genre film the Comedy, Drama.

Please implement this asap, so I can eliminate that sodding Drama tag from my comedy searches.

Otherwise it's a great site.

I was about to suggest this as well.
It's really annoying when I'm in the mood for a family film or a comedy and more than half of the films that come up are all animation.
I like animation as much as the next guy, but sometimes I'm not in the mood for it, yknow?

I'm surprised to see that this was suggested all the way back in 2009.

It's tricky. There are many foreign films which actually have "USA" among its list of countries. For instance, any anime film that had an English dub at some point, like this one.
