I was thinking that either of these could be handy on a movie's profile page. I don't concern myself with a movie's age rating usually but sometimes whether a film is R or PG13 (for example) will influence whether I watch it or something else instead. Maybe the present mood calls for it, or perhaps the rating doesn't jive with what is expected of the film's tone or subject matter. I'm unsure how much it applies to Criticker but there is of course also the "is it a good idea for my 6 year old niece to watch this" side of things. As for a movie's run time it would be useful in identifying Shorts, and films that are exceptionally long, at a glance.
Not really a request, only sharing a thought. The imdb link has me covered on both these counts, I personally appreciate it just for that. I realise there are different length cuts and rating systems as well, but if there is enough interest there is probably a decent enough solution.
Good suggestion. Both pieces of information would be useful, but I'm especially interested in the runtimes. It would be cool to search for movies that are less than 90 minutes and those that are over 3 hours, depending on one's mood.

Interesting choice of words here since there's actually a collection for both of these options.
Although, having this as a feature would make it more comprehensive so I'd be down with this.
Minor nitpick moment on this topic - I've always had a problem with the legitimacy of run times due to the varying length of credits, which are always included, and I always felt discredited the official run times of movies overall. With the exception of a good gag reel on a comedy or the rare musical choice, I never sit through more than a minute of a credit sequence unless it's a theater viewing.

There's this, and additionally, many movies have multiple cuts/versions, with some varying significantly in length.
