I'm gonna be quick!(I hope!)
I have a great great idea!
This is what me and most of my friends need!
You know most of the people that come to these kinds of websites(IMDb.com) LOVE movies!(Like me)
And these people have got lots of movies(Again like me)
What these guys need is a place that they can store their movie collection.(It's not all)
In IMDb there is a part called Watchlist but that is Not what I mean!
What I'm trying to say is making a part called "My Movies" or "My Collection" or sth like this and another part named "My Watched Movies" or sth like this.(I'm not finished)
If U're asking what is the difference, Here it is:
There are movies that I have seen in the cinema but you don't have that movie on DVD.
In the other hand (unfortunately) there are movies that I have on the DVD but I haven't watched theme yet.
One option that these parts should have is that user should be able to choose that his movie is on DVD or BlueRay or ...
And the collection should be sharable on social networks like Facebook.

You'll want lists my friend.

I have these lists:

MyMovies: Watched
MyMovies: DVD
MyMovies: Pending
MyMovies: Must see

This is partly a relic of the original list system (which was clunky and inefficient) but you can start as many lists as you like to make this fine-grained (I have a list of zombie films I own). I have all of those set to private but there is no reason you can't make it public, although I'd prefer an intermediate list privacy setting to allow people to share these lists without cluttering up a film's related lists page:

Thanks for reading my idea.
And thanks for your guidance
I made myself a list called “My Collection”
But what about the option that I said before:
One option that these parts should have is that user should be able to choose that the movie is on DVD or BlueRay or ...

Ahhh you don't mean just have a list for DVDs and one for Blu-Ray (and one for VHS if you are so minded), yes this would be a good idea - you could have an "Own" list with special features like being able to select media - possibly even add an ASIN in (as it isn't just the medium, it could be a boxset or an R3 import). I use the comments section to add a link to the version I have but something slicker would be nice.

At the moment IMDB doesn't actually list home media releases:
