IMDB allows duplicates to be created in the user list during editing.

Hi Roman Sv,

I do not consider this a bug. There are legitimate reasons for duplicates in IMDb lists.

From a formal data structure viewpoint, lists allow for duplicates; sets do not.

Why would someone need to have same entries in their movie lists?

This is not a server bug. But IMDB should warn that the entry is already in the list.
