I think a lot of us would appreciate a feature to be able to filter our lists (including watchlist and ratings) by members of the cast and crew. If, for example I could be able to choose only the Al Pachino movies on my list, that would be great. Thanks for considering it guys, keep up the good work!

Hi Viktor,

This is something that you can already do with an Advanced Title Search.

For example, I have this title list:
Most Anticipated Film: Fall 2017 Edition Full List
http://www.imdb.com/list/ls020905397/

... and wish to find all the films on this title list with Chris Hemsworth.

1. From the drop down menu select, Advanced Search.
2. On the Advanced Search, click on Advanced Title Search.
3. On the Advanced Title Search:
3a: Enter Chris Hemsworth under Cast/Crew and select Chris Hemsworth (Actor, Thor (2011)) from the search results.
3b. Under Lists Include: select:
Most Anticipated Film: Fall 2017 Edition Full List
3c. Click the yellow Search button at the bottom of the page.
4. This search produces this result:
Most Popular Titles In Your "Most Anticipated Film: Fall 2017 Edition Full List" List With Chris Hemsworth
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?lists=ls020905397&role=nm1165110

= = =

You may notice that ls020905397 is the list ID for my list and nm1165110 is the person ID Chris Hemsworth.

If you know the list ID for any of your lists and the person ID for the person you wish to find, you can change this information in the link.

For instance, you may wish to determine whether Al Pacino is associated with any of the films in this list:
TimeOut's 35 Best Movies of All Time.
http://www.imdb.com/list/ls066061461/

List ID: ls066061461
Person ID for Al Pacino: nm0000199

If you edit the link to change the list ID and person IDs, you get:
Most Popular Titles In Your "TimeOut's 35 Best Movies of All Time." List With Al Pacino
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?lists=ls066061461&role=nm0000199

= = =

If you wish to find multiple people in a list, you can add the person ID for each person separated by commas. For instance:

List ID: ls066061461
Person ID for Al Pacino: nm0000199
Person ID for Marlon Brando: nm0000008

Most Popular Titles In Your "TimeOut's 35 Best Movies of All Time." List With Al Pacino And Marlon Brando
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?lists=ls066061461&role=nm0000199,nm0000008
