Currently, a user can have the following lists: Titles, People, Characters, Images and Videos [http://www.imdb.com/user/ur0127678/lists]. However on the "Create a List" page, it only lists the following:

Create a List
Share movie, TV & celebrity picks with everyone at IMDb, or make it private for just you.

What kind of list are you making:
* Titles (movies, TV shows, TV episodes)
* People
* Characters
* Images
It would be useful to add "Videos" to the list a user can create.

You can add direct to video films to title lists, along with TV specials, documentaries, short films, TV miniseries, etc. So perhaps they decided not to put in every combination and permutation into the text.

Perhaps just tweak the text to say:

* Titles (movies, TV shows, etc.)


Which does pretty much cover everything right there.

I am aware one can have television episodes and videos in Title lists, since I have a few lists these type of Titles.

IMDb has a list type for Videos distinct from Titles. At least IMDb provides a filter for Video lists.


When I deselect everything but Videos, I get zero lists.

Hmmm, that is odd.

So you don't mean adding direct-to-video "(Video)" to lists, you mean create an actual list of videos? A bit like the playlist for videos available on IMDB?

Ah sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick before (video having a specific meaning on IMDB), but yeah I could get behind that.

If they have an option for it already, perhaps it is on its way?
