Previously, there was a section on the left of the Web page where you can see top lists, and from there you could navigate or search all the public lists on IMDB. But now I can't find this section and can't find the public lists anymore.

Hi Kareem,
Could you provide a bit more information on what you are referring to so we can point you in the right direction?
- You listed this as both an IMDb.com and Android app question - which of these did you notice this section appearing on the left of the page?
- Did you notice this as soon as you arrived on the site/app homepage, or was it after visiting a specific section of the site/app?
- Please give us a general time frame of when you last noticed/used this list feature. A screenshot of where you noticed it missing would be helpful context.
Thanks in advance!
- Steve

On the desktop, using the standard view of the title page (Not the Reference view), I see what you describe as unable to see, but it's on the Right side of the page:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0014972/
Reference view has been stripped down to be efficient for Contributors. To change to standard view, just use the "Change View" link at the top of a Reference view page, a bit under the Watchlist link:

Dear bderoes, thanks. I see now what you described. But this is only when I open a title, then I can see related lists. Is there anyway to see lists in general? Like top rated lists or most recent lists. Or a way to search for lists by name or the lists that contains a specific movie or actor? Or a way to search for a list by its type? Like "title", "actor/actress", director.....

Well, if you're looking for lists with a specific movie, go to that title page. For a specific person, go to the person's page.
But one of the best tools for searching for lists is actually Google, with the added the parameter "site:imdb.com/list"
For instance, this week I wanted to see the titles in a certain box set of cartoons. So in the Google search box I pasted the name of the box set, added that parameter, and sure enough, someone had created exactly the list I hoped for.
If you search this site (Get Satisfaction) for "search user lists", you'll see several Ideas pitched over the years that you can vote for. I find the Google search satisfies my needs.
A list of most popular lists could be interesting. We have no way to rate lists, so Top-rated isn't possible. I suppose Most-Visited would be. Or Most-Liked.
And with as many users as we have on IMDb, a display of Most Recent lists might change every second.
If you have specific Ideas you'd like to see implemented, you can post a thread here on GS, labeled as Idea (instead of Problem). But make sure to put the key words into the title of your post. I think that is all that the GS search engine looks at.
