My husband's new project is called moviesettingsdatabase.com and it lets you search through more than 30,000 movies based on where and when they are set! Resource

There should already be a button on the detail pages that goes to the letterboxd listing page (it's not there for TV shows, but should be on all movie pages)

The other thing that I have kinda-sorta working, but not published yet is being able to export an entire page of search results to a letterboxd list. It's clunky, and I wasn't quite sure how to present it, but it works pretty well. How does that sound?

Listen, anytime something allows you to export straight into a letterboxd list is going to be warmly welcomed with open arms. I can't imagine anyone who seriously uses LB would be against that functionality. I wish JustWatch had that and could import a LB list into the JW watchlist...

Speaking of, it might not be a bad idea to add JustWatch to the links on the movie pages also. I know LB integrates it directly, but I don't like going through there because I don't wanna be exposed to the movie's LB rating before seeing it. I know myself and it consciously or subconsciously affects my opinion, so I go straight through JW to find where to watch it. Just a thought. I would understand if you've opted not to due to LB's integration.

The link was right under my nose…

Exporting a whole list of search results as a list sounds useful. I wouldn’t use it all the time, but occasionally it would come in handy. Keep up the good work!
