Coollector Movie Database

Coollector Movie Database helps you keep track of the movies you've seen, the ones you want to see, and the ones you own. With a huge collection of movies and information, any movie buff could spend hours perusing this program and finding all kinds of interesting things to watch.

Pros

Rate for suggestions: When you first open the app, a "game" will pop up asking you to rate three random movies. As you rate each, a new one will appear, and if you get to the point that you haven't seen any of the movies displayed, you can get a new set. With the information you provide in this way, the app begins to learn your preferences and can begin predicting how much you'll enjoy various other movies. You can also rate movies at any time in the app.

Versatile search: There are several different search features in this program, so no matter what you're looking for or what you remember about the movie, you have a good chance of finding exactly what you're looking for. For instance, you can search by movie title or by people, and there are also additional filters you can apply to narrow the search results further.

Cons

Confusing navigation: This program has a split-screen display, with information about movies on the left-hand side, and information about people from those movies on the right. But finding the search boxes and various other features can be a little confusing at first. After a while, though, you'll get the hang of it.

Bottom Line

Coollector Movie Database is an efficient way to track your interests and learn more about your favorite stars. Anyone with a passion for movies, or especially with an extensive movie collection, will definitely benefit from this app. It's free to try, although there is a persistent nag screen, and it costs $14.99 to buy.
