I really like it, although I would change the "years between" slider-type control you used to something more standard, and I would add some better styling to the tomato-meter slider... and well to the whole filter settings panel... but other than that, it's pretty Awesome. I could and will definitely use it... I am forever having a hard time finding a good movie to watch on Netflix.

Thanks, and thanks for the suggestions! There will be some changes to those sliders in the near future. (JQuery was my first choice for those, but it's now proving to be an aesthetic and responsive issue.) I might redesign it with Twitter bootstrap, which would help with overall UI and design.

Hey I don't watch a lot of movies, but I love tv shows. Any thoughts on incorporating metacritic as a backup when rotten tomatoes isn't available? That would be amazing. Also preferably use the user score, because critic reviews are pretty bad. Take for example Firefly, there's not even a critic score for it, however there is a very accurate 9.6 user score :)

Good point. If I did, it would be a sister site separate from this Rotten Tomatoes based thing. I'm trying to keep it as simple and uncluttered as possible.

Cheers.
