Tips for creating useful lists:

- You can start off by using Default Movie Lists. It's the best way to make your voice heard and interact with other movie fans.

- You have +100 prearranged lists. Your own lists do not affect rankings.

- When you add a movie/TV series to a list, it will appear at the end of the list.

- ¿Can I change the position of a movie within a list? Yes, but only from your computer, not with your phone.

- Update your 'Upcoming Releases' Movie List. Once the movie has been released, you can move it to the 'Movies I Want to Watch' List.

- Copying and removing movies from multiple lists at the same time is easy.

- Hundreds of users have created +500.000 lists. It's very easy. Give it a try!
