Post subject: Suggestion for easier movie searching

I find that the links to "NES movies" and "SNES movies" (particularly the former) result in tons of movies, complete with tons of screenshots, every time one searches in them for one single movie. It really is confusing to a person who is unfamiliar with this site, apart from using bandwidth on stuff that the person does not care about. The number of NES movies right now is 213. I personally almost never click on the "NES movies" anymore, and instead search the game name or type "movies.cgi?name=...". Perhaps it would be good to implement, under each system, a list of game names as links, similar to what SDA is doing. I had no problems browsing there.

This is a great idea; It probably deserves its own thread. I second this idea, but I don't think that the complete list should be done away with, as I think it's still very useful. Perhaps another idea would be to have a combo box on the main page for each system. This way, the user could get where they wanted to go with a single action, instead of being directed to a page of links first.

I won't get tired of repeating the shining usefulness of Tub's Idea™.
