Using ATS for Ratings Distribution by Year/Genre
Updated 7-July-2025
Introduction
You can use IMDb's Advanced Title Search to restrict search results to titles you've rated by Year or by Genre. You can also sort your results in numerous different orders, such as: Popularity, A-Z, Year, User rating, Your rating, etc.
To access this functionality within Advanced Title Search, you can use the following example links:
- Title results restricted by your rating.
- Title results restricted by your rating and a chosen year, e.g. 2024.
- Title results restricted by your rating and a chosen genre, e.g. Action.
You can also modify these links further by amending the text within the URLs. For example, if you wanted to change your chosen genre, you would edit the keyword in the URL to a different genre, i.e. https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?genres=drama&my_ratings=restrict.
An example of the above modification and its results can be seen in the screenshot below.
Shortcuts
Below are shortcut links for each Year (by decade) and each Genre. Clicking a Decade button will expand it so you can then select a specific year.
