Problems?

If you're having problems with the script the debug function might give some answers. See the CONFIG variable.

Note: movies which are in you're 'Pending' list or in the 'Recycle Bin' are ignored and not displayed. You should move them to one of the other categories in your movie list.

This script relies on the MyMovies section of Imdb to get the information of the movies you have 'added' and voted for.
If you have changed the display options within the mymovies section this could stop the script from functioning properly.
