IMDb Account Management: Finding Your Old Ratings and More

Ever wonder where those movie ratings you gave years ago disappeared to? You’re not alone. Most IMDb users have a handful of forgotten scores hidden somewhere in their profile. The good news? Pulling them up is a breeze, and you can tidy up your whole account while you’re at it.

Step‑by‑Step: Locate Your Past Ratings

First thing’s first – log into your IMDb account. Once you’re in, click on your avatar at the top right corner; a tiny menu will drop down. Pick ‘Your Profile’ from the list. On your profile page you’ll see a row of tabs – ‘Ratings’ is the one we need.

Click Ratings and you’ll land on a page that shows the movies and shows you’ve rated lately. To see everything, hit the ‘View All’ button that usually sits near the top. Now you have the full list, sorted by the date you gave each rating.

If you’re hunting for a specific title, use the search bar above the list. Type the movie or show name, and IMDb will filter the results instantly. Found the rating you wanted? Great – you can click the little pencil icon next to it to change the score, or the trash can icon if you’d rather remove it.

Tips to Keep Your IMDb Profile Tidy

While you’re scrolling through your ratings, take a moment to clean up any duplicates or mistaken scores. It’s easy to give a film a 10 by accident; a quick edit will keep your profile accurate.

Another handy trick is to add short reviews. When you click the pencil icon, a text box appears where you can jot down why you liked or disliked a title. Future you (or anyone browsing your profile) will thank you for the context.

If you’ve got a long list of ratings, consider using the ‘Export Ratings’ feature. It’s hidden under the ‘Settings’ menu and lets you download a CSV file of all your scores. You can open it in Excel, sort by genre, or even share it with friends.

Finally, remember to check your watchlist now and then. The watchlist is separate from ratings, but keeping both tidy makes your IMDb experience smoother. Delete movies you’ve already seen and rate them right away – that way your watchlist stays fresh.

That’s the whole process in plain English. Log in, hit your profile, open Ratings, view all, search, edit or delete – done. A clean IMDb profile not only looks good, it also helps the recommendation engine suggest movies you’ll actually enjoy.
