Is it possible to create a list within a list?

Will this feature ever be added?

Side Question - Does someone also know why IMDB never tells the user if it have added a movie or a TV-series into some of its lists? We get told if we have movies in the "watchlist" but never if we have added something in our own lists. It would be easier, instead of clicking and browsing a list to remember or see if it is already added.

Regarding your Side Question:

You can see to what list(s) you've added a title by using the same mechanism that lets you add a title to lists from the title page: the Add to Watchlist dropdown button (on the desktop version of the site), which reveals:

Notice that 2 lists are checked for this title, and there's a scrollbar when you have enough lists to justify it.

Regarding your Idea: Lists within lists.

How does this differ from being able to Refine your list, or use Advanced Title Search on it?

@bderoes​ That is not the same thing. I know I can see the lists if I scroll down, but it lags sometimes. And it would just be better if it told me at the side that this movie is already in your list "name". Without me being able to click there and then scroll down.

So you mean it doesn't matter if I can have my own folder-like lists? What you mena refine? I can't create a list within a list anyway, so what do you mean? Advanced title Search takes much longer time, I want them in number, 1-8 in Harry potter for example, chronological order in other words.

Hey there... my idea is simple and will make lists a bit easy to access.
I started lists with movies that i watch and added  them there, later on I decided to make lists for film series but now all lists are alltogether and looks pretty awful.

The idea is: Allow us to create a folder, and in that folder we can create lists or move lists with the film series (in my case). So when I want to see all film series or someone accidentally bumps into my lists and is like "hey, lets see what film series this dude have here" he can enter on the folder named for example "Film Series" and there will be all lists for those movies.

This way the lists zone in my case will look more nicely and easy to use, will be like, Artistic Movies, Animation Movies, TV Series, Parody Movies & the folder with Film Series. After all is all about esthetics and easy accessibility

Hope I choose the correct topic, there wasnt anything else.

Would like to see ability to create sub lists withing our lists.  And view them as folders and sub folders rather than lists.

Not sure if this is an idea or question

The ability to create an IMDb list of IMDb lists? If the intended outcome isn't based upon any level of recursion, then this might be a fine idea. I'm not too sure that lists of lists of lists of a leaf type (title, name or image), or beyond, would really go off without a hitch.

@jeorj_euler​ 

I'm not seeing a request for lists OF lists.

I'm seeing a request for dividing a list into sections, apparently not covered by the Refine feature.

Alternately, it might be like having an "OR" operator when doing an Advanced Title Search, selecting multiple lists to see the union of them, instead of the intersection ("AND") that we get now.
