More Ways to Refine Watchlist
The Watchlist is such a great feature that I only just started using! One thing I don't like about it, though, is the limitations to refinement. For example, if I wanted to see all non-horror movies, that's not possible right now. It's also not possible to refine the list to, say, horror OR comedy. Right now if you select more than one genre, it strings them together as ANDs. Running with the previous example, it would only find movies that are horror comedies.
It would be great to expand the refinement feature to allow NOTs and ORs, in addition to the current ANDs.

By using the Advanced Title Search, you can insert a NOT operator (!) in the URL. (But it doesn't help with your desire to perform OR operations, nor do I know of any way to achieve OR in ATS when it's not already programmed as OR.)
Example: to find comedies that are not horror, select both genres, then insert ! before the horror parameter:
https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?genres=comedy,!horror&lists=watchlist

Thanks! I tried to do this in my watchlist and it didn't like it. It simply just returned one or the other, not both.
