How to export your IMDb watchlist

IMDb exports your watchlist to CSV from the site itself. Here is where the export button is and what to do with the file.

Direct export · no extension

IMDb exports your watchlist straight to CSV from the site. There is nothing to install.

  1. Open your IMDb Watchlist .
  2. Click the ⋮ menu at the top right of the list and choose Export.
  3. IMDb emails you when the file is ready. Download the CSV.
  4. Drop it into Settings → Import Data. It is recognised automatically.

The export includes IMDb IDs, so ratings and posters fill in without any title guessing.

Then make the list useful

Once it is imported, sort by IMDb, TMDB or Rotten Tomatoes rating, filter by mood, note why you saved each title, and share the list with whoever you watch with. Free, with no paywall.
