I'd also like to be able to search within genres, instead of always getting results across the whole system. So please add an "Advanced Search" feature, also.

They *do* have a "releasing this week" section- and I've put things in my queue in the past that are not yet released... but I think these are all "planned" releases. Myself- I'd like a "theatrical release" subsection of the new releases. Only movies that had a certain percentage or time of theatre runs. It would make it easier for me to search for those things i mentally bookmarked. I agree.. there seems to be some disconnect between movies I want to see and when they actually come around to DVD.

Myself and KMaage (Opera usability) have posted recently on room for improvement on the iTunes interface.
