Unless I'm overlooking something, there's right now no way to view a single list showcasing all DVDs in my collection where one particular individual is credited.

Let's take Clint Eastwood as an example.

I can either filter all movies where Eastwood is credited with acting work, or all movies in which he's done crew work.

I'd like to be able to create a list containing any DVD I have in which he's credited with doing anything.

Preferably a checkbox when I double-click on his name in an individual profile, but I'd take a modification to the filters as well.

You wont be able to do it under the current system as Cast & Crew are separate lists.

Well, you could do it with Tags, but that could take a long time to set up.

If it could be done then I think it's a good idea but we have enough problems linking within one section, let alone two!

I've never understood why we have two name databases, it would be great if when you brought up the Information window for a person, you saw all their work, not just acting or crew but both together (maybe have tabs within the window to keep it tidy).

I asked for this a long time ago, as of yet without any change to the program.

Me neither, but it would indeed be great. Back when we were told that we should use birth years whenever we were faced with a cast and a crew member sharing the same name, I took that as a sign that at some point, cast and crew would cross-link. But it hasn't materialized yet.

Exactly. Which is why I made this request. I'm sure it could be coded into the backend, even with two separate lists.

I do agree with others though, that having one list would be ideal. Although I would then like to be able to filter based on type of work. So if I wanted to get a list of all my movies in which Clint Eastwood acts, I can do that without also generating a list of the movies he's only directing.
