How do you find movies on DVD Aficionado

I cannot for the life of me find certain titles. I don't know what I am doing wrong but for instance I tried looking up the movie The Rock to add to my wishlist and instead I get the message "my search returned too many, only 200 showing". and not one of those 200 is the movie I'm looking for. I don't see an advanced search or anything. What am I not figuring out here?

If you're getting a result like that, the best solution is to put quotation marks around the words you're looking for... "The Rock", etc.

You can also try to narrow the search by region. If what you're looking for is region 1, click on that so the other regions don't come up in the search.

Actually, they use slashes instead of quotes, so it would be /The Rock/

Also, you can search for other movies from the director and then get to what you want. For example, search for "Bad Boys" and then click the Michael Bay link.

There's also a help forum over there, under one of the pulldown menus. This is one of the stickied questions in there since it comes up so often.

D'oh! It's been a while since I've used DVDAf...I forgot about that. Thanks for clarifying.

Yep, took me a long time to find out this little trick, but it works great.
