I tried to make a smart playlist for "watched in the last week" or some such but since I found out on IRC that play-date is not something that's stored it's impossible. So here's another vote for that!
I also made a playlist for "movies where the writer = ian fleming" to get all my Bond flicks together. I made another where "actor = harrison ford" to get all his stuff together. But now to get to those playlists I have to go into Videos->Plugins->Playlists->Bond Films or something like that. Ideally any user-created playlists related to Movies would be added to the Movies contextual menu, TV Shows to the TV Shows menu (uh, just realized this is maybe a MediaStream request here, sorry).
Agreed that browsing by Year/Actor/Studio is rarely used, but I don't think they should be gotten rid of. Someday I may want to do a "show me everything by Studio Ghibli" or something.
