I found this approach unintuitive and it took me a long time to figure out the logic. There's also no way to remove the filters without going to the Filter box above and its not immediately clear how the choices in this box correspond to those in the Filter box. My preference would be something like:
200 of 400 Movies (50%) are on the following lists of yours:
Watched:________100 (25%)
Want to watch:____75 (19%)
Other:___________25 (6%)
Not on your lists:__200 (50%)
(The underscores I added just because extra blank spaces are automatically removed from comments.)
The numbers would be linkifed, and I think it would be clear what clicking on them would do. Having an organized structure like this is just easier to remember visually and doesn't make you pause and think "Am I remembering this right?" Since there's no way to clear the filter here, I keep expecting "View unlisted" to do that and have to remember what "unlisted" means. With the above approach, its clear that Watched and Want To Watch are to be thought of as lists themselves. (If that's not clear enough, they, too, could be linkified.)
The 400 above would be linkified as well as a way to clear any filters you've applied and display all the items. The dedicated Filter box is a more powerful alternative but doesn't have the percentages and for some reason the box disappears after applying a filter. It doesn't take up much space and I'd think once you opened it you'd want to leave it open so that you could try different filters, and also as a reminder that you're looking at a filtered view and not the full list.
"Other" above could perhaps also have a plus by it so that you could see which items were on which of your custom lists.
