On the item page, under where it says 'Favorites" and it lists everyone that has added tis to their favorites list, there is a lot of empty space because of all the content on the right side. What if we added links to any custom public list that the item is attached to? If I make a list called "Best Westerns" and add Good Bad & Ugly to the list, it would be nice to have it displayed on that item's page that it is also part of Prelude76's 'Best Westerns' list, with a link to my list, where people can explore other 'Best Westerns' on my list. This could achieve three things: encourage people to make creative lists, promote traffic to your creative custom list, and help others explore related films.
For example, if I made a 'Matrix series' list, and attach all matrix films to it, each of them would have a link to the Matrix Series list, allowing people to easily discover all sequels and prequels.
Still with me? Good. Now here is the big part of the next suggestion for lists: make the list cross-platform, so we can make lists that have movies, tv, book, dvd, or game items. The nice benefit of this would be that someone may make a list called "Lord of Rings" and attach all LOTR movies, all special edition DVDs, all LOTR books, and even LOTR games, and everyone of those items would get a link to that 'Lord of Rings' list, which would then help people branch out and discover related games, books, and all DVD versions of their favorite films.
And to perhaps keep it more controlled, so that all existing public lists don't clutter up item pages, maybe make an option to 'publish' a public list, which would have Tom (or moderators) verify a list as being useful before it gets made visible in all listed items pages, to make sure some lists such as 'Watched with Luke' or 'Need to Buy' don't start popping up on all item pages. :)

I'd also like to see the overall rating of Custom Lists
and the ability to re-arrange the Custom Lists...

Lists will definitely be included on the new item pages, I will probably order them by votes. I may even add them on the current item page first ordered by creation date (since there is no voting at the moment).
