Why you don't use the MPAA rating filter instead?

Why you don't use the tags instead? Below the movie title, there's "no tag" written in green. You click on it and you can add as many tags as you want. You can use simultaneously 2 tag filters (tag and tag 2).

10? Seriously!...

Sorry, I don't understand this request.

I think the tags are already a superior alternative. They're the most natural way to create all the categories that you want.
