I recently found two films erroneously marked as adult — are there more such mistakes?

The movies were two Hollywood classics, The Juggler (1962) and The Rains Came (1939).

This is a crucial mistake because when it happens a film disappears from Letterboxd and all the curated lists and user data thereon. And the only way I could find it here is by trying to duplicate it. It's also a strange mistake, and to find it twice in two days makes me wonder if there weren't more I don't know about. Perhaps there is a way for a moderator to correct a string of problems at once.

There's absolutely loads of them. I reported this yesterday, but no one has stopped the user from doing it. They've also been doing some strange things with taglines, translated titles, and homepages. https://www.themoviedb.org/account/gilbab/changes

All have been fixed. It took some extra time because I wanted to confirm and lock up some other core data at the same time. It's incredible how many entries were changed and how random it all seemed. Any kind of movie was changed to adult:true so I have no idea what the user was thinking. Thanks again.
