I was just being facetious. Going for an easy joke.
So many people hide behind a winking smile that it loses all meaning. |

I disagree with the site saying 33% satisfied with A Christmas Story, actually I guess I disagree with the people that voted that way.
It's not a perfect site I admit, but the reason I posted the link to it was that I was reading a Netflix thread where someone was saying how they had trouble deciding what to watch. I know that the site could be better but the only time I ever use it is when I don't know what to watch and I am open to suggestions. It's nothing I would use to decide what I would rent every time, but it is nice to use once in a while. Also, it has recommended horror movies for me. The last one it recommended was May. |

Too bad the site hijacked my Internet browser. That's my last visit.
Also, it appears they have a limited selection offering. Notice any trends? ... Trainspotting Y Tu Mama Tambien All About My Mother Nice concept, but no fulfillment. I'm almost weary with their questions as interesting as some were .. it gives them more time to f with the computer. I'm all set with that... |

It told me to watch You've Got Mail... I'll figure out what to watch on my own.

As a low-tech alternative to these websites, this book I own has a "mood guide" to it's recommendations:
The 100 Best Films to Rent You've Never Seen by David N. Meyer There are some similar books linked from that page as well. (edited to add a DVD Talk referral to link) |
I disagree with what some people that are saying that it seems to give everyone the same recommendations.
Here is what it offered me: Election Bullets Over Broadway Little Shop of Horrors Shakespeare in Love Three Kings The Way of the Gun Cinema Paradiso Scarface Rushmore |
Seen most of the recommendations. Hmm, I'm thinking the site has some merit. It hasn't recommended anything I think would really suck (but then again I'm not going to click all night!) :)
|
Cool... I'd seen (and liked) the first 12 reccomendations. The 13th was "Secretary". I think I'll actually have to check that out.
