I stumbled upon this site a while back. It's totally fucking awesome. You grade movies that you have seen, then it recommendes what you will like. I'm up to 451 movies now.

I wonder how the algorithms used here is different from the rating/recommendations system in Netflix.

This is unbelievably addictive. I rated about 9 pages of the random search (don't know how many that is) in about 20 minutes.

And now I'm back there doing more!

EDIT: Between classes and about 3 hours later, I had 628 movies rated. It makes me realize how many movies I've actually seen. Disturbingly addictive, but it's predicted ratings under recommendations...dead on for the ones I've seen and yet to find through random rating.

Two friends already addicted to it, many more to go...
