There’s a new movie recommendation tool called FilmSuggest, which uses user-recommendations, IMDb, and Amazon to generate customized movie recommendations. The tool is a hybrid of of some of the other engines out there. I thought this was apropos

This offers some great insight into the issues with recommendation systems whose design is driven by marketing as opposed to a user experience evangelist. I recently asked the question, Are Recommendations Engines Circumventing User-Focused Design? because we are going to see more and more recommenders whether we want to as users or not. If they are user-focused, they are infinitely more valuable and less intrusive. I am relieved to see other people pondering this issue.

I always read recommendations for movies, and if a movie has more good recommendations – I’m watching it, and it ends with a relly good movie…so I think that all this systems helps people in making a good choice for them

All movie rating websites with specific rating are normally very useful for the users.
Thats the reason why I’m not using for e.g. imdb, because there it’s only possible to rate a movie with numbers from 1 to 10.
But for me and many other users too it’s important to know why another user rated a movie with a specific number. So details are important.

[...] The point I’m making is thatÂ there’sÂ a real needÂ to personalize the way information is presented on the web, especially local information. We’ve seen a movement towards “personalization” with netflix and amazon, and I believe this same technology can be applied successfully in other markets, such as travel and “local”, to make it easier for people to find the right information. For a crisp look look at how recommendation and personalization systems work, read this post from our friend Joshua Porter’s blog on “Which movie to watch“. [...]

I took a look at your tool. It is a great tool. But, another way to really delve into non computer generated recommendations is through social movie networks. Based on user generated FilmCrave has created a site that is both socialiable and centered around movies. They have also incorporated some really nice easy to use features - like instant search and drag and drop to really make it an easy experience to get it started. It is highly addictive to say the least. Now this does not directly solve your recommended movie problem, the site does encourage friends and is soon to come up with a "friend movie activity feed." This is similar to facebooks feed, but hopefully more useful and less obnoxious.
