Ask HN: What's the best movie recommendation system?
I was getting tired of searching imdb top lists and checking review sites for movie titles.I wanted something with a good intuitive recommendation system .
The first site I came upon was http://www.icheckmovies.com/ I checked about 300 movies + likes and dislikes and got 2 recommendations I was dissatisfied with.Deleted the account.
Right now I'm rating movies on movielens. What are you using ? Any recommendations ? Thank You.

I find IMDB's "People who liked this also liked..." recommendation feature to work fairly well. You can hop from movie to movie until you find one that looks interesting.

It's not a personalization system, but it probably works better than most of those in my experience.
I've rated movies at Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and YouTube. It's a shame I cannot transfer that info into other sites.
Yes, movie rating/behavior personal data portability should be common. Just need a data structure and a protocol...
Haven't seen anything better than Movielens (rated 1020 movies).

Looks like I can't get into my account... Probably last used it 5 years ago...
