OP here! I was watching the Stanford NLP classes a while back (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiNErZ5Bus8qNxNsFZFkh...) and ended up trying the part about sentiment analysis on srt files. The way it works right is quite primitive but you can still see some "trends" on most movies. If there are any suggestions on how I could make this smarter I would love to hear them!

You should let people see what other people submitted although it's pretty easy by fiddling with the URL. I like seeing the word patterns but I really wonder how well it can detect true sentiment, not an easy thing to do. https://www.crealdo.com/story/movie-sentiment/movies/13

Maybe if you get information about cut frequency you could identify parts that are more actionish / exciting than others.

What about a movie lile "Brazil"? would that be considered happy or sad?

I don't know this movie but you can try it out by uploading the movies srt file.

Brazil is a dystopian satire. I would wager that GP is asking about scenarios where there is significant ambiguity and/or situational/verbal irony.
