Re: Rating aggregator for Netflix movies
#2I like the idea. I find it incredibly tedious to lookup IMDB ratings while surfing Netflix since that's almost all I care about when I'm indecisive ("Just give me a movie roughly in this genre that's roughly decent").
The catalog seems very limited though. I couldn't find the few Netflix shows I searched for from my Netflix homepage: "el internado", "gran hotel", "el barco", "3%".
Feedback: Would be much nicer with permalinks and the history push API so that back/forward worked.
For example, clicking around the movies a bit and then pressing the back button took me back to HN. And would be nice to link someone to "/shows/123", one of the key advantages of websites over apps.

#3Awesome! I find myself watching less and less Netflix because it is just plain impossible to find anything to watch.
I also think that we (developers) are doing something wrong with recommender systems. With entertainment, I normally want to watch something new that broadens my mind. Even if I just want to kill time, they never seem to work for me.

Consider subscribing to Netflix's DVD service.[1]
It has a way, way better selection than Netflix's streaming service. Netflix doesn't seem to want to advertise it, as last time I checked there were no links to it from the main netflix.com site, but it still exists.
It's certainly not as convenient as streaming on demand, but when all you can stream is garbage, it's well worth getting the DVD service where you actually have a great selection of some really great movies.

#5I have Netflix and I hate its discovery mechanism so much that when I went to this site, I mistakenly read the site's name as FUCKNETFLIX and chuckled.
I had no idea Netflix had so many decent selection of movies.

I don't care about ratings -- IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, or random film critic -- it doesn't matter. They're all useless to me (often worse than useless, as so many people have such different tastes from me).
The only people who's opinions I care about are friends and family who I know well and who's tastes I share, or who at least know my tastes and can recommend to me something they think I might like.
Apart from that, what I do to find more films to watch is try to see what other films directors and writers I like have made, or do web searches for combinations of films that I like to see what similar films turn up or to occasionally find people with similar tastes to my own and then pick through their favorite movie lists.

You need to find a reviewer you trust and pay attention to them only.
I find RT works great if you understand that professional reviewers rate movies in the context of their genre. So, a Hollywood action flick may be 80%, but if you don't like that genre, you're still not gonna like it.
