Earlier quoted context omitted.

Netflix will be shutting down their API in 10 days. So unfortunately pulling their data won't be possible. We'll look into other services asap.

How about crowdsourcing?

Difficult but possible. There are some easier possible ways of getting the data. We'll be looking into those first.

Looks good, but the one feature that I find lacking (in this and other similar apps, like http://omive.com ) is the ability to "hide" movies I've already seen. Because otherwise I have to go through pages and pages to find a movie I haven't seen, let alone consider watching.

Multiple people said this, it's a shame how we didn't think of this before! We'll be adding this feature during the next couple of days! Thanks for pointing it out!

Awesome! Will check it out back in a week then :)

Wow, after playing with it for 60 seconds my wife and I found a Humphrey Bogart movie we had never heard of that we are now going to watch. You should work on adding Amazon video links to it with a referral code, could be a good way to capitalize on this!

Seconded! Love, love, love the way you've setup filters. The wife and I are big movie and tv bingers (hate that word but that's the label I guess).

This is terrific and we've already found 5 movies that look exciting.

Amazon and Hulu links will be awesome! Netflix doesn't realize what the creativity they'll be stifling by shutting off their API.

Great job!!!
