Have you got any technology/design stack used to build this .. looks very clean and intuitive from UI/backend prospective ..
backend: Postgre, Unicorn, Ruby on Rails frontend: SCSS/CoffeeScript/jQuery (no frontend frameworks were used)
Only suggestion: Number of ratings/reviews should hold more weight in the sorting algorithm.
e.g. Hollywood Buddha (2003) shouldn't be the RT Audience Rating second highest ranked film all time.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Had seen an app demo from a Melbourne based company who does most of this and had an Amazon link. Haven't dived deep in as it was a UX testing session. Should I mention the name/link, not sure of the ethics of it when someone does a Show HN.
I assume you are talking about http://goodfil.ms/ ?
Finally I can see and sort by RT rating which I trust way more than imdb.
You could also somehow link it to "popcorn time" then it will complete the loop.
Also a separate section for "available on netflix" will make this indispensable.
You could even add a weekly newsletter that shows... 1. new movies on netflix. 2. must watch classics etc base on my taste 4. new episodes of [walking dead] available
and shoot it out on a friday :-)
The second thing is that, on browsing movies "from Japan," I immediately get Band of Brothers, Kill Bill, Lost in Translation, The Last Samurai, and the latest American reboot of Godzilla. If it's intended to show movies set in a particular country, that's potentially a really cool gimmick, but as it is it seems inaccurate.
Love the site, though! Great work!
Also I would suggest to add a random button. It's simple and a lot of fun.
