First, this is really cool. Grats for putting it together. Next, I would say that this falls into a category of app that I like to call "Discovery". There is just so much content of every flavor out there that Discovery apps will carve out an entire niche for every niche of people out there. Have you thought about adding a log in that would allow people to simply click +(more) or -(less) for each item presented? Thereby allowing you to hone your recommendations...

Thanks for the complements! I like the idea of helping the user hone in on a set that better matches their preference, while keeping the interface clean and uncluttered. I was going to add a simple genre filter, but I might experiment with an opaque filter based on +'s and -'s.

#13Neat idea. It would be great to be able to only show trailers of movies available on Netflix.
The developer here. You can if you go to this modified URL: http://www.trailermatic.com/?netflix_only=true . I'll eventually make filtering easily available through the UI.
Great. This is a fun app, I'm enjoying it.

#14I'd love to be able to save for later. Also, a link to imdb or a similar movie db would be nice too.
great start but too many 80s movies!

Another nice feature would be to filter on Amazon Prime Unlimited.

#16It works great. In fact, it recommends such good movies that I'm almost guaranteed to have seen them many times already. Ferris, Outlaw Josie Wales, Back to the Future. All are perfect picks for me, but it might be neat to add a few lesser known selections. I find myself keeping a google doc of movie recommendations from reddit threads, then renting when I have the time. Found Primer this way.
I'm looking for more hidden gems to add to the site. Besides Primer, does anyone have any other good recommendations?

Would you happen to have a list of the movies available?
And just a few recs (not really 'hidden', per se): Moon, Pi, Soylent Green, The Producers (2006), and Thank You for Smoking.
