[Update] 6 months ago, we asked for your help at the infancy of this project and got some great feedback. Per your suggestion, we refined the algorithm and made the following data viz improvements:

— Streaming on Netflix in your country

— What to watch with another friend

— Visualize movie recommendations by year/genre

— Cool graphs for your personal movie stats

— Dynamic charts for movie attributes (plot, theme, pace, rewatchability, etc)

Four months ago, we asked for your help at the infancy of this project and got some constructive feedback. Per your suggestion, we refined the algorithm and added recommendations for:

* Streaming on Netflix

* What to watch with another friend

* By Era/Genre/Actor/Director/Writer

We’re now officially showing this on HN, please share and tell us what you think!

P.S. Shout out to those who gave us suggestions:

The site is only a few months old, if you could remember the other site I'd love to know.

Coming soon!

We've tested other models but collaborative filtering gave us the most "human"/natural results. Also, didn't Netflix toss the matrix factorization after the contest? IIRC they decided to keep their current algorithm.

You can use the filter on the browse page to filter out old movies, or simply hide them!

The point of this site is to give you recommendations you haven't seen. I hate it when all the recommended movies on Netflix are all movies I've seen and can't get rid off...

Currently using iTunes but will be moving to TMDB soon

Hey! I work on the site, sorry for the mishap. You should be able to authenticate now!
