Alternative approaches to finding great movies
|
|
I think most people use MovieLens for the same reason: We want to find movies that we will love. MovieLens (and collaborative filtering in general) is good, and probably the most efficient method we have. I'd like to open a discussion on other methods people use for finding movies and how effective they find them to be. Examples might be word-of-mouth or reading reviews, or on the far end of the spectrum, something like "data mining".

Thanks, Dingbutt. I like your IMDB search trick.
I note that you can switch out one of the 2009s and create a search over a range of years. Like this:
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?num_votes=100,&sort=user_ratin...
I'm inclined to recommend a minimum number of votes of a few hundred, to bring up some *really* interesting/obscure stuff. This is a good way of finding movies that are generally too obscure to have been entered into the MovieLens database at all.
