They all look interesting. Many years ago, netflix did the same. It recommended me a bunch of movies that seemed really interesting and I liked a ton of them, but these days netflix is a low bar. I'd bet they could do a great job, but have a more limited movie selection. Either that or the algo has actually declined.

Are you just on streaming? I've noted that the recommendations for streaming are fairly restrictive since they only have around 6000 movies available at a time.

With DVDs, the greater selection means better recommendations.

That many? Always feels more like 10.
Or payolla. Never assume a bad algorithm when a good algorithm makes less money.
