Have you seen InstantWatcher (http://www.instantwatcher.com)?

Probably the best use of the Netflix API I've seen - accounts for the search areas where Netflix lacks, without losing discoverability.

Your project is obviously much closer to the netflix design than IW is, but check it out, might give you some ideas!

I did stumble on to Instant Watcher midway through development. It's a great concept - I especially like the aggregation of review information. IW covers the full spectrum of search, recommendations and queue management. Qwikstant is much simpler by comparison, partially by virtue of not cutting off more than I could chew (also working fulltime), but also because I was scratching my own itch and search was the issue I was trying to solve.
