This is cool. I don't watch so many movies anymore, so there must be many good ones i've missed. Is there a functioning natural language query somewhere?

"I want to watch a science fiction movie that is not a super hero movie. Movies I love are Dark City and Daybreakers. Prioritize movies of short length, nothing more than 2h30. Filter out movies I've already rated, here's my Watchlist"

You need to watch Just Imagine 1930.

The movie has countless things we know from much later productions and countless things not seen elsewhere.

It takes place in the distant future, 1980, a place where everyone has a flying car, people have numbers in stead of names, the government decides who you can marry and babies come out of vending machines.

One IMDB comment described it as: I sat on the tip of my chair wondering if it could get any stranger and then it did!

It'd be trivial to ask LLM to generate the query; but since it's a client-side app there's nowhere to store the api key - so each user would have to supply one, which is a bit of an awkward experience.
