I too look forward to this site. The problem with Smart Recommendations that Netflix and Pandora make is they are still subject to highly subjective tastes. I could have watched 6 documentaries on Wine, rated them all 5 stars and I still might not like the title recommended by Netflix, even if it is a documentary about wine and has an average 4.9 from other Netflix users. There are simply too many variables and most people (myself included) are fickle. If I'm in a certain I could like a movie I would otherwise dislike.
