I think most recommendation engines optimize for the wrong thing.
They optimize for similar movies.
The real goal should be:
'What movie will THIS person love?'
Agree or disagree?

What's the most underrated sci-fi movie ever made?
Not the best. Not your favorite.
The one you think deserves way more attention than it gets. #SciFiMovies
What's a movie everyone seems to love that just didn't work for you?
No judgment. Some of the most interesting movie conversations start with unpopular opinions.
Be honest: how long do you usually spend scrolling before you actually pick a movie?
I think this is the real problem movie recommendation apps should solve. Not “more options.” Fewer, better ones.
“Backrooms” earned $7.9 million on its second Friday in North American theaters.
After shattering expectations with an $81.5 million opening weekend, the liminal horror-thriller is expected to add another $25 million by Sunday. A24 only spent about $10 million on “Backrooms,” meaning it’s already one of the most profitable films of the year. https://t.co/iN03xRJZq4
@kinggabonft Arrival is one of my top recs! I am a sucker for sci-fi and mind-bending movies, and always looking for new ones that fit those categories 👽🤯
