Seen any good movies lately?

January 1, 2011 7:10 AM

2 part question: 1. I used to be a member of a movie site which made recommendations based on your likes and your friends likes and movies of a similar genre, but I've forgotten what it was called. Do you know of a site like that? Maybe I can recover my membership if I can find it again! 2. Can you recommend a social network for the cinema? Preferably one with similar characteristics to the one i used to know, with a good number of European & British, as well as US, content & users.

Is it Flixster?

I use Jinni. It sounds similar.

I use Criticker.com - you rank your movies out of 100 and the recommendations are made based on how similar your rankings are to other users of the site. Plus there's a forum for film talk.

Not either of those so far, but I will check out Flixster some more as I have the app on my phone. I hope I can find the one I lost...

You might also check out Mubi (formerly The Auteurs), which offers a lot of online films and is very international in scope.

Thanks everyone - I got some new leads and will try them, though not even Matchflick is my old site. Oh well, maybe whateveritis.com is now defunct.
