Top AV Club rated movies on Netflix

March 12, 2013 6:53 PM

I trust the AV Club rankings. Is there a way to cross-reference their top ranked films with Netflix's streaming library? For example I'd like to see all A-rated films that are available on Netflix instant streaming.

Not AV Club, but this Chrome extension adds Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings to the Netflix streaming page.

There are several Netflix-related userscripts, one of which you may be able to modify to work on AV Club pages to show a link to Netflix. These work with Greasemonkey, Chrome, or (depending) both.

Maybe copypaste both into separate columns in a spreadsheet and do a [lookup]?

Also not the AV Club, but the NetflixBestOf subreddit often has good recommendations. (This is my only routine use of Reddit, for whatever that's worth)

Response by poster: Thanks for the suggestions! I've reached out to Josh Blum who created the Netflix Rate Chrome extension. This is an excerpt of his response:

I did a quick Google and didn't see any API for AVClub so integrating it with the extension would require a fair amount of work. I'm going to look into it a little more this weekend when I have more time and see how feasible it is. I'll send you an update then.

I'll post an update next week.
