On all their recommendation pages they show random movies and then list the calculated PSI, so this kinda defeats the purpose. Hope they will improve on this.

I rated about 200 films and it recommended me loads of black and white war films... I don't know why it thinks I like that. It doesn't seem to use ANY kind of system that would be any use...

I much prefer http://movielens.umn.edu/main about the site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MovieLens its tech is based on a cool website that was around years ago called moviecritic.com, and adobe bought the site and technology used with the site, and closed it down. Movielens simply works like this... It takes your ratings patterns and bases its suggestions on the recommendations of other users with similar rating patterns.

What a PITA. I agree with Ryan that a better scoring system is needed, particularly since the critics nearly universally use a 5-star scale. Why does the average Joe suddenly need 100 stars? If I want to spend my time on movie information, I'll stick with the Hollywood Stock Exchange. http://rockhoppersdailygrind.blogspot.com/2007/07/for-movie-lovers.html I got 5 pages in, at 25 movies per page, before I realized you not only have to click “Seen it”, then enter a score, but also click “Submit”, and wait for each movie to score.

Treat it less like a school grade score. 50% should be ambivalent, not a complete fail. Otherwise your system really lacks nuance when only 100-80% is good. I think the rating system needs improved.
