MovieLens – Non-Commercial, Personalized Movie Recommendation System

I rated 43 films, then selected "Top Picks for You" and got 0 results. So I decided to not watch a movie and instead go for a walk. Which turned out to be exactly what I needed. Five stars.

Have you tried selecting the "warrior" mode? The same thing happened to me but after I selected "warrior" mode, recommendations popped up.

Edit: It seems that the "wizard" mode is updated daily or so.

Same here. The wizard mode seems broken. As soon as I rated more than a handful of movies it started showing 0 recomendations.

It seems that recommendations by the "wizard" mode are updated daily or so. I signed up yesterday and got nothing with the wizard mode. It starts to show promising results just now I checked.

You'd think that they wouldn't make it the default mode then. Or at least warn the user.

Regardless what the root cause is the end result is that it's broken from a user perspective.

already-released-film is one of the markets where I would have little reason to distrust the for-profit model.

until I questioned that trust.
