If you don't like Netflix's ratings recommendations, you might like to try MovieLens.org. They let you choose between different algorithms & provide some additional stats (eg your average rating per genre, unusual likes & dislikes, distribution of ratings by decade).

Cool! But at some point, providing stats yourself is just fudging the algorithm. Why not just browse those categories yourself, instead of diddle an algorithm and seeing if it predicted correctly? Except maybe that's fun too.
