Surely the point of a recommendation system is that it is just that, a recommendation?
I find a lot of my joy in watching netflix is randomly browsing through the catalogue and selecting a random film that I would never watch if I had to either schedule watching on TV or pay to watch at the movies.
The fact that Netflix brings together a wide range of different movies and television programs in one place where for no cost I can watch something you may not like has opened a world of media I would never have found before.
