There was LoveFilm or something like that in the UK circa 2004 that worked like Netflix did (I think they bought them eventually).

The recommendations were pretty good, because I remember we mostly picked what was recommended.

It was bought by Amazon. For several years after that the Amazon Video streaming site and apps were just rebadged LoveFilm.
