Very nice. Maybe you could build a recommendation engine on top, Netflix seems to have a knack for recommending things I've already seen. Relies in me telling you which films I like of course, or an existing similar dataset.

Thank you! There's already a recommendation engine I've made actually, it's the home page of the link I put: https://www.movieofthenight.com/

Indeed, excellent work. Was thinking more of personal customisation based on previous selections/ratings rather than filters.

You can have that by signing in. Once you have couple of stuff in your favorites list, in Feed page a new row called "Movies for You" and "Series for You" will appear. Though right now it's updated every 24 so it might take up to a day for them to appear.

Ah, excellent. I will most definitely give this a go.

TV Time does this somewhat - track what you’ve watched and it’ll recommend other stuff for you. It also shows where to watch but needs some work on identifying what’s free vs paid streaming.

I would assume that's quite a hard project, considering that even for Netflix it took two decades of research and world-class AI competition(s?) with a million dollar prize(s?) :

(Note that was for the much more USA-focused DVD by mail Netflix, so the current problem might be even harder to figure out !)
