The best for... what. Some of the best movie experiences I've had was when I saw something someone else picked, something I would never have picked on my own.

- crondog 9y agolet me counter your anecdote with mine: I saw something somebody else picked, and it was complete trash. In fact, this is trivially the case every time I see anything awful that has at least one positive review. Judging by, say, RT page for the last jedi, this is a common experience. It's all about the signal to noise ratio. It is more likely that you'll enjoy a work that was enjoyed by people similar to you. It is also possible that you'll enjoy a work recommended solely by some random pseudonym on the internet, but less likely.
- jacobush 9y agoahh.. there are more parameters I didn't consider: * high median (many good films, low tolerance for trash) * finding jewels (can wade through lots of trash to find that outstanding film) * high baseline (a minimum quality is important, no trash please)
