What I'll really miss about Netflix DVD is the recommendation system. It adapted to the user rather than showing some pointless average. I graded things from 1-5 with 3 being a movie I liked and when it showed me ratings, it would show me what my expected rating would be. So when I saw a three star movie, I could expect to like it. If I saw a 4 star movie I could expect to really like it. I've not seen anything to replicate that since.
- cpeterso 3y agoI have hundreds of movies rated in my Netflix DVD account. I wish I could export my ratings and import them elsewhere. Any such options? Amazon Prime shows movies’ star ratings (from IMDb?), but didn’t let users rate movies, AFAICT. I’ve found Taste.io https://www.taste.io/ https://www.taste.io/ recommendations to be very good, even with fewer ratings than I gave a Netflix.
- stinkytaco 3y agoI have probably a thousand ratings and I know they are allowing a PDF export of your history and ratings. If I could find the right service I wouldn't mind spending a rainy afternoon or sick day migrating them by hand. That would allow me to revisit some of my old ratings and adjust them for my changed tastes. As far as I know there's no export function beyond that, however. I'll give taste.io a spin. It looks like it might be a bit streaming focused. I know letterboxd is where real film fans go, but I'll miss that usually spot on star prediction.
