The size of the library is important, but more relevant is creating value for the customer. In my case, both Netflix and iTunes shit the bed. I want an interface where my wife and I can sit on the couch and collectively pick out a movie to watch. iTunes and AppleTV offer a large catalogue, but never "sells" the movie. There are no user ratings or any other information to give us confidence (false or otherwise) to buy. Content is available, but not discoverable in iTunes. Netflix was once solid, but they oversimplified the interface and now there is no way to browse by genre.
That being said, I think there is an opportunity for something like "goodfilms", but I signed up and it combines the worst parts of itunes with the worst parts of netflix. I am not sure who it helps. Even the cute chart they present is deeply flawed from a UI perspective. They could have at least color coded the dots.
- pvidler 14y agoiTunes has user ratings and reviews, although they seem to be read-only on the Apple TV (I believe you need iTunes to write your own). You can't sort by user rating, which is also a problem in the app stores. Netflix on the Apple TV has genre listings — I believe Apple designed the interface, so it may be a little different from other versions.
