My "hack" is to ask strangers the following questions: "I'm going to watch a movie tonight, what's a really good movie that I probably haven't seen." This works best with strangers or people you've just met. I find that people who know me always recommend movies that I've either already seen, or decided that I don't want to see. If the stranger has any affinity towards movies, they can almost certainly come up with a gem that you've never heard of. I discovered this works when I asked this exact question of someone on a whim and they recommended "Castaway on the Moon". It was a darn good movie, that I never would have found/watched on my own. I've since asked this question of all sorts of people with great results.
