Strange. My first reaction is that the auto-complete was so bad that it, alone, would keep me from ever returning. I typed in "Ran" (the last film I saw), and then I had to click a tiny down-arrow about 25 times, and the down-arrow jumps around as you go. What takes "3 letters + return + click" on IMDB, took "3 letters + 25 precise clicks + return" on Nanocrowd. Autocomplete is usually an optional assist; here, it's more like a mandatory in-place search system with awkward controls.
I would have left a note about this (and other issues), but their only feedback mechanisms seem to be email or logging in to Blogger.
It may be the coolest recommendation algorithm ever, but from these first two things I tried, the interface seems fairly high-overhead. You need to hook me before I'll go for high-overhead. You need to convince me that you're more valuable than, say, simply listing other films by the same director. For "Ran", Nanocrowd recommends "Rambo" -- 'nough said. :-)
