Show HN: Feeling-based movie search
My dad and I had a little idea to build a movie site, where the movies are tagged by what feelings they evoke instead of just genres. This was influenced by how playlists are tagged on 8tracks, and how game levels are tagged in LittleBigPlanet.
We threw something functional together, and would like to get some feedback on the idea/site. It allows anyone to tag movies with a variety of adjectives, and for a user to search by them.
This sort of tagging would allow us to find movies that are alike, a user to track which types of movies he/she likes, and offer a recommendation system based on the data.

- staunch 13y agoSeems like Thor and Wolf of Wall Street show up on every list. Some movies just seem wrongly categorized, but the biggest problem is there just aren't enough movies for it to be very useful yet. You need the top 1k movies at least I think. Another site of this type http://goodfil.ms/ http://goodfil.ms/
- rajacombinator 13y agothat site is pretty cool although i'm appalled to see they list Aguirre the Wrath of God as highly rewatchable... once is enough.
- Rizzo95 13y agoIt's fast, but I agree you need to add "top" lists. People don't really know what to search for when it comes to movies, they just want someone to tell them what's good/popular. You should curate lists like "Top Action Movies", and then have the search tool as a side feature.
- rajacombinator 13y agoyea there are so many crap movies out there that you need to do some heavy pre filtering
- rajacombinator 13y agoi think it's a good concept but I'm not sure it's good enough to compete with existing methods of finding movies.
- rotub 13y agoThis is a nice idea, and well executed. Well done! :)
