I worked at a movie startup, very similar to this idea, way back in 2007-8. It was my first startup experience, and I knew back then that it was not really an interesting product. We did a lot of cool text mining stuff on movie reviews we scraped (I am a statistician by trade) and at the time provided a way of searching based on emotions and moods. It was kind of neat, but even still - we were making a glorified movie list, which is not a problem anyone actually has. At the time, our biggest 'competitor' (in our eyes) was jinni.com, which still seems to be doing something similar to what they set out to do way back then. It's 2014 now, and I still see about 1-3 of these types of sites pop up every year. I just met a guy who has a similar movie list app out in Berkeley last week - no joke. So, does your product suck? Maybe not. Is it a product solving a real problem that people will pay for? I don't think so. I personally don't see any value in using this site over Netflix, and I'm sure a lot of others would agree with me. But it is okay if no one likes it - you can get a lot out of making something without it being successful or ultimately useful. I learned a lot working at that movie startup, and I am glad I did it, even though the damn thing fell apart before we could generate revenue. Revel in it, pal! You have created something!
