• I am gathering a list of "best movies" from each year to watch. I'm looking for examples of cultural significance, popularity at release, and of course, enjoyability! What are some of your suggestions?

  I found this website called icheckmovies.com. This site has a bunch of both official and unofficial "Best Of" lists (Academy Award, IMDB, 1001 Movies to See Before You Die, Sight and Sound polls, etc etc etc). Some days I would pick a list that looked interesting. Some days I would just look at the "unchecked movies" list and sort by "number of official lists." Then I'd pick something to watch. Sometimes it was an... Source: over 1 year ago

• Greatest ‘Greatest Movies Of All Time’ List

  I'm a frequent user of icheckmovies.com and they have virtually all legitimate movie lists out there. Makes it super easy to keep track of progress. I've seen the full AFI Top 100 but there are certainly better lists out there. Source: almost 2 years ago

• The Movies that The Oscars Got Wrong

  Icheckmovies.com is a movie tracking website (similar to Letterboxd) that revolves around checking off how many movies you've seen from various "toplists", as decided by the owners and community. There are currently 214 recognized lists, which vary from IMDB's Top 250, to BoxOfficeMojo's Highest Grossing Films, to Quentin Tarantino's Coolest Movies. /r/movies even used to maintain a list, but it appears to be...

• In-show bi- and homophobia?

  On a social website (taste.io) I read a comment complaining about ‘bi- and homophobia sprinkled throughout [Elementary]’. The site doesn’t allow to react to comments so I couldn’t ask the person, but their comment got me thinking and I would like to hear people’s opinion: Do you think the show has some problematic moments in regards to lgbt+ representation and if yes, can you provide concrete examples?

• How difficult would it be to build a recommender system for TV shows at scale?

  It's John from taste.io, I think it depends on the method you want to use and where you're able to retrieve data to train the model. With a short amount of time and limited resources, you won't have the luxury of creating a collaborative filtering model....content-filtering is possible if you can also be resourceful with APIs + build crawlers. But, the results might be mediocre...meaning, the recommendations... Source: over 2 years ago

• How difficult would it be to build a recommender system for TV shows at scale?

  I have been asked to build a recommender system for TV shows at large scale, meaning thousands of users across the entire libraries of services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Something like taste.io but completely focussed on TV shows and not movies. My main concern is the complexity of this project, I have read up on recommender systems, and they seem fairly straightforward, its the scale that scares me. Source: over 2 years ago
