This is the main thing Jinni claims to do.

Have you tried it?

http://www.jinni.com/

Thanks for this - never had heard of jinni and after playing around for a few minutes I already found some awesome new movies that I wanna check out

I also strongly recommend http://tastekid.com/ . The recommendations are great, although it tends to give them very narrowly (very similar movies, rather than related movies you might enjoy but are in a different style). The name is also very unfortunate, but I love it.

I can't imagine too many people who wouldn't like that system. If only there was some way to introduce this idea to some kind of tech start-up community.

Well I think in this case, all you would need are some categories or tagging in goodfilms. Tagging would be kind of cool going past genres to things like mood, like a "easy watching" tag or something.
