I have hundreds of movies rated in my Netflix DVD account. I wish I could export my ratings and import them elsewhere.

Any such options? Amazon Prime shows movies’ star ratings (from IMDb?), but didn’t let users rate movies, AFAICT. I’ve found Taste.io https://www.taste.io/ recommendations to be very good, even with fewer ratings than I gave a Netflix.

I have probably a thousand ratings and I know they are allowing a PDF export of your history and ratings. If I could find the right service I wouldn't mind spending a rainy afternoon or sick day migrating them by hand. That would allow me to revisit some of my old ratings and adjust them for my changed tastes. As far as I know there's no export function beyond that, however.

I'll give taste.io a spin. It looks like it might be a bit streaming focused. I know letterboxd is where real film fans go, but I'll miss that usually spot on star prediction.

PDF? I exported my Netflix data a couple months ago and I'm pretty sure it was either CSV, XML, or JSON.

As per their new FAQ [1] you may request download of this data

Thanks! Interesting that MovieLens is a university research project (University of Minnesota).

You can export all your data from Netflix.
