Netflix public API shuts down on Nov 14...

I've already seen a few third party API's out and about these past couple of months

It's too bad the website referenced is totally down, I for one would love to use it :)

Make sure to check out http://instantwatcher.com, you can filter by RT rating, style, year of release, etc.

This site is pretty helpful, I agree.

I'm responding to note my frustration with simple filtering by RT rating...a lot of movies have a high RT rating, but with very low confidence (e.g., 75, because 3 of 4 obscure reviewers liked it). You want want to filter by confidence also, but the interface doesn't allow it. It's frustrating because it's so close to solved; all the hard work of gathering the data is done, but the filtering is slightly too simplistic.

http://netflixroulette.net/ is also an alternative for finding a movie to watch, it's just a roulette. The author also made the API for everyone to use since Netflix shut down their.

What I would actually need is a way to choose from the many movies worth watching.... but the hard part is doing so without choosing a movie not worth watching.

Anyone know of a website which offers similar functionality but with an option to choose the region you're in?

Sad it is down. Well done on the 404 page though.

Amazing 503 page
