Via Kottke, Netflix is offering a $1 million prize for developing a better movie recommendation system. An individual analyzing their data noted that Netflix members have rated some movies either particularly high or particularly low. Here’s the top 10:
1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. Lost in Translation
3. Pearl Harbor
4. Miss Congeniality
5. Napoleon Dynamite
6. Fahrenheit 9/11
7. The Patriot
8. The Day After Tomorrow
9. Sister Act
10. Armageddon
An interesting list. NewMexiKen has seen eight of these and I understand the strong feelings.
