Ask YC: Understanding how to do the best movie recommendation

There’s a billion lists and recommendation tools out there, but we realized that the movie we end up liking the best were always the ones recommended by our friends and family. They aren’t always available on Friday nights, so we thought, how about all the other friendly faces out there? How can we connect to them?

We would love if you could take a few minutes of your time and help us discover those insights by answering questions:

1. How do you get your movie recommendations?

2. How do you ask for a movie recommendation? Do you ask for a genre, actor, or something completely different?

3. Do you help people find a movie to watch when they ask?

4. How do you recommend a movie when asked?

5. How satisfied are you with the automated movie recommendations that Netflix, HBO and other online services give you?

6. If there was an app for it, would you like to become part of a community asking for and giving movie recommendations?

7. Would you like to be a part of our journey to create the best movie community then leave your email address here.
