Introducing TrailerMatic.com (blog.briangreenbaum.com)

It works great. In fact, it recommends such good movies that I'm almost guaranteed to have seen them many times already. Ferris, Outlaw Josie Wales, Back to the Future. All are perfect picks for me, but it might be neat to add a few lesser known selections. I find myself keeping a google doc of movie recommendations from reddit threads, then renting when I have the time. Found Primer this way.

Neat idea. It would be great to be able to only show trailers of movies available on Netflix.

How do you know if these movies are available on Netflix? (no, I haven't checked to see if netflix has an api for this)

I like trailers but they are not all created equal. The longest trailer, released close to the release of a movie, is usually spoiler ridden. It will contain shots from every important scene, each action sequence/set piece, the crucial plot twist moment, and all the good effects shots and props. They take much of the awe and surprise out of seeing a movie.

The 30-60 second teaser trailers seem to be much better. They still get you interested, but don't try to actually hide things, and leave you wanting more.

For convenience, here's a link to the TrailerMatic app: http://www.trailermatic.com/

First, this is really cool. Grats for putting it together. Next, I would say that this falls into a category of app that I like to call "Discovery". There is just so much content of every flavor out there that Discovery apps will carve out an entire niche for every niche of people out there. Have you thought about adding a log in that would allow people to simply click +(more) or -(less) for each item presented? Thereby allowing you to hone your recommendations...

I'd love to be able to save for later. Also, a link to imdb or a similar movie db would be nice too.

great start but too many 80s movies!

what a nice simple app. I like it!
