I was just browsing around IMDB today, and came across the weirdest recommendation.
For Secretary (2002): Magnolia (1999).
WTF?
Oh yeah, and of course, for Magnolia: "If you liked this title, we also recommend: American Werewolf in London, An (1981)." :shock:
Silly computers. I haven't seen AWiL, of course, but I can't see what werewolves have to do with a film like Magnolia. Crazy stuff. Sometimes, when a film is recommended, it's accurate, but obviously, these inaccuracies are more interesting.
Any more like this? (Not just limited to IMDB, of course.)
see American Werewolf in London. its great. dark, funny, groundbreaking special effects/makeup work. see here...

Horror isn't really my thing, though. Question is, what, if anything, does it have to do with Magnolia?
i love magnolia and i love american werewolf in london. there are lots more people like me that are going on imdb and giving magnolia a 10 and then giving AWiL 10, thus, the computer sees people that like magnolia as people that like AWiL. SEE?!?!?!!
It's all clear to me now. With that logic, I don't see how it could fail. It's brilliant, I say! BRILLIANT!
The recommendations for Boogie Nights include this (mostly) excellent but seemingly random collection of films:
The Godfather trilogy
The Big Lebowski
Falling Down
Mulholland Dr.
Rushmore
Terms of Endearment (?)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Catch Me If You Can
The Stunt Man
Other weird ones:
If you like Romero's Dawn of the Dead, go check out Dogma
If you like Andrew McCarthy in Mannequin, go check out The Hudsucker Proxy
If you like Donnie Darko, go check out Halloween H2O

Never go against the family. Jack Horner is the Godfather.
QuoteThe Big Lebowski
Julianne Moore gets naked here and there. And both are pretty musical.
QuoteFalling Down
Dirk Diggler falling down...
QuoteMulholland Dr.
Eh, I'm stumped there.
QuoteRushmore

QuoteTerms of Endearment (?)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High

QuoteCatch Me If You Can
Catch Dirk When He ... Cums?
QuoteThe Stunt Man
Hehe. Use your imagination.
Stretching those to fit was fun.

Of those, I've only seen Donnie Darko and Dogma. Heard H2O was horrible, so that's awful right there.
