Over the easter long weekend, I decided to try and create a list of films that I want to watch. First of all, I racked my brains and wrote a big long list of
my favourite films. Using this info, I spent a while browsing through the following movie recommendation websites:
Rotten Tomatoes,
Tastekid,
Movielens,
IMDb,
Criticker, and
Clerkdogs.
I found Clerkdogs and Tastekid to be the best for finding new films to watch, and I used RottenTomatoes and IMDB just to run a check on the plot/ratings to see if the film really suited my fancy.
Here is a list that I have compiled. If you have seen any of these films, let me know if any are good or crap.
