Goodfilms

http://goodfil.ms does worth seeing once and worth rewatching.

I'm keen! I'm the founder of Goodfilms: http://goodfil.ms We're based in Melbourne and building a site to help you figure out what films you're going to enjoy. We're about to step out from behind a private beta into a public one, and it's great to see such support for Australian startups. You should check out our blog post about what we do and why we're different (http://blog.goodfil.ms/blog/2011/10/07/a-better-way-to-rate-films/), and if you think we'd be good to feature on your blog, get in touch. All the best, -Glen Maddern @glenmaddern

Seems like Thor and Wolf of Wall Street show up on every list. Some movies just seem wrongly categorized, but the biggest problem is there just aren't enough movies for it to be very useful yet. You need the top 1k movies at least I think. Another site of this type http://goodfil.ms/

I always use http://goodfil.ms to review movies and queue up moves I want to see.

Top notch design and execution! Just love the discovery line/zoom feature, very unique and useful. Minor issues: - How are the hearts calculated? - The graph is too crowded, I would put genres on the left of the graph and allow genre filtering - I expected selecting a genre will show me the graph with just that genre, it didn't happen, the graph wasn't shown. - Bug? clicking on one of the films, eg: http://goodfil.ms/film/108266-arthur shows a mini graph, but nothing is highlighted on it, not even the file itself. Nothing happened clicking on any of the circles (using Chrome) - I want search to be able to indicate the film on the graph - related films should also include really related films instead of ones by the "line" metric. Eg, Arthur 2011 should show older Arthur film.

I like what I see, but I'm puzzled. Searched for a movie, found, but can't see the price for it in the listing. http://goodfil.ms/film/264469-quest-for-love

Source here: http://plnkr.co/edit/IfpBH4 This was as big as I could get it before my computer started to grind to a halt, but it's more of a demo of how little code it takes to do this sort of thing in AngularJS than anything else. Took me away from building http://goodfil.ms for about 40 minutes all up.

I love this site, I use it all the time. My feature request would be for the site to recommend films for me to watch next. Sure you can see what friends are rating, but I don't have any (friend me? http://goodfil.ms/user/4221 ). And sure you can use the "find films" feature http://goodfil.ms/explore However, both of these lack a "based on your ratings we think your going to love Memento" or a "sure lots of people loved the Avengers, but your not going to like it" Nevertheless, I will continue to use this site as a way to catalog all of the films I see and how much I liked them, and IMO there is no better service out there for this purpose.

I assume you are talking about http://goodfil.ms/?

http://goodfil.ms does a pretty good job of this.

Also have a look at Goodfilms - http://goodfil.ms

aside: I was going to refer the goodfilms blog post[1] but decided to check quora first (I've stopped using it because of their login/read only first answer) and there it was! (and it appears that quora has removed the gating) Also, can you make your references clickable? [1] http://goodfil.ms/blog/posts/2011/10/07/a-better-way-to-rate-films

Rolling with the whole talking to myself thing, I went investigating and implemented some of the suggestions with d3 and pilfered assets: http://cold-mountain-3633.herokuapp.com/ (tested only in chrome) 1. Does "hover and update only one poster at a time" right. If goodfli.ms had built there website as something that communicated via json instead of HTML, I would have rolled this sort of page into the graphic as well: http://goodfil.ms/film/89441-cars-2 2. Attempted to make a visual difference between netflix and itunes. I couldn't figure out how they determined whether something was in itunes, so the colors are more of a proof of concept than anything meaningful. 3. Rolled out a trick using fisheye distortion to allow people to explore density spatially via their mouse. To learn how it was done, think about how this works: http://bost.ocks.org/mike/fisheye/ Overall, this is quick, dirty and probably missing the point of the original graphic. Self serving plug: if you, fair reader, have data you want to be smeared in d3.js lipstick, I do requests: https://www.odesk.com/users/~~80bea7ba2750c34b
