A film discovery application that suggests movies similar to one you select.
Discovr Movies is a film discovery application that suggests movies similar to one you select. It presents these suggestions as a dynamic web of nodes; clicking on a node expands the suggestions specific to it.
While not nearly as powerful as Netflix's suggestion system, which takes the user's ratings of multiple movies into account rather than just the preference for a single movie, Discovr Movies can provide ideas if you're stumped for your next movie night. There is a favorites feature which can be used to catalog good starting points, in addition to a selection of films in cinemas, developer picks, and a search function for your choice of film.
Sam's Protip: Rather a lot of films have very few or no related films in the database. However, it seems that this may be a fault in the data source, Rovi Corporation, rather than this app's developers.
