I'm just curious as to how it is that I've rated 243 items on Netflix and I've gotten a total of 1 movie recommendation (a movie, which incidentally, I have, but haven't watched yet) and 5 TV show recommendations.

I expect my 5*'ing The Wire is largely responsible for the TV shows, based on my study of why it was recommended.

But really, only 1 movie? A little discouraging so far.

Since the just finished a competition (http://www.netflixprize.com/) that improved their recommendations maybe it is that you have either seen all of their recommendations or just have a really unique movie personality.

I went through and re-rated some movies and we're up to 4 suggestions based on 358 films, so I wonder if some of this is in how each of us individually rates movies on a 1-5 scale.

1839 movies rated, it says 0 suggestions, but on the page there are actually 12 movies. Not sure if those count or they just had to throw something on the page though.

The OC, Dawson's Creek, Alex Mack...looks like it's working just fine.
