Quotes

Jane Powell:
[watching a riot on TV] What do you expect if you keep taking people's jobs away?


Mark Varda:
Got nothing to do with it.


Jane Powell:
What do you mean?


Mark Varda:
They don't want jobs. At least not the kind they're qualified to do. So even if we did manage to open all those steel mills and dog biscuit factories, we wouldn't get them to sign on.


Jane Powell:
Are you saying they don't want to work?


Mark Varda:
Oh, I dare say they wouldn't mind being president of IBM or a TV star. Or John McEnroe.

How do we recommend titles?

With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
