Pontius Pilate:
Do you realize I have the power to release you or have you crucified?
Jesus Christ:
You wouldn't have had that power over me if it hadn't been given to you from above.

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.
