Patricia:
You mean you were diagnosed with something called a brain cloud and didn't ask for a second opinion?
Errors in geography: Joe and Anjelica must have taken an awfully circuitous route to go from LAX to Los Angeles, since the drive is through Culver City, not the Pacific Coast Highway.

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.
