How do the recommendations work?

With over one million titles in the database, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a complex formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre, title, keywords, and, most importantly, user recommendations themselves to generate an automatic response.

The system produces excellent results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches, particularly on films where we don't have a lot of data/credits.

If you disagree with a Recommendation for a given title and know of a better one, we encourage you to help us improve the results. Look for the "Update" button at the bottom of the page and add more relevant (or just plain more) Keywords and help make our Recommends feature more useful, more appropriate, and more fun.

Find a Recommended Flick

Based on a complex formula and ongoing feedback from movie fans around the world, we've sorted through hundreds of thousands of movies and TV shows (some on video, some not) to come up with IMDb Recommends. Enter the name of a favorite movie or show, click "go," and we'll recommend a few others you might like.

Enter movie title:
Example: Type "Being John Malkovich" and click Go!
