Netflix Suggestions For You - Blu-ray Forum

Does anybody have any luck with Netflix suggestions? According to netflix I hate movies.

I've rated 1,535 movies. I don't give away 5 star ratings, but I have 9 1/2 out of 67 pages with 5 stars. Some things I gave 5 stars to: Taxi Driver, Road to Perdition, Return of the Living Dead, Nightmare Before Christmas, Cape Fear, Donnie Brasco, The Seventh Seal, some George Carlin stand up, The Deer Hunter, Eastern Promises, 1984. So I give out 5 star ratings only to stuff that is truly great or that I just really enjoy. Mostly truly great stuff however.

However, Netflix claims the highest I'll give a movie I haven't seen yet is 4.2. There is only one blu-ray I haven't seen with a "best guess for you" rating of 4.2. The majority of any movies are guessed at 3.1 to 3.5, which to me means "average".

It's highly annoying, because their suggestions is useless. When they claim "you won't care much for it, but won't absolutely hate it" about every movie, how am I suppose to know if I should give a movie I never heard of a try or not?

Does anybody else have a similiar problem with netflix suggestions? Or do you find it to be generally okay?
