One neat trick I discovered for finding good movies on IMDb is to delve into the review history of users who share my unique tastes, especially when they diverge from mainstream opinions.

For example, I found "Paris, Texas" to be pretty disappointing, yet most reviews were overwhelmingly positive. So, I sought out others who also didn't enjoy it and explored their review history to find movies we both agreed on.

Occasionally, you'll hit the jackpot and find an avid reviewer whose taste aligns perfectly with yours, providing a treasure trove of excellent movie recommendations.

I like to call these users my "IMDb doppelgangers."

This is the premise of Criticker.com. You rate movies, and it will show you recommendations from similar movie watchers. They call it a "Taste Compatibility Index".

Criticker has been around since 2005, is super accurate with movie and tv recommendations and they're now owned by a big company!

There used to be a recommendation engine called tastekid where you could search for multiple movie likes and dislikes in the same query.

Another plus was you didn’t even need to create a profile. Maybe that was their downfall

They still exist. They rebranded to TasteDive, but are still doing the same service: https://tastedive.com/

So, obvious question, is there a database of IMDB reviews?
