I think the scrolling page numbers isn't the best. I would go stick to the traditional 1|2|3|4|5|...|29|30


I would prefer infinite scrolling as on e.g. http://lookbook.nu and http://images.bing.com/search?q=cat


If you added TV shows it would be better. Finding movies isn't hard, finding episodes of TV shows is tedious and error prone.


cf. http://hackerne.ws/item?id=4054800, and you're absolutely right. We're working on reduce pain points, TV shows is an even more interesting challenge.


Doesn't this already exist?

Edit:

The rottentomatoes version also returns way more results (given the same parameters) -

Abetterqueue: http://abetterqueue.com/movies?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query[rati...

2 results

-------------------------------------------

Rotten Tomatoes:

75%+, Action Adventure, 2010-2012

29 results


This is because Rotten Tomatoes uses a more thorough criteria for "Action and Adventure", whereas A Better Queue uses the first Netflix genre criteria that's listed on the result from its api. So yeah, Rotten Tomatoes is more thorough in this regard. Most of the movies listed by Rotten Tomatoes with this criteria are under different genres in A Better Queue.


Rottentomatoes uses the netflix API, so I don't think it's anything you can't do.


You're totally right. I should do some more parsing through Netflix's schemas to get to where Rotten Tomatoes is at. Thanks for pointing this out!



Some of the most entertaining movies I've watched were 'rated' as a failure (<50)

'Professional' critics suck.
