Don't use it either.....

The suite or the jacuzzi?

I tried movie pick when it was implemented, but was not convinced. I never  used it after that.

I don't use Movie Pick personally, but I've seen enough forum questions about it to indicate that there are people who DO use it.  I don't think it should be removed for that reason.  The people who do use it are the ones who should weigh in on improving it.

It could be improved though, by combining it with filters so you could just get suggestions for a particular genre or genres.

Exactly,,  and it should be easy to do with filters as Profiler is 'rife' with filters.
Maybe Movie Pick can be improved on and not removed if this 'side' program was 'updated' in a future version of Invelos..?

No I haven't change anything. Its just that I've found that funny at the moment that it only sugest me those genre of movie choice after choice. Just like if I've only X rated movie in my collection (maybe 35 on more than 1000 movies)

Hi Widescreen,

I have to say, I quite like Movie Pick.  It did take a few gos to figure out how to get the most out of it, but I use it fairly often.  There are a few things I would like to change, but I can make good use of the feature as it is.

First off, I have 519 DVDs.  I realize many of the regular posters have considerably more than that, but with that number, I often find myself wasting time picking through my collection wondering what to watch.  I have 3 young children (4th on the way :-) and therefore have a very limited window during which I can watch a DVD.  Unfortunately, most of my watching is based on length.  I figure out how much time I have left after getting the kids to bed and still be able to get 7 hours sleep, and that determines the max length of the movie.  So I always set that option.  Then I have Genre set to max as that is the best indicator of what I feel like that night.  Then I start rating...

Let's say I feel like watching a Martial Arts movie with a max length of 1hr45 mins.  I hit F11, set the film length max.  It comes up with Wayne's World.  I rate that 1 out of 10, and it comes up with Kung Fu Panda.  Closer, so I rate that 5, and then it comes up with Brother Bear.  Wrong direction so I rate that a 1.  Then it comes up with Enter the Dragon.  Perfect.  It gets selected.  All the next 4 DVDs are Martial Arts movies less than 1hr45 mins.  Exactly what I asked for, and it took less than a minute.

Things I would change :
1). Allow an option to set the Genre it should search for at the outset.  Maybe there is a way to do this already?  If there is, I haven't found it.
2.  Remember the last Max Length selected.  For me at least, it is rare I can watch a DVD over 2 hours unless it is a Friday night.  I generally set it every time to 1hr45 max.

Personally, I haven't made much use of Last Watched, but have recently started recording that info so that I can turn on that filter eventually.  Right now, it would only filter out a handful of movies, but eventually it will be helpful in coming up with flicks I haven't seen in ages.

R.

Really?  I need to try that out.  Sometimes this program could use better documentation.
