In seeking underrated movie recommendations, suggesting lesser-known titles or asking for underrated ones can filter out the most obvious answers. For someone who enjoys popular films like Ocean's Eleven, The Gentleman, and Heat, recommending underrated movies such as Layer Cake, Inside Man, and The Town can be more appealing. If those are already seen, suggesting further underrated examples like A Simple Plan, The Bank Job, and The Way of the Gun, known for gripping stories and clever twists, may be suitable.
On this episode of The Vergecast, we look at why TV and movie recommendations are so complicated, and whether AI might be able to make them better. If Spotify can build infinite playlists of music you’ll like, and YouTube and TikTok always seem to have the perfect thing ready to go, why can’t Netflix or Hulu or Max seem to get it right?
