Netflix recommendations have essentially never worked for me.  It occasionally identifies a category I might be interested in, but essentially drops the ball on actual content.  I think the best film I&#x27;ve seen recommended in a genre was <i>Charlie Victor Romeo</i>.<p>There are still some excellent movies (<i>Primer</i>, <i>Metropolis</i>, <i>Ronin</i>, <i>Barton Fink</i>, <i>The Man Who Wasn&#x27;t There</i>, etc...), particularly classics.  And the documentaries are probably under appreciated (<i>Genius on Hold</i>, <i>Cave of Forgotten Dreams</i>, both <i>Cosmos</i>, etc...).  So, someone is probably paying attention.  I have to randomly search for specific things from time to time though.  Sometimes sites like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;bestofnetflix" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;bestofnetflix</a> help.<p>One of the bigger problems I&#x27;ve noticed is that some movies tend to be cut short though.  It&#x27;s almost never a director&#x27;s cut.
