Get personal movie recommendations with Clerkdogs

Posted on February 1, 2009 at 5:04 am

Do you enjoy watching movies more than the next guy? If your friends or family members are always asking you for movie recommendations, then there’s a good chance that you’re a movie addict. Being one isn’t a bad thing. It just means that you know a great movie when you see one.

Once you’ve visited various movie websites such as Blockbuster Online or Netflix, you’ll begin to notice that their services try to recommend movies based on previous selections. Although this can be good sometimes, there will come a time when these recommendations are far from your personal preferences.

Of course, you could use the old fashioned method of asking your friends, family members, and work associates about their recommended movie choices. However, you’ll probably want to put your great Internet skills to work first.

Clerkdogs is a website that uses movie recommendations from actual video store clerks. Since they’re actually working in video stores, they’ll be able to make the right sort of movie recommendations based on your criteria. The two easiest ways that Clerkdogs can make appropriate movie recommendations are usually based on movie genres and themes.

This little feature helps to cut down on the incorrect movie recommendations you may experience from other similar websites.

To get started in your movie discovery journey, just simply sign up for a free account. Once you’re able to log into it, start with a basic search. Enter one of your favorite movies and then click the “match it” button. You’ll receive multiple search results that are similar to your entered movie preference. Scan through the results and choose one that appeals to you.

In order to gain a little more control of your movie recommendation experience, access the “Movie DNA” portion of the website. It will allow you to do a new search based on your mood. Begin building your list by conveniently sliding the controls back and forth.

This will allow you to change the characteristics of your movie recommendations. Explore the details of your chosen movies further by reading the included summary and list of characters.

Clerkdogs makes it extremely easy to locate new movies each day. Customize your search list as often and as much as you like. Instead of reading through a ton of movie recommendations that make no sense, you’ll have instant access to a list of watchable movies that fall into your chosen preferences.

The entire process is simple and basic. There are no complicated rules that turn it into a painful process. The interface is easy to maneuver through and will only take a few short minutes to work with.

When you’re in the mood for a good movie and don’t know where to start, visit Clerkdogs to get a smart movie recommendation from actual people that know movies. Considering that the website is still in Beta, it may not contain every movie ever made. Hopefully, the movie database will continue to grow and there will be more movie recommendations to browse through.

Well, last time I found a couple of sites which recommend movies based on your previous rating (eg: love-movies.info), so recommendations chosen by someone looks like pretty old idea…

Awesome! My girlfriend and I just used ClerkDogs to find a really good movie that we had never heard of before. Will definitely keep using it…
