A movie recommender (item-item) that recommends movies similar to a proposed movie. The similarity is based on tags, specifically the tag genome created by GroupLens.
This is mostly because I have a personal need for this and I would like alternatives to existing movie recommendation services, but I may make it available online if time permits.
A second step would be to introduce an example critiquing aspect, allowing for interactions like "show me movies similar to 'Crimson Peak' but with less horror".
All of this is based on the MovieLens 25M dataset and an accompanying article (http://files.grouplens.org/papers/tag_genome.pdf) describing a recommender called 'Movie Tuner' that is no longer available.
It will be fun to tune the recommendations based on my own preferences. For example I don't need an algorithm to suggest movies that have the same actor/director.

Initial results are encouraging.
