Somewhat related: search for "Zombie Strippers" on Netflix and check out the third result. The first two results make sense, the third, not so much. Someone at Netflix must not like her.

I recently rated all the Original Star Wars movies. Now on the front page it mentions:
Based on your recent interest in Star Wars, you might like these other movies for 8-10 year olds. With recommendations of "secret of nimh, Snow buddies, The Fox and the Hound........ Please rate this genre ....

Um... almost all of them.
NF recommendations are generally only supassed in irrelevance and silliness by Amazon. Wow, those guys are just high. E.g. Buy a label maker, and for four years they try to sell me: competing label makers. Whatever.
