A case of the randoms.

So, I'm browsing netflix today and I'm noticing the recommended titles they have for me are all separated into different and totally made-up genres. These are all based on my viewing history on netflix, I'm assuming, and possibly any ratings I've left there, which I know I did a bit of when I first signed up for the service. Some of these suggestions make total sense to me but a few of them are a little silly. Like, documentaries specifically about underdogs. I don't remember watching a ton of those, although I do watch a lot of documentaries, but okay! Anyway, here's a list of my suggested genres:

Understated Suspenseful TV Shows
Witty Showbiz TV Shows (They recommended I watch Sports Night. I think that means I have to finally give in.)
Gritty TV Shows Featuring a Strong Female Lead
Visually-striking Psychological Thrillers
Biographical Underdog Documentaries
Mind-Bending Foreign Fantasy
Dark Viral Plague Sci Fi Thrillers
Quirky Independent Buddy Movies
Goofy Fight-the-System Late Night Comedies
Scary Wilderness-survival Action & Adventure


Anyone care to share theirs?

I had one a few months back that was Romantic Period Drama Horror Thrillers based on my love of Romance, Period Drama and Horror movies (have I mentioned my Netfllix account is split between 6 people? Because it is)

Although I'm intrigued by Goofy Fight-the-System Late Night Comedies

Romantic Period Drama Horror Thriller.... the only thing I could think of that might fit that is Sleepy Hollow and that werewolf one with Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt. Though I'm sure there's more! Very curious mesh of genres!

Let me go look up those for you! (If it's still there!)

Goofy Fight-the-System Late Night Comedies:
Revenge of the Nerds, '84
Stir Crazy, '80
The Hollywood Knights, '80
Totally Baked: Unrated, '07
H.O.T.S., '79

I have no idea where these came from. I don't remember watching anything like these films, lol. I thought maybe my high rating for Empire Records or something may have gotten this recced to me. Possibly! But I don't know.
