When you call up a film on IMDB now, it gives 5 recommendations with the words "If you enjoyed this title, our database also recommends..."

I called up "Citizen Kane" and one of the 5 recommendations was "Batman".

Tell us about other weird recommendations here!

I checked a few, and yes, they are strange. Click on Chicago (the musical) brought me recommendations to L.A. Confidential and Valley of the Dolls!

And apparently if you liked West Side Story you should try Kill Bill Volume 1.
