Just got a tremendous result from Ai. I keep a diary of all the new films I watch (at Letterboxd), with a rating. I got ChatGPT to work out from this what I tend to like/dislike, and of course what I've seen. Then I got it to recommend half a dozen well-loved 2026 releases that I've missed out on.

FYI it suggested: 1. The Weight — "probably the strongest match of all." 2. Night & Day — "period drama + romantic comedy, and especially relevant as you liked Sense and Sensibility." 3. The Christophers — "intelligent, accessible grown-up cinema." (more)

(contd) 4. Heart of the Beast — "your best bet for straightforward action/adventure." 5. Hoppers — "your best unseen mainstream SF bet." 6. The Marching Band — "not in English, but the critic/audience agreement is exceptional."

With all the justified negativity around Ai, this is one thing that it's great at – doing a load of online research that it'd take hours to do yourself, and which you wouldn't do because it wasn't worth the time. And then giving you something to think about, and make a judgement on yourself.
