The sorting list by rating is not very accurate. Also the MovieExplorer includes movies you've already rated (thus seen)

I find the MovieExplorer to be pretty useless. In the list of movies most of the time I haven't seen a lot of them and the ones that I have seen I'm not necessarily interesting in watching a similar movie to that right now.
Maybe if it only gave me movies I've rated and then gave me recommendations it'd be more useful but I think even that would be too cumbersome.
What I would prefer would be an option where you could input a minimum number of movies, probably at least five, and ask for similar movies. I would enjoy seeing how this would work with your "tag genome" there are times where I'll look at similar movies, which I assume are heavily based on the "tag genome", and think I get why these movies are similar but I don't want to watch any of them. But I think if I put these five movies I like together maybe I could get interesting recommendations.
