    I’m interested in hearing ideas from movielens users on how we might operationalize these features.

    As far as similarities go, there'd be 'binary' similarity vs. 'interpretive' similarity. It would be relatively trivial, I'd think, to scrape online data for 'binary' categories like name of a director, actor, script writer, etc. and limit the results to matches. Hence, binary. Either the movies have the same director or they don't. The 'interpretive' similarities need more thought - and the results would be more like the visualization technique over here: http://www.movie-map.com/brazil.html ... for example, if you could scrape online data and add the movie's setting to the database, then the closest movies would be those set in the same place, the next closest would be those set in the next level of the setting heirarchy, i.e. Paris, France, Europe...
