This is cool. I don't watch so many movies anymore, so there must be many good ones i've missed. Is there a functioning natural language query somewhere?
"I want to watch a science fiction movie that is not a super hero movie. Movies I love are Dark City and Daybreakers. Prioritize movies of short length, nothing more than 2h30. Filter out movies I've already rated, here's my Watchlist"
Wasn’t there a vampire movie maybe fifteen years ago, where the vampires drove fully enclosed cars via camera during the day? Daybreakers?
Isn't this the plot to the movie Daybreakers? True Blood? Morbin' time?
Daybreakers, a subverted vampire film. The film is bad, but good grief is it terrifying that humans have to eat food.
> things you can binge watch for a month?

With self driving cars somewhere in the forseeable future, I wonder if a system like seen in the movie "Daybreakers" is realistic. One where the windshields are blacked out, and video hud allows you to see outside. In that case the windshields could be replaced with a stronger material, and maybe car designs become even more aerodynamic. See also the airplanes that have no windows for passengers.
Yep, the Spierig Brothers are awesome at these kinds of films. I loved their work with Daybreakers.
The film "Daybreakers" did a promotion which used this technique in late 2009. The film's premise is that a vampire virus has swept through humanity, converting most people to vampires and leaving only a few surviving humans. These remaining humans are hunted and captured to provide blood for the rapidly starving vampires.
The ad was a site http://www.capturehumans.com , which pulled your Facebook picture and pictures of your friends. The site then showed a short video on the origins of the vampiric plague, with you as Patient Zero. Your friends showed up as other early vampires or as humans to capture.
The site isn't loading for me now, but this description gives this idea: http://www.movieviral.com/2009/12/15/daybreakers-gets-a-viral-site-that-claims-youre-patient-zero/
