It would need to work like the Music Genome Project (http://www.pandora.com/) only for Movies. Throw in some web 2.0 graphics and digital downloading and you've got a nice pay per view label that could compete with the fancy algorithims that Netflix have. More then likely though, they'll introduce it to their Media Centers as an extra feature. Microsoft's answer to TiVo's Suggestions if you will. For some reason though I remember TiVo having a patent for suggestions. MovieScout has a nice ring to it, I bet that’s a brand Softie could sell.
