why in the world the recommended movie for Kind Hearts and Coronets is the Godfather Trilogy? Sure I can she the connection but come on. There are so many more logical recommendations. Even Dr. Strangelove would be a better reccomendation. At least it is black comedy.

The recommendations are probably generated by keywords. In this case it's probably something like family, murder, blackmail, deceit, assassination.
It probably isn't the best for sublety.
Those keywords sound like a solid theory. I'd hasard a guess at something like "cinematic classic," also being something of a trigger.
Randy "Macho Man" Savage - The best ever
I think another way that the reccomendations are tabulated is other movies that fan's of Kind Hearts and Coronets have rated highly. Many people give The Godfather Trilogy a high rating and as such it appears very frequently in the reccomendations for all kinds of movies.

That's precisely it - murders & family are the common denominators.
But, other than the very broad connections of murders and family, these movies are clearly nothing like each other. That's a horrible and really lame auto-recommendation!
So, what is a good recommendation to someone who likes "Kind Hearts and Coronets"?? I was thinking that maybe "The Picture of Dorian Gray" would fit, or ****maybe**** "Sweeney Todd". Reaching a little further out on the limb, how about "After the Thin Man"? or even "Night and the City"?

My attempt to list the best movies of all-time: http://www.themoviecanon.blogspot.com
There's the "Lavendar Hill Mob", also starring Guinness and made by Ealing.
It's not well-known nowadays, but I saw a hilarious one called "The Belles of St. Trinians", about some "proper" English boarding-school girls who secretly operate a crime syndicate from their school. (The much-put-upon headmistress is played by Alistair Sims in drag)
