Always in the 'you might also like' movies?


Is it just me, or does it seem that this movie is ALWAYS in the 5 movies or whatever that is at the bottom of the page for each movie for "viewers might also like" or whatever? I don't know who's trying to get this movie publicity but i swear it shows up for almost every single movie or at least every action movie ever made.

That's hilarious. That's exactly what brought me here. A friend of mine mentioned it was always showing up for him and I realized after a week or two that the same thing was happening to me.

reply

Yea I agree, particularly because Ive seen it in the recommendations while rating a kung fu flick :/ (no lie)

So glad it happens to someone else, I was just on "The Elephant Man" and it thought I might also like this? Maybe Kiefer has money invested in IMDB?

That's slightly absurd.

I was also browsing the elephant man and this came up at the bottom...But not only the elephant man, but atleast 20+ other titles result in this film and I'm starting to think whether I should watch it... :s

reply

that's how I found it too. Was on the Me, Myself and Irene page and saw it. Gonna go watch it now that my curiousity is peeked.

yeah after all i've seen, i almost start to believe there's some kind of conspiracy behind "Freeway". it must be IMDb-sponsored or what

what the hell, they reccomend this on the pages of totally different kind of movies and tv series. they have nothing to do with each other. i'm waiting when it'll appear under Det sjunde inseglet and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2

btw The Basketball Diaries are like Freeway too. reccomended everywhere. noticed?

reply

Yeah, I see Basketball Diaries listed a lot too. Some others that get suggested ALL THE TIME for seemingly no good reason:

The Best of Youth

Basic Instict
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103772/

Deep Red

Nowhere

Boy A

King of the Rocket Men

Radar Patrol vs. Spy King

The Galloping Ghost
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021895/

The Kite Runner
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419887/

I also remember a time when everywhere I looked there was a recommendation for something called 'City of Shoulders and Noses', but that doesn't happen at all anymore.

A lot of strange things happen in this world. Things you don't know about in Grand Rapids.

watched this for the same reason, but at least I enjoyed Freeway.
I see that basketball Diaries is added to my watchlist too, I wonder where I got it from lol

reply

Totally agree with The Basketball Diaries. I also see Boy A and The Best of Youth a lot too.

Edit: I'm adding Giant.

I hate seeing Freeway on every other movie recommendation, and I would be surprised if it was reccomended on it's own page.

reply

YES !
I just came here for that exact reason !
This film is all over the imdb, it doesn't matter what film page you're on, you'll find Freeway.





Elvira mistress of the dark is the coolest woman ever.
DCI Gene Hunt (UK) coolest man ever.

reply

I agree with the OP, I came in here because of that reason, DAMN im sick of this movie

reply

You are right and it is surprising since IMDB is an Amazon website, they should use the same process for recommending stuff.

reply

It's either bug or hidden commercial.

reply

Lol what a coincidence, after seeing this recommended a thousand times on IMDb I finally watched it. Decent entertainment, certainly nothing special, a bit of a let down after all that. :P
