Export your watch/ed lists, feed it to A.I. and ask it to recommend a movie! What did it recommend? Was it a 5 star movie?

Discussion

First, head to Letterboxd to export your data. It will export as a .zip full of .csv files. You can navigate to Settings (https://letterboxd.com/settings/) then scroll to the bottom and you'll see a button that says: Export Your Data - click that.

After downloading, head to an AI of your choice (I used Claude) and upload at least:

- watched.csv

- watchlist.csv

- ratings.csv

But if you want a more complete picture, add:

- diary.csv

- reviews.csv

- comments.csv

- and any other lists you want to share

Then, ask it to review your data and make a recommendation!

Here's the prompt I gave it:

>Review my watched movies, look at my watched list, pay attention to my recently watched movies and identify the kick that I'm on, and recommend me a movie to watch tonight.

I had to get through a couple of bad recommendations because at first I gave it old data and then it failed to check my actual watch/ed lists correctly, but eventually it had accurate data and recommended I watch:

### The Treasure of the Sierra Madre!

So that's what I'm about to watch! What did it recommend for you? If you watched it, what did you think? Was it a 5 star recommendation?

I'll let you know what I thought of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre in the comments tomorrow.
