I manage a small library and I rec books easily with years if experience. And I love and collect all kinds of music so recommending CDs/artists - no problem.

But movies...

My tastes run to b/w classics and I just enjoy so few contemporary (2000+) movies. Plus I am way highly critical of comedy, especially and have not really found a funny movie since "Young Frankenstein" - I have to roar all the way through or forget it.

I have seen every movie on the AFI top one hundred but my library system acquires all of the current movies and so few excite me - the last exciting movie I saw was "Memento"... so I like having other people's insights to fall back on to help me along.

So much of library service is getting people to leave the building with something they at least think they want...

So thanks ; )
