Movie Recommendations
Personally, I have never come across a video store clerk that recommended movies for me. But there is one person whose taste and opinion has shaped my movie-watching experience: Mr Roger Ebert.
Nowadays, after I watched an 'old' movie, I will still go to Ebert's website to find out his opinions.
