How to get better Recommendations:
Rate the things where you are different. This is your strongest filter. It is valuable and rare to find the person (your twin) who shares your uniquness which happens to be contrary to the average opinion. This person is the best candidate to warn you next time there is a blockbuster movie, or a highly awarded movie which you wont like because it has something about it, some attributes or characteristics, that the two of you hate but people in general love (and therefore: you are in great "danger" of wasting your time on). Equally, this person will be able to find that hidden movie you are likely to love but otherwise wouldn't have heard of since people in general don't like it.
Rate the things you are passionate about. If you don't really have an opinion (your rating is 2-3 stars) you will be matched with a twin who also doesn't really have an opinion. Its just not very helpful for recommendations. You can still rate things 2 or 3 stars, just make sure to include the extremes as well in your rating.
Don't forget to rate the things you hate. You will be matched with twins who share your "hate" preferences, not just love. They can tell you which movies you should stay away from, a very important but often overlooked aspect of recommendations.
Don't forget to click on Evil Recs. These will tell you what things to stay away from. They are things your Top Twins hate and you haven't yet experienced.
What can you do with the lists? If you have rated many things on TellmeTwin you can seperate them by creating lists. Just click on "Base Results on Specific Pages" and create a list for example with your top 5 comedies. Then you can find twins only for these 5 movies and get recommendations based only on these twins.
