In 1955 Leonard D. Bullock and John V. Sparks created their FilmBSEM-I. It contained 100 vacuum tubes, performed 1 search operation per second and weighed 1000 lb. In 1957 FilmBSEM-I was finalized, named Filmillion and installed in a cinema. Now, for a modest fee, movie enthusiasts could entertain themselves by making the machine guess the movie.
Now there's Filmillion online. Think about a movie. Answer up to 30 questions and Filmillion will guess the movie.

It didn't recognize my answers for "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
It didn't guess True Grit (1969) or Casablanca. It had Casablanca in its list, but not True Grit.
It's a cool idea, though. I guess that it will be better when it gets more movies in its database. Some of the questions were weird. "Was it well planned out?" Well, I would hope any movie would be well planned out. Another question was "Did you enjoy acting in it?" How would I know if the actors enjoyed acting in it?
Guessed the Titanic and the Avatar though...
Does it take forever between questions for anyone else? It's like a slot machine that spins for 2 minutes at a time.
