While we're talking movies etc - did anyone else have a stab at the Netflix prize using Lucene? ( http://www.netflixprize.com/ )
I did get onto the leaderboard (briefly) using a Lucene-based solution which involved loading all 100 million movie reviews into a single RAMDirectory for fast processing/analysis. I found the user/movie rating matrix could be represented in a very compact form by (ab)using Lucene position info for rating values.
