Netflix's site is pretty good. Since they only deal with DVDs you don't have all the clutter that Amazon has, where they will recommend a 28' ladder because the last person that got the movie you are browsing bought one.
The recommendations seem pretty good for me when it recommends movies. The more you rate, the better it gets. They've also added the ability to rate genres, which is nice. I like that I don't get too many suggestions either. I've rated ~2000 movies, and only have about 25 reccomendations, so they are pretty selective.
My two main complaints of Netflix's site are:
Limited search: I'd like the ability to do an advanced search where I can specify the year of release, studio, actor, genre, director, or any combination.
The queue page: It's way too clunky to manage when it gets large. But now you can use the Netflix Queue Manager, which solves that problem.
