There are some *similar* attempts, http://www.myfilms.com being one (although it looks to me to be an expensive, unfocussed disaster). I guess the thing with film is that it’s much harder to scrobble with zero data entry on the part of the user (going to the cinema), and therefore much harder to build up a profile of useful data. Not only that, but listening to an album is tacit approval, but watching a film is not (always). Therefore you’d have to collect more data about a person’s reaction to a film.
I wonder if this might link in with my cinema economics experiment somehow…..

There is of course the My Movies list on IMDB, where all the movies you rate end up on one page. One could write a script to parse that list and store changes with a timestamp in a file/database.
That said, Ben has a good point when it comes to applications that rely on zero data entry…
