It might be hard to know, but try to think of your favorite 50-100 movies before joining this place, and then trying to see where you are at now. Even without message boards, chances are we all grow, anyway, but it could be accelerated here, and getting to know people and their tastes might help us pivot.
I'm sure I have, but maybe not on a large extent. I seem to watch recommendations from those who's tastes are similar to mine on here, and if I see something I haven't seen, I think "Chances are I'll like it". I'm constantly adding to my IMDB watch-list, which has risen to almost 3,000, but there are many I can't distinguish from how or where the recommendations came from. I do note those who have recommended me great movies, and I definitely expedite their suggestions, many times more than my own, since I'm very indecisive lately, and very quick to turn off a movie within 20-30 minutes (like today). I'm easily distracted by the news, this board (lol), and other things.
It just hit me that I do actually seem to watch movies I'd probably never hear of after seeing a review, or even a poster that has a woman who has a peculiar face. I'm thinking of movies made this century, but I notice they're all from outside of the US.
