Systems and methods for providing custom movie lists

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing movie lists of available media content are provided. The movies included in the movie lists may be of particular interest to the user and may be derived from active user monitoring, editorial ratings information, user movie viewing preferences, network statistics, third-party activity ratings, and other user-derived or system-derived criteria. A user who is in need of media guidance may access a movie list and perform any suitable media guidance application function on any movie or movies in the movie list. The movie lists may be dynamically updated so that an up-to-date list is always available at any given moment. Movie recommendations, including movie gifts and the actual movie itself, may be sent to other users in the media system.

         35 . A method for enhanced movie media guidance on a user equipment device, the method comprising:
 storing a plurality of user profiles at a user equipment device, wherein each user profile is associated with a different user and each user profile comprises at least one movie viewing preference;   automatically determining which users are currently watching the user equipment device;   accessing media guidance application data associated with a plurality of movies, the plurality of movies comprising movies either currently accessible by the user equipment device or accessible by the user equipment device within some predetermined length of time;   comparing at least a portion of media guidance application data with the movie viewing preferences of each user currently watching the user equipment device; and   displaying an interactive list of movie recommendations based, at least in part, on the comparison.   
     
     
         36 . The method of  claim 35  wherein automatically determining which users are currently watching the user equipment device comprises interrogating at least one passive RFID tag associated with a user watching the user equipment device. 
     
     
         37 . The method of  claim 36  wherein the at least one passive RFID tag comprises at least one subdermally implantable RFID tag. 
     
     
         38 . The method of  claim 35  wherein automatically determining which users are currently watching the user equipment device comprises reading at least one active RFID tag associated with a user watching the user equipment device. 
     
     
         39 . The method of  claim 35  wherein automatically determining which users are currently watching the user equipment device comprises discovering a Bluetooth network address or device name of a Bluetooth enabled device associated with a user watching the user equipment device. 
     
     
         40 . The method of  claim 39  further comprising:
 establishing a Bluetooth connection with the Bluetooth enabled device; and 
 transferring a user profile to the user equipment device. 
 
     
     
         41 . The method of  claim 35  wherein automatically determining which users are currently watching the user equipment device comprises automatically establishing a wireless connection with a wireless device associated with a user watching the user equipment device. 
     
     
         42 - 75 . (canceled) 
     
     
         76 . A system for enhanced movie media guidance on a user equipment device, the system comprising:
 a display device;   memory to store a plurality of user profiles, wherein each user profile is associated with a different user and each user profile comprises at least one movie viewing preference; and   control circuitry configured to:   automatically determine which users are currently watching the user equipment device;   access media guidance application data associated with a plurality of movies, the plurality of movies comprising movies either currently accessible by the user equipment device or accessible by the user equipment device within some predetermined length of time;   compare at least a portion of media guidance application data with the movie viewing preferences of each user currently watching the user equipment device; and   display, on the display device, an interactive list of movie recommendations based, at least in part, on the comparison.   
     
     
         77 . The system of  claim 76  further comprising at least one passive RFID tag associated with a user watching the user equipment device, wherein the control circuitry is configured to automatically determine which users are currently watching the user equipment device by interrogating the at least one passive RFID tag. 
     
     
         78 . The system of  claim 77  wherein the at least one passive RFID tag comprises at least one subdermally implantable RFID tag. 
     
     
         79 . The system of  claim 76  further comprising at least one active RFID tag associated with a user watching the user equipment device, wherein the control circuitry is configured to automatically determine which users are currently watching the user equipment device by reading the at least one active RFID tag. 
     
     
         80 . The system of  claim 76  further comprising at least one Bluetooth enabled device associated with a user watching the user equipment device, wherein the control circuitry is configured to automatically determine which users are currently watching the user equipment device by discovering a Bluetooth network address or device name of the at least one Bluetooth enabled device. 
     
     
         81 . The system of  claim 80  wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
 establish a Bluetooth connection with the Bluetooth enabled device; and 
 transfer a user profile from the Bluetooth enabled device to the user equipment device. 
 
     
     
         82 . The system of  claim 76  further comprising at least one wireless device associated with a user watching the user equipment device, wherein the control circuitry is configured to automatically determine which users are currently watching the user equipment device by automatically establishing a wireless connection with the at least one wireless device.
