Here is my take Ernest (but I’d drop Jack a PM to get the real answer):
A question that asks for favorites is a poll (this would include your desert island type questions). For example, “What are the 10 best Westerns?”, or “Who are your five favorite directors?”
A question that asks for movie recommendations goes into the ‘movie’ area. For example, “I just saw High Noon and really liked it—will someone recommend some similar movies?”
Questions about specific DVDs go in the ‘software’ area.
Of course the difference between the first two question types is often subtle and perhaps the moderator’s decision on the day might be arbitrary, but why would you (or anyone) care?
