Netflix teamed up with The New York Times to produce this interactive map of the most popular movies in 12 major U.S. cities.

The map ranks the most rented movie and TV rentals for each zip code, so you can see whether the folks in your neighborhood have the same tastes as you do.

You can also see a color-coded overlay of every city for each of Netflix's top 100 most-rented films in 2009. Do you want to know which New York borough appreciated Slumdog Millionaire the most? Looks like it's bigger in Brooklyn than in lower Manhattan. The sharp divisions for some items — like the austere and thoughtful TV series Mad Men — are very telling, but Brad Pitt's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is red hot just about everywhere.

You can make some interesting anecdotal deductions using the map. For example, noted film critic Roger Ebert tweeted that you could make educated guesses about a community's opinion on homosexuality based on where Milk ranks. Hardly scientific, but it's interesting to think about. You can probably find a correlation between number of teen girls in a neighborhood and how popular Twilight is, though you'll unfortunately need a different map tell you who's Team Edward and who's Team Jacob.
