This movie didn't take my fancy so I am not going to recommend it.
--- Is "take my fancy" OK here, or maybe some other phrase would be more appropriate?
To me, "This movie didn't take my fancy" sounds as if you have been looking through the movie listings/reviews and decided that you didn't want to go and see it. On the other hand, "I am not going to recommend it" sounds as if you have already seen it. Which situation applies in your case?
