Movie Night Picker

A small tool for the very common movie-night deadlock

Choose one movie without the group-chat spiral.

Create a room, let everyone add titles, and have each person privately rank or veto the shortlist. Reveal when you are ready: one pick, two backups, and a plain-language explanation.

Start a movie room

How it works

Make a room

Add a name and any simple constraints. You get a private link that expires in seven days.

Build the shortlist

Share the link. Everyone can search Wikidata and add up to 30 films without creating an account.

Reveal the answer

Everyone ranks or vetoes privately. The room calculates the best eligible average and keeps two backups ready.

Plan a better movie night

Movie picker for couples

Use private vetoes when you want to be honest about a genre without turning a choice into a negotiation.

Shared movie watchlist

Turn a shared “someday” list into a short, time-boxed decision. The current MVP intentionally keeps rooms temporary.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need accounts?

No. A room uses an unguessable link and each browser receives an anonymous participant token. No name or email is required.

Can people see my vetoes before the reveal?

No. Votes are saved privately and the room only shows the consensus after someone reveals it.

How long does a room last?

Rooms expire automatically after seven days, so old movie-night links do not live forever.
