What Movie Should I Watch Tonight?
Choose a genre and click Pick a movie. You get a well-loved film with its year, such as Inception (2010) or 3 Idiots (2009). Choose 3 or 5 to get a shortlist and vote as a group, or choose Any genre for a total surprise.
Scrolling through streaming apps can take longer than the movie itself. A random movie picker ends the debate and helps you discover classics you have missed. The list includes popular Hollywood films, Bollywood favourites, anime and international hits across nine genres.
Movies are picked on your own device. Every result uses your browser’s secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), and nothing you type is sent to Teasoft.
