About this generator
Spending an hour scrolling through streaming services only to give up and watch something familiar is a very modern frustration. This random movie picker takes the pressure off by choosing a film for you from a list of well-loved titles across many genres, including animation, comedy, thrillers, science fiction, drama and classics.
Press the button, and whatever appears is tonight's film. Because the list is made up of widely praised films, there's a good chance it will be a hit, and if you've already seen it, you have an excuse to rewatch a favourite. For groups, agree in advance that the first result stands, or give each person a single veto.
To find where to watch the film, search for the title on your usual streaming services or a film-availability website, as what is available changes by country and over time. If you'd like to branch out further, use this as a starting point and look up similar films by the same director or in the same genre.
FAQ
Can I filter by genre?
Not yet. For now, the list contains a mix of genres. Generate again if the result isn't what you're in the mood for.
Does it tell me where to stream the movie?
No. Streaming availability varies by country and changes often, so search for the title on your preferred service.
Are the movies suitable for families?
The list includes family films and adult films, so check the rating before watching with children.
How do I settle disagreements about the result?
Agree on a rule beforehand, such as one veto per person, so the picker settles the question rather than starting a debate.
