How to use the Movie Wheel
The Movie Wheel picks tonight's film from a genre list or your own watchlist. Here's how to use both.
Quick start
- Use My list: paste your movies, one per line, or type them in one at a time.
- Or start from a genre list: Mixed, Comedy, Action, Horror, Romance, Family or Sci-Fi.
- Spin. The wheel picks one movie at random before it starts turning.
- Remove & spin again takes that movie off the wheel and picks another.
Pick a genre
Choose Mixed, Comedy, Action, Horror, Romance, Family or Sci-Fi. Each list holds well-known films, so there's always something worth watching.
Spin your own watchlist
Press My list and paste your watchlist, one title per line. It's saved on this device, and loading a genre list never erases it.
Click a title in the list to fix a typo or add the year.
Tonight's film
The card shows the movie pick. Already seen it? Remove & spin again rules it out and picks again.
Great for
- Picking from a long watchlist
- Movie marathon running order
- Film club picks
- Choosing a movie for a sleepover
- Random movie challenges
- Rewatching old favourites
Customize everything else
This page uses the same wheel as the homepage, so all the usual options work here too. The full wheel guide explains each one with pictures:

Does it show posters, ratings or where to stream?
No. It's a simple picker: list, spin, movie.
How do I stop a movie coming up again?
Press Remove & spin again after it's picked.
