How to use the What Movie to Watch
What Movie to Watch settles movie night in one spin. Here's how to pick a mood, use your own watchlist and decide.
Quick start
- Paste tonight's shortlist under My list, or pick a genre if you're open to anything.
- Spin once. Whatever it lands on is tonight's movie.
- Someone vetoes it? Remove & spin again and go with the next pick.
- Hit play before the scrolling starts again.
Pick a genre
Choose Anything, Comedy, Action, Horror, Romance, Family or Sci-Fi to match the mood. Family sticks to films everyone can watch together.
Spin your own watchlist
Everyone's got a list of films they keep meaning to watch. Paste yours under My list and let the wheel decide. Your list is saved on this device.
Click a title in the list to fix a typo or add the year.
Tonight's film
The card says Watch this. Two people, two vetoes? Each veto is a Remove & spin again.
Great for
- Date night
- Family movie night
- Friends who can't agree
- Solo nights when everything looks good
- Choosing from a streaming watchlist
- Weekly movie club decisions

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:
FAQ
What should I watch tonight?
Put a few options on the wheel, from your own shortlist or a genre, and spin.
Can we veto the pick?
Yes. Remove & spin again takes it off the wheel and picks again.
Is my shortlist saved?
Yes, on this device, under My list.
Does it know what's on my streaming service?
