Tired of never finding the right movie?

What we offer

  • One movie or show at a time, and why it suits you.

  • Ranked from your own preferences, not general popularity.

  • Only what you can watch tonight, on the services you have.

How it works

Two minutes of setup,
then it decides for you.

Set the profile once. After that a good recommendation is one tap away, at any hour, on whatever you are subscribed to.

  1. Say where you watch.

    Your services, your country. It never picks something you would have to rent, and it never asks for your streaming logins.

  2. Rate twenty movies.

    Loved, seen, or skip. Two minutes of tapping, and it never asks about a movie you have not seen.

  3. Ask any time.

    It picks one, says why, and tells you where it is streaming. Swipe left for the next. Tonight is the habit, not the limit.

Features

Some of what it does.

A few of the screens people use most. Three that decide for you, three that keep track.

Three features that decide.

Ask at any hour and one movie or show comes back, with the reason and the service it is on.

The Tonight screen, showing a single movie with the reason it was picked and where it is streaming
Tonight

One pick, decided.

Open it and a movie or show is waiting, with why it suits you and where it is streaming. Swipe left for the next.

The services screen, with Netflix, MUBI, Criterion and HBO Max selected
Your services

Only what you can watch.

Pick your services once. Nothing you would have to rent shows up again unless you ask.

The Double Feature screen, pairing one movie with the movie to watch after it
Double Feature

Name a movie you love.

It finds the one to watch after it. Not the sequel, which is usually a flat evening.

Three that keep track.

Your taste profile, the movies and shows you meant to watch, and the evenings there are two of you.

Two-person mode, showing the taste overlap between two people and the movie picked for both
Two person mode

Neither of you settles.

It reads both tastes and picks something you can both stream. No proposing, no vetoing.

The Filmatic 100, a ranked list of movies with directors and years
The Filmatic 100

A hundred worth the night.

Ranked, and yours to tick off. For when you want to browse on purpose.

The watchlist screen, filtered by saved, loved, seen and skipped movies
Watchlist

Finally a list you use.

Everything you saved, sorted by what you can watch now. It flags what is about to leave.

Double Feature

Name a movie you love and Filmatic returns the one to watch after it. Working right here. In the app it runs on any movie, rather than these seven examples.

Choose a movie you love
Spider-Man: Brand New Day poster
You picked

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026, Destin Daniel Cretton

The world forgot he existed, and he has spent four years watching his friends get on without him.

Unbreakable poster
Watch this after

Unbreakable

2000, M. Night Shyamalan

A man walks out of a train crash without a scratch and slowly works out what that makes him.

Why it worksTwo movies about carrying something nobody around you knows about. The loud one asks what it costs to be unknown, then the quiet one shows a man finding out what he is with nobody watching.
Project Hail Mary poster
You picked

Project Hail Mary

2026, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller

A teacher wakes alone on a spacecraft with no memory of how he got there and a sun to save.

Solaris poster
Watch this after

Solaris

2002, Steven Soderbergh

A psychologist reaches a station orbiting a planet that answers him with the wife he lost.

Why it worksBoth strand one man in orbit and treat the science as the smaller problem. Hail Mary is the pleasure of solving it. Solaris is the part where being that far from anyone starts working on you.
Interstellar poster
You picked

Interstellar

2014, Christopher Nolan

A father leaves the planet to save it, and loses the years instead.

Arrival poster
Watch this after

Arrival

2016, Denis Villeneuve

First contact solved by a linguist rather than a fleet, and the answer turns out to be about time.

Why it worksTwo movies where the science fiction is a way of talking about knowing how it ends and choosing it anyway. Interstellar first, because Arrival lands harder once you have already paid for the idea.
Good Will Hunting poster
You picked

Good Will Hunting

1997, Gus Van Sant

A janitor at MIT can solve anything except the reason he keeps blowing up his own life.

A Beautiful Mind poster
Watch this after

A Beautiful Mind

2001, Ron Howard

A mathematician at Princeton whose brilliance and his illness arrive in the same package.

Why it worksTwo movies about a mind everyone wants a piece of and the person underneath it who needs something else. Both are really about being helped, which is harder to accept than it sounds.
The Dark Knight poster
You picked

The Dark Knight

2008, Christopher Nolan

A crime epic wearing a cape, and the best villain the genre has managed.

Logan poster
Watch this after

Logan

2017, James Mangold

The same genre twenty years on, in the body of a man who has run out of chances.

Why it worksTwo comic book movies that refuse the ending the genre owes you. One is a crime saga and one is a western, and neither lets the hero win the way you want him to.
The Devil Wears Prada poster
You picked

The Devil Wears Prada

2006, David Frankel

She takes the job a million girls would kill for and finds out what the job charges.

Legally Blonde poster
Watch this after

Legally Blonde

2001, Robert Luketic

Written off as decoration, she gets into Harvard Law out of spite and stays there on merit.

Why it worksTwo movies about a woman underestimated in a room that runs on how she looks. Prada earns it by nearly becoming the thing. Watch them in this order and the second one plays like a rescue.
Spirited Away poster
You picked

Spirited Away

2001, Hayao Miyazaki

A sulky ten year old loses her name and has to work in a bathhouse for spirits to win it back.

The Boy and the Heron poster
Watch this after

The Boy and the Heron

2023, Hayao Miyazaki

The same director at the end of a career, sending another child somewhere impossible with far less explanation.

Why it worksThe movie of his everybody has seen, followed by the one he made last. Spirited Away teaches you the rules as it goes. The Heron trusts that you no longer need them.

Why trust it

Your taste,
and nothing else.

The recommendation answers to your taste profile and nothing else.

  • We never sell data that identifies you

    Your ratings and lists are yours. Export or delete them from inside the app whenever you like, and we do not sell them or hand them to advertisers or data brokers.

  • Built by people who watch too many movies

    We got tired of the twenty minute scroll. This is what we built for ourselves.

Availability comes from Watchmode and changes often. Poster artwork belongs to the respective rights holders.

Already use Letterboxd?

Letterboxd remembers what you watched.Filmatic decides what is next.

Different jobs. Letterboxd is a diary, and a very good one. It was never meant to tell you what to put on tonight. Use both.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do you sell my data?

We never sell data that identifies you, and we do not hand it to advertisers or data brokers. We do build aggregated statistics and models from how people use Filmatic in general, and we own those, because once data is aggregated it cannot be traced back to any individual. Your own ratings and lists stay yours to export or delete.

Is Filmatic on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Filmatic is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. It also runs in any web browser at app.filmatic.io, so you can use it on a laptop without installing anything.

Do I have to wait until the evening?

No. A nightly pick is the habit most people fall into, but you can ask for a recommendation at any hour. The taste profile is the product, and it answers whenever you open the app.

What is Double Feature?

Name a movie you love and Filmatic returns the movie to watch after it, with a short note on why the two belong together. Browse the pairings by director, mood or era.

How is this different from Letterboxd?

Letterboxd is a diary and a social network, and it is very good at recording what you have already watched. Filmatic does the opposite job and works out what you watch next. Plenty of people use both.

How does Filmatic learn what I like?

Every rating updates a model of your taste held against your account. Recommendations come from that model, not from what is trending or what a streaming service wants pushed. You can reset it any time under Profile, then Your data.

Does it tell me where a movie or show is streaming?

Yes. Filmatic shows which services carry a movie or show in your country, so you go straight to it instead of checking five apps. Availability comes from Watchmode and changes often.

Do I need to connect a streaming account?

No. Filmatic never asks for your Netflix, Prime or Disney+ login and reads nothing from your streaming accounts. You tell it which services you have, and it filters picks to those.

Can I delete my account and my data?

Yes, from inside the app under Profile, then Your data, without emailing anyone. It removes your account, your ratings, your lists and your taste profile, and you can email yourself a copy first. A little survives on purpose: anonymised statistics that can no longer be linked to you, and a one-way hash of your email address so the deletion is actually honoured. The deletion page lists all of it.

Tonight

Just watch
something good.

Two minutes to set up, then ask it whenever you want, and it answers with one movie or show you can actually stream.
