Choose genre or title mode

How the Movie Picker Wheel works
The Movie Picker Wheel can select a genre or an exact title from a watchlist. It makes the final choice only after the group has filtered for availability, runtime, age rating, language, and viewing preferences.
Confirm where films are available
Streaming catalogs change by service and region. Add titles only after checking that the group can access them tonight.
Respect the audience
Filter entries by age rating, language, content boundaries, accessibility options, and available viewing time before the draw.
Practical ways to use the Movie Picker Wheel
Couples, families, friends, film clubs, and solo viewers can use a movie draw to spend less time browsing and more time watching.
Choose a genre first
Spin the default genre list, then select a suitable available title from the winning category.
Draw from a watchlist
Paste one confirmed movie title per line so the result identifies the exact film for the current session.
Run a film club ballot
Let each participant nominate a title, apply the club rules, and remove the winner before selecting a later meeting.
Set up the Movie Picker Wheel
Decide whether the wheel selects a genre or a specific film, then filter the list for the people and time available.
1. Set viewing constraints
Agree on maximum runtime, rating, language, accessibility needs, and which streaming services or physical media are available.
2. Add eligible films
Paste verified titles from the shared watchlist and remove duplicates or movies someone has already ruled out.
3. Spin once and start
Use the winning title, confirm playback availability, and begin. Remove watched films if the list will be reused.
Movie Picker Wheel FAQ
Answers about watchlists, streaming availability, ratings, and group movie choices.
Can the wheel find movies on my streaming services?+
No. It does not read streaming catalogs or accounts. Check current availability in your region, then add the confirmed titles to the wheel before spinning.
How should a family movie list be prepared?+
Set an agreed rating and content boundary, check runtime and language options, and include only films suitable for everyone watching. The wheel cannot assess age suitability on its own.
How are results selected on the Movie Picker Wheel?+
The browser chooses one visible entry with the Web Crypto API before the animation begins. Every visible slice has the same probability. Repeating a label creates another slice, so remove accidental duplicates when each label should have one chance.
How can I save changes to the Movie Picker Wheel?+
Changes save automatically in local browser storage on this device. Use the export control to create a versioned .wheel file when you need a separate backup or want to move the setup to another browser. The site does not use accounts or cloud synchronization.
