Pick a movie with friends, minus the argument

• Shortlist first, then vote

  Debating titles one at a time is why picking takes forever. Gather four to six contenders and put them up all at once. Everyone votes in a couple of minutes and the group has its answer.

• Everyone gets an equal say

  The quiet friend's vote counts as much as the loudest one's. People vote on their own phones instead of out loud, so nobody gets talked out of their pick.

• Stuck on the shortlist too?

  Start from a ready-made list: what's trending on your streaming services, a genre's top-rated films, or a theme like date night or family movie night. Or describe the vibe and the AI Curator builds the shortlist for you.

FAQ

What's the fairest way for a group to pick a movie?

Shortlist a handful of films and have everyone vote at the same time. Voting separately avoids the pile-on where the first strong opinion wins, and the result is one the whole group agreed to.

What if the group is split down the middle?

Let people vote for more than one film. The movie the most people are happy with wins, rather than the favourite of whichever side is bigger.

Does it work if we're not in the same room?

Yes. The poll lives at a link, so people can vote from anywhere: the day before, on the way over, or during a watch-party call.

Is there a swipe mode, like Tinder for movies?

No. Movie Night Polls is built for voting on a shortlist, which works best for groups of three or more. For two people swiping through recommendations, a swipe app may suit you better.

• Describe the vibe, get a movie poll

  Don't stare at a blank poll. Tell the AI Curator what kind of night it is — 'cozy 90s rom-coms', 'movies everyone's already seen', 'under two hours and not sad' — and get a hand-shaped shortlist ready to vote on.

• The movie voting app nobody has to download

  Your group votes from the link you send, right from the group chat, on any phone or laptop. Posters, trailers and where each film is streaming are on the ballot.

• Random movie picker: spin for your next movie night

  Narrow it to a genre or a streaming service and spin. Keep the ones that look good, then turn the shortlist into a quick vote for your group.
