How these results work
Everything you pick is evidence: moods and genres are yes/no leanings; quality and pedigree picks filter to matches by default — critics and crowd favorites use your chosen RT/IMDb floor, while hidden gems and factual pedigree require a strong match. Not tonight picks hide matching films by default; tap one to soften it to Prefer not. Every hidden film carries the reason.
With an empty profile the list leads with broadly loved crowd-pleasers; cult and arthouse picks only climb when your picks point at them (weird & wonderful, film noir, world cinema, slow-burn…).
Every film carries a rating-band tag, so the kid-safe hard line and the who’s-watching facts gate honestly — nothing R-rated survives a family-night profile.
Scores, RT/IMDb numbers, and award notes are directional, from general film knowledge — verify current numbers on the linked sites before you press play.
Scores, ratings, and award notes are approximate, from general film knowledge — check Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb for current numbers, and check ratings yourself before watching with kids. Streaming availability changes; the links search current services. Quality-bar bands (RT / IMDb / awards) derive from those same approximate figures.
