Looking for a genre gem? No idea which film is suitable for a date? These sites and apps offer suggestions.
Searching for a movie or series can be really tiring. The streaming landscape with all its providers is confusing and how should users know which content is worthwhile? Fortunately, there are numerous apps and websites where series and film fans can get suitable suggestions. Here is a selection of six possible helpers.
Just look
An alternative is about “JustWatch”. On the one hand, the service offers the possibility of searching specifically for productions on the Internet and as an iOS and Android app. In just a few seconds, users can find out from which provider they can stream, rent or buy a specific series or film. On the other hand, there are also countless suggestions for other titles. If users indicate productions that they liked, they will also receive recommendations that are better tailored to their own taste.
Also the competitors “werstreamt.es” is available for the browser and as an app. Users can also find out here which services offer a film or series. They can also find similar content at the bottom of a title that they might also like.
“Letterboxed” meanwhile sees itself as a social network for film lovers. On the web and via the app, users can keep track of the films they have already seen, rate them, write reviews, follow friends and more. Among other things, it is possible to find content that could be just right for the next movie night via curated lists, popular films or reviews.
Tinder for movies
The service “Button” takes a similar approach to Tinder in its Android and iOS app. Users get suggestions and can swipe left or right. With a swipe to the right, the suggestion moves to your own watch list, with a swipe to the left, it is rejected. The suggestions displayed are also based on the user’s previous ratings.
the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is probably the most comprehensive internet library on the world of films, series and actors. Here, too, enthusiasts can find countless lists, popular productions, editorial recommendations and more on the web and via app. In addition to all sorts of other content and information, there is also a “More like this” category on the subpages of films and series, in which similar titles are displayed.
On the Reddit portal, for which there are also apps, users can exchange ideas about everything and everything in thousands of smaller communities – including about series and films. These include so-called subreddits such as “r/MovieSuggestions”, where users can ask other users for recommendations. Also helpful: If you are looking for a specific film or series and can remember the details or scenes but not the name, you can go to “r/tipofmytongue” to ask.
