Movie Genre Wheel

Movie night, settled.

Or drag a screenshot or file onto this box, or paste a screenshot with Cmd+V / Ctrl+V. Names are read on your device and never uploaded.

Each picture becomes a slice, named after the file (e.g. ana.jpg → Ana). Pictures stay on this device and aren’t included in share links.

Tip: add *3 after an entry (e.g. "Pizza *3") to make it three times as likely.

About the movie genre wheel

Spending longer scrolling than watching? Spin the movie genre wheel to narrow it down, then pick the first good title in that genre. It works for family movie night, date night, or a friends’ watch party where nobody can agree.

Ways to use it

  • Settle movie night quickly: spin the genre, then pick one title.
  • Genre challenge: watch one movie from every slice this month.
  • Pick a theme for a movie marathon or watch party.
