About MovieDisco

MovieDisco is a free movie recommendation tool built on top of Letterboxd. It solves a problem every film lover knows: you and your friends all have different taste, and picking a movie everyone will enjoy feels impossible.

Enter your Letterboxd username and MovieDisco reads your ratings and watch history to recommend films you haven't seen yet. Add friends and it scores every film for each person, then ranks highest the films that score well for everyone, not just the ones one person loves.

How it works

  1. 1. Start with your profile — Enter your Letterboxd username to get your own recommendations.
  2. 2. Add the people watching — Optionally add up to 9 friends' Letterboxd usernames to get picks for everyone.
  3. 3. Get recommendations — Our algorithm compares everyone's taste and suggests films optimized for the whole group.

Built by Daniel Carlander

I built MovieDisco because my friends and I kept spending more time arguing about what to watch than actually watching movies. Existing recommendation tools are designed for individuals — I wanted something that takes the whole group into account.

MovieDisco started as a weekend project and grew into a full web app and iOS app used by thousands of film lovers around the world.
