We only have so much time left, so why waste your time watching bad movies? What if there was a way to pick your next movie to watch from a list of the best movies ever? And what if you could filter that list to reflect your personal preferences? Using data from IMDB and some proprietary algorithms to come up with final rankings, a list of the best movies ever is presented. Daily cron jobs keep the data fresh. Dynamic filtering allows you to find hidden gems, mark movies as seen, and add them to a watchlist. Movies on your favorite streaming services are a click away.
