One shared watchlist your whole group can add to
Film recommendations arrive constantly and then vanish. A friend mentions something at dinner, a trailer turns up in a feed, and by the time you sit down to watch, none of it is anywhere you can find.
One list, everyone adds
A shared watchlist is a single place for the films your group means to watch. Everybody with the link can add to it, so a recommendation survives longer than the conversation it came from.
Invite people without making them register
Share one link and people are in. You control who can add, who can vote and who can change the list, without anyone having to create an account first.
Enough on the card to decide
Each film shows who voted for it, who has already seen it, and whether it can be streamed. You can judge a film without opening it, which is what makes a long list usable.
Keep the discussion with the film
Comments and mentions stay on the film or the night they are about, instead of scrolling away in a group chat above six other conversations.
Nobody has to keep checking the list
An inbox gathers what is waiting on you across every list you are in: invitations, a night that needs an answer, a mention nobody replied to. Beside it, an activity timeline shows what the others did while you were away, so you do not open five lists to find the one thing that changed.
Mail and push notifications are optional and always bundled, so a busy evening on a list is one message rather than twenty, and you are never notified about something you did yourself. Choose near-realtime, a daily summary or a weekly one, and pick which of films, votes, attendance, movie nights, member changes and reviews you want to hear about at all.
Notes that say why a film is on the list
Every film on a list can carry a note: why it is here, who recommended it, what to know before starting it. On a public list those notes are part of what a visitor reads; on a private one they stay with the members. An import can fill them for you, from a feed's descriptions or a notes column in a CSV.
Borrow the notes from a list you curate
If you keep one carefully annotated list, another of your lists can show its notes. Subscribe to it, turn on showing notes, and everyone reading the second list sees them on its film pages, labelled with where they came from. Nothing is copied: no films move, the notes stay in the source list, and editing one there updates every list it appears on at once. Notes can only be shown from a list you own yourself, so being a member of someone else's list never carries the right to republish their writing.
Common questions
Who can see my watchlist?
Only the people you share the link with, unless you deliberately make the list public.
Can I have more than one list?
Yes. Your film club and your flatmates do not have to share one, and a list can be private or public as you choose.
Does it work for two people?
Yes. Couples and pairs of friends use it the same way a larger group does.
Can I bring films in from somewhere else?
Yes. You can import from a CSV file, a public list or an RSS feed, including from Letterboxd and IMDb.
Can we keep a list the kids can look at?
Yes. A list can carry a maximum age rating, and anything above it stays hidden from everyone on that list, imports included. The family list and the horror-night list can live side by side in the same account.
