Movie recommendation quiz: find what to watch tonight by mood

Stop scrolling streaming home pages. Tell us how you feel right now and we'll hand you a shortlist of real movies — with posters, IMDb ratings, runtimes and where to stream — picked to match the evening you're actually having.

How the movies quiz works

Eight short questions about your mood, the time you have, and the kind of movies experience you want tonight. Each answer translates into a real filter the catalog already accepts — no AI guessing, no invented titles.

What we ask

  • How much energy do you have tonight?
  • How dark are you willing to go — light, in-between or heavy?
  • How long should it be? (under 90 min · 90–120 · 120–150 · no cap)
  • Modern, classic, or anything?
  • Genre lean — drama, thriller, comedy, sci-fi, romance, action…
  • Familiar names or something new?

What you get back

  • 6–10 films per shortlist, with posters and IMDb ratings
  • Where to stream in your region (when TMDB has the data)
  • A one-line note on why each pick fits your mood
  • A 'more like this' button for the next batch

Where the recommendations come from

The movie quiz uses TMDB (The Movie Database) for catalog data, posters and streaming provider info, and OMDb for IMDb ratings. We don't store your answers, and we don't use a large language model to invent titles — every pick is a real entry in TMDB's catalog.

Frequently asked questions

How does the movie recommendation quiz work?

Eight quick questions about your mood, energy, tone preference and runtime. Your answers map to TMDB filters — genres, keywords, era, vote-average — and we return 6–10 films that match, with posters, IMDb ratings (via OMDb) and where to stream.

Is the movie quiz free?

Yes. Free, anonymous, no account needed, and no tracking on individuals.

Can I get movie suggestions for tonight specifically?

Yes — that's what the runtime and energy questions are for. Pick 'under 100 minutes' and 'tired' and you'll get a different shortlist than 'no cap' and 'energised'.
