What is it
agoodmovietowatch suggests “highly-rated, but little-known” movies.
This website is your gateway to amazing titles on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Why highly-rated and little-known
We believe that looking for something to watch almost always translates to looking for something you haven’t yet seen, which you will love. To us, that is equivalent to highly-rated (will love it), but little-known (haven’t seen it).
Our movies and shows all hold a viewer score higher than 70% (7/10 on IMDb for example) and at the same time a critic score higher than 70% (on Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, etc).
We also hunt down movies that didn’t make a huge splash at the box office, or little-watched shows. That’s how we calculate our little-known criteria.
Why no algorithms
Netflix’s algorithm is a corporate algorithm. This means that it’s more interested in selling you new titles that Netflix spent money on rather than recommending what’s actually good.
Not to mention, recommendation algorithms suggest content based on your past viewing. This means that you’ll rarely get exposed to new things outside of your pallet. Call us old school, but we believe that being challenged by something new is better than being told what to watch by a biased corporate robot.
We don’t use an algorithm and never will. agoodmovietowatch is 100% human-curated. If you see it here, we’ve watched it and completely vouch for it.
