– highly-rated recommendations
About our recommendations
All our recommendations are above 7/10 IMDb and 70% Rotten Tomatoes at the time of being added. You'll see two types of highly-rated titles:
Handpicked: watched, rated, and reviewed by a human on our team. Every title has at least 7/10 on IMDb and 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. We are 100% independent, not owned by any streaming service or media company.
Out of catalog: movies and shows that meet the same critic-score threshold (7.0+ IMDb, 70%+ Rotten Tomatoes) but have not yet been reviewed by a human. Proceed with caution.
Quick tip: mark movies and shows as "loved", then go here to see other recommendations by the same directors.
Quick tip: filter by "free" to see free movies and shows on ad-supported streaming services.
Use Seen / Queue / Loved / Hide and we'll show you recommendations more suited to your taste.
This is a simple sorting mechanism. We will never use algorithms for picking movies or shows. All our recommendations are highly rated.
