About How to Movie: What to Watch
Know how you'll feel about a film before you press play. How to Movie predicts how you will rate a film, using a personal model trained only on your own ratings, never the crowd's average. Rate what you have seen, and every film on your watchlist gets a verdict calibrated to how you actually rate: Risky, Good, or Great. Not a generic 7.5. A model that is only about you Recent favorites count for more, so predictions keep pace with how your taste actually shifts. What you'll skip is learned from every film you have ever rated; what you'll love, from your recent taste, because that is the half that ages. Your Taste Profile See who you are as a viewer: your signature genre combinations, the people driving your recent taste, where your taste is heading lately, and where you disagree with the crowd. A watchlist that earns its place Every film on it already has a verdict. Filter by decade or release year, see what is out now, and let Deep Pulls draw six films you had forgotten you added. Widgets, on both screens Five of them. Next Up keeps the film you are most likely to love one tap away, and can be pinned to only the ones it calls Great. New Trailers shows what has just landed for the films you are waiting on. Coming Soon counts down to the watchlist films that are not out yet. Insight puts what the app has noticed about your taste on your Home Screen. Your Taste is built for the lock screen, and the other four work there too. Rankings and stats Your favorite actors, directors, studios, genres, and eras, ranked by your own ratings. You already knew you disagree with the critics. This is the proof. Year in Review A shareable, image-rich recap of your movie year, plus a seven-year "Your Era" retrospective. Optional AI Discovery AI recommendations read your taste profile and surface films worth your night, and only when you turn them on, using your own key. Private by design. Your ratings and any AI keys stay on your device. No ads, no analytics SDKs, no tracking. Free to use. How to Movie uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
What’s new
Version 1.9 · Updated October 6, 2026
Pin a Deep Pull. When Home turns up a film you really mean to get to, pin it and it stays at the front of Deep Pulls while the rest keep shuffling behind it. Prediction History finally reads the way it should. The chart is now split into Risky, Good and Great bands, and every film sits inside the band of the verdict it was given. It also keeps up when a prediction changes, so the chart and the verdict above it always agree. Older points could not be placed on the new chart, so your history starts fresh from this version. Reviews on Home now show the right poster, even when two films share a title. And Settings has two new neighbors from the same studio: Next Chapter, for the books you want to read next, and Movie Night, movie trivia for the whole family.
