Paste your watchlist, press the button, and one film comes out. There is a starter list of twenty to argue with if you have not got a list of your own.
How to pick a film
1 Clear the starter list and paste your own — most streaming services will let you copy a watchlist.
2 Turn on Remove once picked if you want to work through the list over several nights without repeats.
3 Press the button and commit to the answer.
The reason this works is not the randomness — it is the commitment. Choosing between forty films is a genuinely hard problem and people are demonstrably bad at it; the scrolling is not deliberation, it is avoidance. Delegating the choice removes the part you were failing at and leaves the part you can do, which is watch a film. If the result makes you groan, that is information too: put it back and pick again, but notice that you now know what you did want.
Questions
Yes, and you should — clear the box and paste yours. The starter list is there so the page is usable immediately.
