Using This Subreddit

This subreddit shouldn't be used for reviews, blindly suggesting lists of movies or just asking for generally universal acclaimed films. Google can easily supply all of those answers. The best way to use this subreddit is understanding that you're leveraging crowdsourcing to identify an itch to scratch. If you don't know specifically what you're looking for, then a Googled question will answer you.

You can easily find top Sci-Fi, Horror, Drama and all of the genres with a search. Someone has already asked and answered so many common requests: Top Korean New Wave, Grounded Science Fiction, Universally Acclaimed Movies, Specific Types of Horror or Thrillers; and so much more. The optimal use of this subreddit is when your question requires a human intelligence. Each time you ask for a movie to watch, the replies will be tailored exactly for you. Give as much detail as possible for what you're looking for and you'll be surprised at some of the answers.

This subreddit is not useful for:

• Identifying a Movie: Use r/tipofmytongue
• Requesting a TV Series: Use r/televisionsuggestions
• Suggest the Creation of a Movie: Use r/pitchamovie or r/scriptprompts
• Asking for How a Scene Was Created: Use r/Filmmakers
• Hawking Your Blog/App/Review/YouTube: There's plenty of other subreddits for all of these activities.

If you've begun to trust this community with their picks, we do have plenty of Monthly Round-ups of Best Movies:

• Best Movies Seen May 2018
• Best Movies Seen April 2018
• Best Movies Seen March 2018
• Best Movies Seen Februrary 2018
• Best Movies of 2017

If you want a quick reply, such as "What to Watch Tonight", your best best is to use our Discord: https://discord.gg/r5tDTrE

It would also be a great way to talk to other cinephiles who are looking for more than the stock answers to every question.
