Hey Product Hunt Community 👋🏾 I'm so excited to introduce our latest and greatest version of Film Finder ⚡️ which was built to save you from endlessly searching for the next film to watch! As the founder, I've worked tirelessly speaking with users, gathering insights, iterating on the design, and making product trade-offs so that you can find great films quickly. 💎 There are thousands of films released each year which are distributed across hundreds of platforms. It's so easy to miss out on great films and to continue watching average films because that's what's trending. Film Finder has helped so many users uncover 'gems' through our personalised recommendation system. 💬 We've been doing interviews on the street asking people the longest time it's taken them to look for a film to watch. The average amount of time is 1-2 hours. That's approximately the length of a feature film! We're determined to cut that search time right down to 2-5 minutes. Our key KPIs are based on quality and speed so watch this space and give us feedback to help us achieve that! What are the features? MY COLLECTIONS ⚡️ – Find exactly what you’re looking for • Create a collection of recommendations by adding genres, actors, crew members, and tags based on your mood • Every film card has key information to help you decide e.g., rating, genre, summary, cast, and crew • You can also watch the film trailers, save films to your watchlists, and share them with friends and family PROFILE 👨🏾 - Manage your watchlists, liked films, and more • Add films to your watchlist via the profile page or the ‘my collections’ page by clicking the ‘save’ button • Want to keep track of what you’ve watched, add films to the ‘films you've seen’ section! SEARCH 🔎 - Search for specific films, cast members, and crew members (e.g., film directors) • Find film cards by searching for titles • Find actor and crew profiles by searching their names HOME 🏠 - Discover popular and trending films • This page contains general film recommendations and it also contains personalised film recommendations based on your profile

Sweet!! I have a million subscription to streaming services and still never find a movie that I want to watch. Curious to see the recommendations feature. Will it also show on which streaming services the movies is available? @samuel_csv

Congratulations on the launch, this will be super helpful, I always struggle with finding new films that I might like and end up rewatching old ones... does it tell you that the recommended film is on HBO, Netflix...??

Great work! I love watching films with friends or sharing reviews with them, is there a way to share playlists with close friends?

@kehui_guo Thank you Kehui! At the moment you can only share films (as a single recommendation), but we definitely look to incorporate the social element more, so sharing watchlists is on the cards.

Pretty cool app! Does it recommend movies based on others that you've liked? i.e. Getting a recommendation for movies like "Interstellar" or "The Boiler Room". Also, are you leveraging IMDB's API? Perhaps it would be cool to allow me to review the film while also updating it on my IMDB account—two stones, one bird. Congrats on the launch!

@davisnz Thanks Davis, yeah there's a top picks section on the home page that is based on the films you've liked. We're still working on that algo as well. At the bottom of every film card, there's a similar films section as well. That sounds like a great idea! IMDbs API is out of budget for us at the moment, but that's definitely where we're headed!

Interesting app - looks pretty simple to use. What's the algo like driving the reco engine? How does the gem finder work? Congrats on launching @samuel_csv !

@tonyhanded Thank you Tony, it's based on criteria chosen by the user, we then surface relevant content. Film Finder functionality is in my comment above

Interesting, finally a non-business saas product that I can actually resonate with and use often. Wondering how different would this be from letterbox's app? If you'd add some gamified scoring and movie reviewing mechanism to make it more social than just a suggestion app, it'd be amazing!

@binani Fantastic to hear Yash. There will be some overlap between us and Letterboxd, but our primary focus will always be to recommend people great films at lightning speed. Once we release the Android version, our next priority will be to make it social. When you say gamified scoring, what would you like to score points on?
