# Match a Movie

> A free web app for deciding what to watch as a group. Everyone swipes
> through the same films at the same time, filtered to what is actually
> included in your streaming subscriptions in your country, and the first
> film everybody likes is the match.

Match a Movie supports Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ across 12
regions and 19 genres. It requires no account, no download and no payment.
A match requires unanimity — the first film every participant approves of —
rather than a majority vote. Film data comes from The Movie Database (TMDB);
titles included in a subscription are distinguished from paid rentals.

The app itself is available in English, German, Spanish and French at
https://match-a-movie.com/en, https://match-a-movie.com/de, https://match-a-movie.com/es, https://match-a-movie.com/fr.
