Guide · Movie night
What to watch with friends tonight
'What do you want to watch?' — 'I don't mind.' Everybody minds. The trouble with picking a movie as a group is that the first suggestion anchors the room and the quiet friend never gets a vote.
Brew a friends-night deck and pickaru deals crowd-pleasers: blockbusters, comedies, action, the films that work with a room full of people talking over them. Everyone swipes privately, so the pick is what the group actually wants, not what the loudest person said first.

Reliable crowd-pleasers
Knives Out2019
A whodunit the whole room plays along with.
Mad Max: Fury Road2015
Two hours of noise; nobody checks their phone.
Top Gun: Maverick2022
The big-screen feeling on a sofa.
The Grand Budapest Hotel2014
Funny and beautiful in equal measure.
Superbad2007
For a night that's mostly about laughing.
Dune2021
When the group wants an event, not a film.
Examples, not the deck: the deck is dealt fresh from the filters when you brew it, so it changes every time.

Questions
How many friends can join?
As many as have the code. Everyone swipes the same deck on their own device, and results unlock when the last person finishes.
What if there's no full match?
You'll see the ranked shortlist — yes votes count double, maybes count once, vetoes drop a title — and a roulette button that picks from the top for you.
