Finding your next favorite movie shouldn't be hard. CinemaSearch is a free, intelligent movie recommendation engine that analyzes the films you love to discover new movies you'll enjoy.
Our Mission: To help movie lovers discover hidden gems and new favorites by understanding what makes each film unique and matching it to their personal taste.
Unlike simple "people who liked X also liked Y" recommendations, CinemaSearch digs deep into what makes movies similar. Our algorithm analyzes multiple dimensions of each film to find truly compatible matches.
Search for and select movies you love. The more you add, the better our recommendations become. We recommend adding at least 3-5 movies for best results.
Our algorithm analyzes your selections across multiple factors: genres, themes, directors, writers, cast members, studios, content ratings, and more.
We compare these elements against our database to find movies that share DNA with your favorites. Each recommendation gets a match score showing how compatible it is.
Use our filters to narrow down by year, rating, shared cast members, directors, or studios. Find exactly what you're in the mood for.
Every movie recommendation is scored based on how many elements it shares with your favorites. Here's how we weight each factor:
Keywords carry the most weight because thematic elements—like "heist," "coming of age," or "dystopian future"—often define what draws us to certain movies more than surface-level details.
CinemaSearch uses data from The Movie Database (TMDB), one of the most comprehensive movie databases available. This gives us access to detailed information on hundreds of thousands of films, from Hollywood blockbusters to indie gems and international cinema.
Your movie selections are processed in real-time and never stored on our servers. We don't track your viewing history or sell your data. CinemaSearch is simply a tool to help you discover great movies. Read our full Privacy Policy for more details.
Never forget a movie recommendation again! CinemaSearch includes a built-in watchlist feature that lets you save movies you want to watch later.
When browsing recommendations, simply click the heart icon on any movie card to add it to your watchlist. Click again to remove it.
Your watchlist is stored locally in your browser, so it's always available when you return to CinemaSearch on the same device.
Your watchlist stays on your device. We never upload or store your saved movies on our servers—your movie choices remain completely private.
To view your saved movies, click the "Watchlist" link in the footer at any time. From there, you can review your saved movies or remove ones you've already watched.
CinemaSearch is completely free to use. No sign-ups, no subscriptions, no paywalls. Just great movie recommendations whenever you need them.
Add some movies you love and let CinemaSearch do the rest.
