Best movies for friends
Three to eight friends with very different tastes? Default to Fairness mode - the Sommelier picks the option with the lowest misery floor instead of optimizing the average. Comedy, action, horror, sci-fi - all filtered to what's streamable across your friends' services.

Frequently asked
What's a movie a big group will all enjoy?
Comedy and action consistently rate highest for groups of 4+ because they have the lowest 'this is not for me' rate. The Sommelier picks the title with the highest minimum-enjoyment score across the group.
How do you pick when nobody can agree?
Fairness mode minimizes the unhappiest person rather than maximizing the average. Practically: a movie that's a 7/10 for everyone beats a 9/10 for half the group and a 4/10 for the other half.
Can we vote on the picks?
Yes. Every Sommelier session ends with a vote - six reactions per pick (love, hate, seen it, save for later, not tonight, never). The Sommelier learns from each vote, so picks get sharper across sessions.
