Anyone who’s spent half an hour scrolling through Netflix’s endless home screen knows the struggle of trying to find something to watch.
Even though platforms like Netflix and Stan are filled to the brim with countless movies, sometimes it feels like there’s just absolutely nothing you want to actually watch.
And if you’re trying to find something to watch with your partner, it’s even more difficult.
Seriously, who hasn’t had an argument with their partner over what to watch?!
But there’s good news.
We’ve found a genius website that does all the hard work for you.
Yep, say goodbye to Netflix fights.
Netflix shares it’s five most binge-watched shows of 2018. Post continues below…
The website, named TasteDive, recommends movies to watch based on ones you’ve already watched and loved.
Users simply type in a movie title that they like and the site recommends similar movies to watch, based off reviews, suggestions and ratings from other site users.
Each movie title has a trailer and user ratings to make selecting something to view even easier.
The site is so simple to use and unless you want to add your own ratings to films, there’s no sign-up process required.
The best part? The site’s recommendations are pretty spot-on.
We tested the site and its suggestions are pretty brilliant.
TasteDive also provides recommendations for TV shows, bands and games.
And because it can be super daunting to go into a bookstore or trawl the internet for a new book to read without knowing if it will suit your personal taste, the website also recommends similar authors based off your favourites.
Too easy.

Netflix and Stan both already do this. They show recommendations for other things to watch under each title (you may need to click More Than This to see them on Netflix). Netflix's are based on other user's viewings and ratings but I'm not sure what data Stan uses.
Both are more useful than this site, in any case, because you're not going to look up a movie, see a suggestion you're interested in and then find it's not even streaming anywhere.
