How to find a movie of your choice?
Do not waste your time watching movies that you don't like or spend hours to find a good movie, these 3 of my personal techniques for movie searching really save me hours and find me movies that I love and remember for years! you can do it too very easily! let's get straight to it.
1: Find your Director
Most of film directors have a certain style that you can identify in each of their movies, if you have a few movies in mind that you absolutely love and want more like it, you can find more like them very easily. For example, if you are like me and just love Pulp Fiction (1994) then surely you would love other movies by the same director Quentin Tarantino. I.e Reservoir Dogs, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, TheHateful Eight…
If you are an Interstellar (2014) guy you will love Inception, Dunkirk, Memento, The Prestige… why? you got it, because all of them are directed by the same director Christopher Nolan.
The same techniques work for almost any director.
Find the director, Google one of your favorite movies' name with “director”
When you get the name of the director, Search for other movies made by him:
And Voila! you got enough great movies of your taste for the next week or even a month just with two searches.
2: Letterboxd
Letterboxd is a free social media platform for movie buffs. Notable features include the ability for users to keep track of films they’ve watched, write and share reviews, and compile a watchlist of films they want to see.

Lists
letterbox has the most interesting movies list on the internet, you can find lists about almost anything you can think of. here are some examples:

You’re not the same person once the film has finished
Well, you got the idea!
Follow people with the same taste
Another great way is to follow users who have the same taste as you, whenever they review a movie you will get it in your feeds but the problem is how you find users with the same taste? well I got you again, search your favorite movies, find positive reviews from users on it and follow those people especially when the movie is also one of their favorites.
3: Bestsimilar.com
At this point, you probably have found tons of movies to watch but if you have a movie in mind and you want something similar to it in terms of plot, genre, characters or any other category then bestsimilar is the best place for it.
for example, if you want something like the Cast Away (2000) you will get a list of movies based on similarity percentage.
These are my 3 main ways for movie searching this might overwhelm you at first but if you use these tools and techniques a few times you will find great movies in no time! and discover a lot of great people on this journey.
