Our Cinema

COUCH FOR TWO

A shared watchlist, done properly

One watchlist for the two of you

Yes, you can share a movie watchlist with your partner — not a screenshot of your IMDb list, not a shared streaming profile, but one queue you both add to, both rate, and both remember. Here's how it works in Our Cinema.

How to share a watchlist with your partner

  1. Step 1

    Start your cinema

    Sign up free and your private cinema appears — a shared home for everything you two want to watch.

  2. Step 2

    Invite your partner

    Send them one link. Once they join, everything you add lands in the same place, instantly, on both phones.

  3. Step 3

    Build the queue together

    Either of you can add any film or series. No more texting trailers back and forth — the queue is the conversation.

Why not just share an IMDb, Amazon or Netflix list?

It's the first thing most couples try — and the reason "how to share a watchlist" is such a common search. The big platforms just weren't built for two people watching together:

  • IMDb watchlists are single-user

    You can make a list public, but your partner can't add to it, and there's no way to mark what you watched together.

  • Amazon and Netflix lists live on one account

    Households share profiles, not watchlists — and they vanish the moment you cancel the subscription.

  • None of them remember the night

    A shared list says what you want to watch. It says nothing about the nights you actually spent on the sofa.

More than a list — a couples movie app

The shared queue is where it starts. What makes it yours is everything that happens around movie night:

  • Whose turn is it?

    Our Cinema keeps track of who picked last, so the eternal debate settles itself.

  • Two sets of stars

    You both rate every title, and the app shows your ratings side by side — including where you disagreed.

  • Every night logged

    Each film becomes a memory: the date, who picked it, your notes, even who else was on the sofa.

  • A decision helper

    The Tonight screen filters your shared queue by mood and runtime and offers a shortlist when you can't choose.

  • Numbers that add up

    Hours watched, streaks, favourite genres and best seasons — your shared viewing, charted.
