Plan Movie Night Like You Mean It
The best movie nights are decided before anyone sits down. FlickPicker lets your guests vote in advance so the night starts at "play".
A great movie night dies in the first 45 minutes of indecision. The fix is planning the pick like you plan the snacks — in advance. Create a FlickPicker room when you send the invite, drop the link in the group chat, and let everyone swipe during the week. By the time guests arrive, the movie is chosen, the trailer's been watched, and the only decision left is the popcorn.
Hosts can shape the deck before voting opens: theme nights (horror October, 90s classics), runtime limits, or only-what-I-can-stream filters. The room does the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance can people vote?
Rooms stay open until you're done with them — send the link days ahead and let votes trickle in.
Can I run a themed movie night?
Yes — filter the deck by genre, decade, or franchise-style keywords so every candidate fits the theme.
What if someone can't vote before arriving?
They can swipe in the first two minutes on arrival, or you can go with the standing match — hosts decide.
Does FlickPicker handle recurring movie nights?
Many groups keep a standing room and re-run it weekly. Watch history keeps past picks out of new decks.
