Shortlist: Rank Movies & TV

BLRB Digital

About this app

Stop rating movies. Start ranking them.

No scores, no stars, no overthinking. Shortlist exists because finding something to watch shouldn't depend on an algorithm. It should come from the people you actually trust. Shortlist makes it easy to build a definitive, ranked list of everything you've watched, so your whole network can do the same and everyone gets a better answer to "what should I watch next?"

HOW IT WORKS
When you add a new title, Shortlist pits it against titles already on your list. You just keep picking your favorite. Each matchup narrows down exactly where the new title belongs until it finds its place in your ranking. Simple choices build your ultimate movie and TV list.

NEVER FORGET A RECOMMENDATION
Add titles to your Shortlist the moment someone mentions them, mark what you're currently watching, and leave private notes on anything. Your watchlist is always one tap away.

ALWAYS IN THE LOOP
Your activity feed shows everything happening in your network in real time: what friends ranked, reviewed, and added. No algorithm deciding what you see. Switch between For You, Following, and Global feeds.

THREE SCORES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING
- A predictive score based on your own taste and rankings
- A friend score from the people you follow
- A global score from the whole community

COMPARE YOUR TASTE
See how closely your taste matches a friend's, find the movies you most disagree on, and settle it. Following someone shows you exactly where your rankings line up and where they don't.

MAKE LISTS TOGETHER
Create collaborative lists with friends or family and rank them together. Perfect for date-night picks, watch parties, and "best of" debates.

KEEP RANKING
Earn achievements as you rank and build streaks over time. Your taste profile unlocks as you go.

SPOILER-FREE
Toggle spoiler warnings on reviews and notes so nothing gets ruined.
