Pick a movie with friends: vote on tonight's film
A simple poll picks the film with the loudest fans. Ranked points pick the film the whole room is happy with. Add the shortlist, send the link to the group chat, and have an answer before the popcorn is ready.
What a board looks like
- The comfort rewatch
- The new release
- The three-hour epic
- The horror nobody admits wanting
- The animated one
Each voter places 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points — every value once.
Why Eurovision-style points work here
Everyone's second and third choices count. The divisive pick that half the room hates loses to the film everybody put in their top three.
How to run it
- Create a board and add your options (photos optional).
- Share the link or QR code with your group.
- Everyone hands out their points from their own phone.
- Finish the voting to reveal the scoreboard to everyone.
Tips
- Add a poster image to each film — people vote faster when they recognise the cover.
- Let everyone nominate one film first, then vote on the full list.
- Keep the board and reuse the runners-up as next week's shortlist.
Questions
How do we pick a movie when everyone wants something different?
Have everyone rank the shortlist instead of naming one favourite. The film with the most points overall is the one most of the group is happy to watch, even if it's nobody's number one.
Can my friends vote without making an account?
Yes. Choose "anyone with the link" when you create the board and your friends can vote straight from the group chat.
