A catalog built like a library, not scraped like a feed.
OurMovieNights is a deliberately small thing built in deliberately small steps. Two people sit down on a Friday night, they have not agreed on a film for a year, the streaming service suggests the same six titles, and the evening collapses into another argument about House of the Dragon. That is the problem.
The Movie DNA Project is our answer. Every film is read against twelve independent axes — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, density, warmth, auteur signature, and more. The scoring is done by a human, deliberately, over a cup of coffee, anchored to a few reference films. There is no scraping. There is no LLM guessing at the soul of Stalker. There are no star averages.
The catalog is currently 1,848 films and grows every week. T1 — the canon that 70% of viewers recognise — is essentially complete. T2 — the cinephile standard, from Iranian new wave to Hong Kong action — is past 60%. Each score is reviewable on the film's own page, and each new batch is published with a deploy stamp so you can see exactly when it landed.
We do not sell your watch data. We do not retarget you. We do not run ads. The whole thing lives on our own infrastructure, built quietly by people who think cinema is a long conversation that deserves a tool built for the conversation, not for the feed.
