What is the Random Movie Generator?
The generator queries a curated movie database via the process_llm_form API, then returns a list matching your number, genre, year, and rating filters. It strips duplicates and formats results for easy copying.
How are genres matched?
Your comma-separated genres are compared to each film’s primary and secondary tags. A movie appears if it shares at least one of your chosen genres—ideal when you want both “Comedy” and “Sci-Fi” in the same session.
Can I target one decade?
Yes. Enter a range like “1990-1999”. The tool filters out any film released before 1990 or after 1999, giving you a pure ’90s lineup.
Why set a minimum rating?
IMDb’s rating curve shows only about 8 % of titles exceed 8.0, so a high threshold removes most low-quality options (IMDb Title Ratings Data 2024).
How reliable are IMDb scores?
“IMDb ratings are weighted to reduce ballot stuffing and duplicate votes” (IMDb Ratings FAQ). Weighting improves accuracy by privileging verified users and larger vote counts.
Does it cost anything?
No. The form submits anonymously, and the resulting list is free to generate, copy, and share.
How do I share my list?
After generation, click the copy icon. The entire list—title, year, genres, rating—lands on your clipboard, ready for chat apps or notes.
Is my data stored?
The API logs only anonymous usage metrics for uptime monitoring; personal preferences are discarded after processing, aligning with GDPR principles (EU GDPR Art.5).
