Configure options and click generate
A random movie generator selects film titles from a curated list so you can decide what to watch, plan watchlists, or run movie-night games without assembling lists manually. It is designed for inspiration and group decisions—not as a streaming guide, rating database, or trailer finder.
This Muxgen tool runs in your browser: set movie-count (default 1), pick a Genre, toggle Allow duplicate movies, generate numbered emerald movie pick cards, and copy. No account and no server upload for your picks.
Three simple steps from genre filter to copy-ready movie lists.
Enter movie-count (default 1), then pick a Genre chip from 7 options including All genres.
Toggle Allow duplicate movies for repeats up to 100, or turn it off for unique-only batches capped by the genre pool (10–60).
Click Generate movie, review numbered emerald movie cards, then Copy to clipboard for watchlists, chat, or shared notes.
Every control in the random movie generator component.
Number input min 1 — max 100 with duplicates on, or maxBatchForMovieSettings when duplicates off. Default 1.
7 toggle buttons from MOVIE_GENRE_FILTER_OPTIONS — default All genres.
Checked by default — enables repeated titles and raises max count to 100. Unchecked uses a used Set for unique picks within the pool.
Live pool.length from getMoviePool — updates when genre changes; disables generate at zero.
Primary button — plural label when count > 1; disabled when pool.length === 0.
Right panel shows emerald bordered cards with numbered titles, or empty state "Configure options and click generate" with clapperboard emoji.
Ghost button — formatMovieCopyList numbered export; Copied! feedback for two seconds.
