When it comes to movie watching, choice paralysis is a very real problem. There are so many movies available to stream, how can you possibly decide what to watch next? You might have something in mind, but what if there's a better option?

Don't spend more time choosing a movie than watching one. To help you out, we've rounded up a list of services that will help you find the perfect movie to stream right now. Get your popcorn ready.

1. Rotten Tomatoes

For many entertainment fans, Rotten Tomatoes is the go-to resource to discover the critical consensus on a movie. The famous Tomatometer shows how many approved critics gave the movie a positive review, which is a helpful indicator when you want to find something quality to watch.

One of Rotten Tomatoes' many useful features is its Movies at Home page. Here you can find the latest streaming releases and filter by aspects such as genre, parental rating, and audience score. Importantly, you can toggle the streaming services you subscribe to, so you'll see a list of everything that's available to you and matches your criteria.

2. IMDb

When you want to know something about a movie, you turn to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb). It's a goldmine of information. Cast lists, trailers, trivia, plot descriptions... you'll find all of this, along with plenty of other great IMDb features that are easy to overlook.

To help you decide what to stream, start with the What's on TV and Streaming page. This lists everything new to streaming in the current month, along with editorial lists that detail the best watches on particular streaming services. Alternatively, head to the What to Watch page, where you'll find many handy streaming guides.

3. Pick A Movie For Me

Do you wish that someone else could choose your next movie to watch? Thanks to Pick A Movie For Me, all you have to do is answer six questions to find the answer. Every movie in the database is hand-picked, so you won't end up watching garbage, and the quiz matches you with a flick based upon your mood, the occasion, and more.

To begin, simply press Start Now and progress through the questions. If you don't like the pick, you can select Get another recommendation, or go back and retake the quiz to adjust the filters. Since the site doesn't have a huge database, try not to filter too specifically or else you may not get any results.

4. ReelGood

ReelGood dons itself the "streaming service search engine" because it's only interested in recommending you movies that you can actually stream now. It's frustrating to think you've found the perfect movie to watch, only to discover you're not subscribed to any service that offers it.

RealGood removes this problem. You select the services you subscribe to, then apply filters as needed: genre, release date, IMDb score, and more. You can also use RealGood to keep track of what you've already seen and to find which TV show to watch next.

5. JustWatch

JustWatch is similar to RealGood, in that it recommends you movies based on the streaming service. You choose the services you have (or those you are willing to pay for, either on subscription or a per-movie cost), then apply filters such as release year, genre, production country, and runtime.

JustWatch also has an excellent Android and iOS app, which you can use to select your next viewing. The app also offers personalized recommendations and lets you build a watchlist of movies you want to watch in the future. It's free, though there is a paid subscription if you need extra features.

6. Suggest Me Movie

Suggest Me Movie is a web-based movie recommendation service. All you have to do is select Next Movie from the homepage and you'll be presented with a random movie. Watch the trailer, read a synopsis, browse the cast, and then decide whether it's right for you.

If you want a more refined result, select Filers. Here you can apply customizations such as release year, language, IMDb score range, genre, and so on. So, if you're in the mood for an action movie released in the last decade that reviewed well, Suggest Me Movie has you covered.

7. A Good Movie To Watch

Choose a Movie to Stream at Random

When the number of streaming services only continues to grow, each with its own original content, the decision on what to watch grows more complex. With any luck, one of the services outlined above has found the perfect movie for you.

If not, you could always select something with an old school method; close your eyes, scroll down your favored service's homepage, and stop randomly. Alternatively, Netflix has a feature called Play Something to help you out—it picks something based upon your viewing habits that it thinks you'll enjoy.
