Movie recommender FAQ
- How does the ZapMovies movie recommender work?
- Pick your genres, years, minimum rating, country, language and runtime. The recommender queries a live movie database and returns films that match, ranked by rating, popularity or release date — each with an official trailer.
- What are hidden gem movies?
- Hidden gems are highly rated films that relatively few people have voted on. Turning on hidden gems mode filters out blockbusters and surfaces well-reviewed but under-watched movies.
- Is the movie recommender free?
- Yes. ZapMovies is completely free — no account is needed to get recommendations or watch official trailers.
