Download on the App Store Free on iPhone

Last updated November 13, 2026

To find movies similar to one you like, start with that film's genre and tone. Check the director, too. Then look at a similar-title page. What2Watch AI, a free iPhone app and website, has movies-like pages for popular films, with ratings and US streaming for each similar title.

On this site

What2Watch AI's movies-like section covers titles such as Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Parasite, Knives Out, The Matrix, Fight Club and Gone Girl. Its best-recommendation-app guide says each page lists six similar titles with ratings and US streaming. No sign-up needed.

If your film is not listed

Use What2Watch AI's mood route in the app. Pick the feeling that film gave you and see what comes up. Swipe right on picks that match. What2Watch AI learns from those swipes.
