About our matches

Close Matches

100% of our movie matches are handpicked by our human writers, who are mostly former video-store clerks. These Clerks’ recommendations are almost always a good match for the original movie you typed in or clicked.

Creative Matches

100% of our movie matches are handpicked by our human writers, who are mostly former video store clerks. These Clerks’ recommendations are mostly a good match for the original, but it all depends on why you liked the movie in the first place. We call them Creative Matches because there are some differences from the original movie. You should carefully compare the two by using our Compare Any Two Movies app to be sure you’ll like these ‘creative’ recommendations. It’s definitely worth your time to check them out since the Close Matches are often better known movies that you may have already seen.

Wild Card Matches

Our Clerks have dreamed up some truly wild matches that you may either love or hate. Be sure to read the fine print. Check out our movie comparison and movie info pages.

Borderline Matches

These are sometimes good matches for people who are determined to see every movie related to the subject of their original match. But be careful of these borderline matches. They may be poorly rated by critics and customers, or extremely different in style, tone, or genre.
