More than a checklist: a diary that remembers where and with whom you watched
Logging a movie should capture the memory of the night, not just tick a database box. When you log a cinema visit on moviemates.social, you can attach the scanned ticket stub, see the exact cinema and seat number, and link the session to the mates who sat next to you.
Whether you watched a classic on the couch or caught a midnight preview screening, your diary stays organised, searchable, and completely free of advertising.
Smart watchlists that know which streaming services you own
A 200-movie watchlist is useless if you have to click through ten apps to find out what is streaming for free tonight. Set your active subscriptions once on moviemates.social and every film streaming on your services displays an instant YOURS badge.
Franchise watch orders built right into the tracker
Working your way through Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Alien, or Middle-earth? Open any collection on moviemates.social and toggle between theatrical Release Order and in-universe Timeline Order, with automatic progress tracking as you rate each instalment.
