Goodfilms is a site for you to rate, review, and share your movie experiences, and while doing so find new films (or rediscover old ones) for you to watch. We’ve built the site based around two fundamental ideas: that films are social, and that existing rating systems are broken.
Films are social.
The best way to find movies is through the people you know. We’ve designed Goodfilms from the ground up to show you what your existing friends are watching and rating, and to focus on showing you what the people around you think about films instead of a random grab bag of “internet voters” or highly specialised critics.
Existing rating systems are broken.
We’ve gone into this in a fair amount of detail in our blog post titled A Better Way to Rate Films
How many great films have you seen that you really wouldn’t enjoy watching again? How many cheesy, great fun films have you watched over and over again but couldn’t honestly call “great”? There’s a lot of films that fall into those two categories that just can’t be effectively rated with a singe one to five star (or thumbs, or popcorn buckets) rating. Our rating system allows you to rate for both of those qualities separately: critical quality and “rewatchability”.
