Bring one diary
A Kinolog member starts the room with the taste history they already have. Letterboxd imports work too.
Movie night picker
Pick for both tastes, not the loudest person on the couch.
One of you brings a real movie diary. The other can answer a quick taste deck from a link, with no account and no app. Kinolog scores the room together and leaves out anything either person has already seen.

You rated Parasite 5★, and Maria loved The Grand Budapest Hotel in her quiz: a sharp, funny ensemble mystery sits right between you.

How movie night works.
Send one link
The other person answers a handful of films in the browser. No account is required for the invited guest.
Get the overlap
The picker ranks films for both tastes, excludes both seen lists and explains why the top options fit the room.
Built for the real friction
The guest should not have to install anything.
Requiring two signups before a movie starts is exactly the kind of friction that kills movie night. The invite link is deliberately asymmetric: one person owns the room, the guest can participate without becoming a Kinolog user.
If the guest already has Kinolog, they can bring their own diary instead. Their private diary remains theirs; the room only uses the overlap needed to avoid recommending something they have already seen and to score the shared fit.
Want the picker to know you before tonight?
Build a private diary once and Kinolog can reuse that taste for Tonight, Find and future Movie Night rooms instead of starting from a blank questionnaire every time.
