Why talk when you both are already looking at your phones?
I really try to make my relationship such that I would never have to directly interact with my partner, but there's still some work to be done 😔
I suggest a zoom call with your partner to sort it out (cameras off, of course)
I mean, why waste the limited time I have a day with my SO by scrolling together through an endless list of movies and shows. Both of us have the attention span of a beagle, so sporadically swiping through a list during the workday would actually be preferable.
For me it wouldn't be about avoiding conflict, just a way to remember something that I would otherwise forget as soon as we started looking for something to watch.
See, my wife and I will go back and forth, checking various streaming services and vetoing each other's picks for the full duration of movie night.
Now when she asks what I want to watch, my first reply is always, "Literally anything except the Netflix menu."

Yes and a genre filter, please.
Wait... You actually watch the movie? I thought it was just background noise for making out and fucking.
I am so fucking glad I did family movie nights wrong
I wonder what op does when they listen to music then.
Can it not just be for movies, but for food places as well?
We made a backup - a taqueria. If 5 options get axed we have tacos. No regrets!

I just have a massive list of movies and shows I want to watch, and I run it by my wife. She usually just tells me to pick one. Then the burden is mine again.
Let me introduce you to shuf | head 1. This is literally what picks the next movie for us. If either of us are unhappy, we just remove the movie from the list and try again.
It exists, it's called Handshake
All you need is a firm handshake and putting on the LOTR Extended Edition again

One person picks three (movies, restaurants, events, etc.) that they would be happy with.
The other person selects one out of the three.
Alternate.
We tried that. My wife said my hours of research into restaurants was "low effort" so now she picks three and I choose
You pick by aggregating multiple factors and weight them by probability.
She picks by vibe.
We do one more layer, so it's called 5-3-1.
Person A picks five options.
Person B eliminates two of them.
Person A selects one of the three remaining.
We alternate who gets to pick the five.

Then you add it to the pile of movies you don’t have time to watch together
Found the married person with kids
I'm lucky if I get an hour a day to myself outside of work.

on letterboxd you can filter a user's watchlist for matches in your own or filter out stuff you've already seen. handy.
Given the age of thirst post, I'm pretty sure the app already exists.
I’ve actually thought of this as a new dating service. Too bad I’m lazy.
Get after it someone who needs an SO.
This would never work. We enjoy a lot of the same stuff, but sometimes we have to justify certain movies to each other. Like "The Cabin in the Woods". She thought it was classic horror and would never swipe right of her own volition. Likewise, you think I woulda swept right on "Twilight"? OF CORSE I WOULD! Swipe right on every movie I see cuz I love her and we watch whatever she wants.
But this way we never watch my movies
Needs a third option then. Swipe right for "would watch", left for "wouldn't watch", but also swipe up for "I strongly endorse and believe you'd enjoy it if you give it a chance".
Maybe also a fourth. Swipe down for "absolutely not, I know you really love this movie but I just can't watch more Jason Statham."
Double tap for "I see everything with Jason Statham just on principle"
The app "Queue" does this, as well as the other 50 mentioned in this thread
