What is this?

Movies Calculator is a fun, personal project by Sergei Chyrkov. It started as a simple question — “how many movies could I actually watch?” — and became a place to turn that number into a queue you can finish, then a page friends can open.

The homepage calculator still answers how many films fit your hours. Save those picks to a watchlist, see how long the list will take at your pace, and share it at moviescalculator.com/@username. Franchise runtimes, director and actor filmographies, and streaming guides sit around the same job. Optional Pro unlocks achievements, private profiles, and where-to-watch tools for your queue. Powered by the TMDB API, it is meant to be useful, quick, and a little nerdy.

My Watchlist

My Watchlist is the list the calculator is for — films you mean to finish, not just count. Sign in with an email magic link to save titles, track what you have watched, and sync across devices. Add films from the movies catalogue, recommendation cards, movie detail popups, or film tables on actor, director, and franchise pages.

• To Watch — your queue with total runtime
• Watched — completed films with a table view and options to move back to the queue or remove
• Queue calculator — estimate how many days it will take to finish your queue based on hours per day and playback speed
• Progress bar — watched vs. total runtime across queued and completed titles
• Completion celebration — a fun message when you mark the last queued film as watched

If you had a local list before signing in, you can merge it with your cloud list on first login. Removing a title shows a short undo toast.

Profiles and Pro

Signed-in users get a profile with display name, avatar, bio, accent color, and optional social links. Visit Profile for watchlist stats and recently watched films, or send friends your public page at moviescalculator.com/@username — a link they can open, with your To Watch and Watched lists.

Movies Calculator Pro is an optional subscription for advanced personal features: streaming availability in your watchlist, private profiles, custom accent colors, and achievements. The calculator, runtime tables, movie browsing, and basic watchlist stay free.

Movies catalogue

The /movies page lets you browse popular films with search and filters for runtime, genre, release decade, and streaming platform. New Releases and Trending rows appear on the default view; applying filters or searching shows matching results in a paginated grid with loading skeletons while data is fetched from TMDB.
