About this picker
One press, one pick worth watching
Documentaries are the easiest thing to put off and the hardest to regret. The picker draws a random documentary from a short, strong list, films and series both, so a random pick is a good pick. Add Chill for nature and food, Intense for true crime and investigation, or Emotional for the human stories.
Every pick links to a page with where it streams, ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic, the trailer, and the cast. The full random movie picker lets you mix any genre, mood, and decade, the What to watch quiz turns six questions into a ranked lineup, and the binge calculator tells you how long a series will take. Limelight itself is a free download for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Questions
About the documentary picker
No. Nature, food, music, sport, and history are all represented. Add the Intense mood if true crime is what you want.
Never wonder what to watch again
Limelight finds it, tells you where it streams, and keeps track of what you've seen. Free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, privacy focused with no ads.
