How the schedule is built

The planner picks films from our curated list that match your choices and fit the time available, including the breaks between them. It aims for variety: different decades and sub-genres where possible, and an intensity that rises through the night so the hardest film is not first.

Each film shows its start and end time. Swap any film for another that fits the remaining time, or remove it, and the timings update. Running times are the standard theatrical lengths and may differ slightly by version.

Questions

What if nothing fits my time?

Widen the genres or the era, or shorten the breaks. Most films run between 80 and 130 minutes.

Can I print the plan?

Yes. The print button produces a clean, ink-friendly schedule, and you can also download it as text.

Where does the film data come from?

The same curated list as the movie picker, with years, runtimes and directors checked against Wikidata.
