Track movies and build a watch list in Discord
Look up any movie or series in Discord and build personal Favorites and Watch List collections your members can sort, share and pick from at random.
Movie nights, "what should I watch next", recommendations flying around chat: film talk is a staple of most communities. Skipper's /movie command gives each member two personal collections to keep it all organised. Favorites for what they've loved, and a Watch List for what's next.
Looking up a title
Run /movie and start typing a title in the name option. Autocomplete suggests matches (and always offers a Random pick). You can also paste an IMDb ID or type random. A couple of optional extras:
year: narrow a search to a specific release year.hide: keep the response private to you.
Skipper returns an embed with the poster, plot, genre, ratings (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb) and release date, plus three buttons.
Saving to your lists
On any search result you'll see:
- Info: full details, including which members in your server have it saved.
- Favorite: add it to your Favorites.
- Save: add it to your Watch List.
A title can only live in one list at a time. Favorite something that's on your Watch List and it simply moves across. The Favorite button is disabled for unreleased films, so you can watch-list an upcoming movie, but you can't favorite it until it's out.
Viewing and managing your list
Run /movie with no title to see your collections: how many are in Favorites and how many are still to watch, with a button to open each. Inside a list you can:
- Sort by name, rating, or date, or manually swap and move titles around.
- Delete titles you're done with.
- Random Pick: can't decide? Let Skipper choose from your Watch List.

Tips & gotchas
- Only movies and series are supported; games are handled by a separate command.
- There's a short cooldown on the command and on saving the same title repeatedly, to keep things tidy.
- Your Watch List's Random Pick appears once you have more than one title saved.
