Netflix Family Movie Picker

What Is the Netflix Family Movie Picker?

Family films on Netflix cover a wide age spread, from titles that work for a five year old to ones aimed at teenagers. Trim the wheel to the age range actually in the room before the first spin, or you will spend the evening rejecting results.

The Netflix family picker spins only what the service currently carries, so whatever it lands on is something you can start straight away.

How to Use the Netflix Family Movie Picker?

1. 1

   Open the Netflix Family Movie Picker. The wheel loads family titles from the Netflix catalogue, so nothing it lands on sends you to another subscription.

2. 2

   Press SPIN and take whatever comes back.

3. 3

   Find the title inside Netflix and start it.

4. 4

   Give it twenty minutes before you are allowed to bail. Most family films have not shown their hand by then.

5. 5

   Seen it? Remove it and spin again, then save your Netflix family shortlist under "My Wheels".

Netflix Family Movie Picker Use Cases

Any moment where somebody under ten is in the group and an adult has to commit is the moment this wheel breaks the four way argument before it starts. On Netflix specifically, that means leaning on whatever family titles the service currently has licensed. That catalogue rotates more than the homepage admits, so the wheel reflects what's actually there rather than what got promoted last quarter.

Tips Before You Press Play

Check the volume before you commit, because family films often carry unexpectedly loud audio mixes. Worth knowing on Netflix: the family catalogue here shifts as licences turn over, so a wheel you trimmed last month is worth a second look before you rely on it.
