Flick Metrix is a website designed to help you narrow your search to find the perfect movies (or TV shows) to enjoy. At its core is a list of movies and TV shows available on all major streaming platforms and a search function capable of identifying which movies and TV shows are right for you.

All of this combined makes Flick Metrix an extremely useful site for anyone who regularly watches movies and TV shows.
How to use the search function to find movies
The basic (and most obvious) way to use Flick Metrix is to use the search function. When you open a website, the search function is front and center and therefore impossible to miss. You can use this function without an account. However, what you can do with search results is limited without registration.

Whether you're signed in or not, you can search for the title of a movie or TV show you're thinking of or change various filters to find new content. Without needing to apply any filters or change the default sorting, Flick Metrix will show you the highest-rated movies available to stream, including classics like The Godfather, Pulp Fiction , Apocalypse Now and There Will Be Blood.
Keep applying filters until you find the perfect film
The key to using Flick Metrix's search function is to keep applying filters until you find the movie that's right for you at that moment. A basic search can turn up a lot of great movies that you could (and should) watch at some point, but may not be the exact movie you're looking for right now. Just as there are ways to use Google Search more effectively, Flick Metrix becomes more effective when you apply filters.

Available filters include limiting your search to specific genres and streaming services, plus requiring a minimum number of critic reviews. There are also sliders to change the release date spectrum and average rating. You can then change the sort order by average rating, release date, number of critic reviews, etc.
If clicked More Options (as shown in the screenshot above), you can narrow your search even further. That lets you exclude certain genres, specify specific languages, and use sliders for ratings from specific sites, including IMDb, Metacritic, and Letterboxd. Last but not least, you can add search fields for title, director, actors, and plot. For example, you can search for all movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Sign in to create a watchlist and get recommendations
Flick Metrix offers many other elements beyond the search function. However, to get the most out of them (and the site in general), you need to create an account and log in to it. This is easy to do as you can use an email/password combination (make sure to avoid terrible passwords) or log in with Google or Facebook.

Once you've created an account and logged in, more options will be available. All of this will help you in your search for movies and TV shows worth watching on streaming services. These options include marking movies you've watched and/or liked, marking movies as favorites, and adding movies and TV shows to your watchlist.

- Seen is a list of movies you have previously watched, remove them from search results.
- Liked is a list of movies you've watched and marked as liked, allowing Flick Metrix to make similar recommendations.
- Favorites is a list of movies you have watched and marked as favorites.
- Suggestions are movies and TV shows that Flick Metrix recommends based on the information you provided.
