Your fiveDirected by Richard Linklater
An unexpected meeting on a train leads two travelers to spend an evening wandering through Vienna. As the night unfolds, they share stories and conversations about life and love, exploring new ideas while a quiet intimacy grows between them, knowing it may be their only night together.
Directed by Celine Song
After decades apart, childhood friends Nora and Hae Sung are reunited in New York for one fateful weekend as they confront notions of destiny, love, and the choices that make a life.
Your taste, your rules. Your choices stay on this page. Demo Elo resets when you start over or reload.
A ranking with your fingerprints on it
Your favourite doesn’t have to be the highest-rated film in the room. Compare films in your collection, and let your choices move them up or down.
Crestora uses Elo ratings to track that changing order. Explore your personal movie ranking as a table, browse tiers, or look at favourites within a genre.
Each comparison adjusts the scores of both films, taking their current ratings into account. An unexpected winner can gain more ground than an expected one.
Available public ratings give new films a starting point; a fallback is used when those ratings are missing. Your choices make the ranking increasingly personal. Draws and skips give you room when a comparison is too close.
A little recognition between film people
Some films leave a whole place in your head. A room. A corridor. A journey.
Take a moment before you look at the names.
A listening booth
Before Sunrise (1995)
Richard Linklater
A record plays. Two people keep almost catching each other looking. If a tiny booth brings back that whole scene, you remember more than the plot.
Some favourites are made of almost-nothing moments.
A corridor after dark
In the Mood for Love (2000)
Wong Kar Wai
The narrow passages. The trips for noodles. That recurring waltz. Sometimes the space between two people is the part of a film that stays.
You don’t need the dialogue to remember the feeling.
A train across the water
Spirited Away (2001)
Hayao Miyazaki
After all that wonder, a train ride across the water. The world slows down, and somehow that’s the part you keep coming back to.
A whole world, remembered in one journey.
Recognised the place before the film?
That’s the kind of remembering we’re here for.
Three original miniature tributes, not film stills. A familiar feeling, or your next discovery.
The blind ranking
Rank them one at a time. You won’t know what’s next.
Once a spot is taken, it’s locked. Save number one wisely.
Where does this one belong?
2016 Denis Villeneuve
A favourite now. But what if the next one is your favourite favourite?
Public scores stay hidden until all five are locked.

The plot twist is your taste
Maybe your comfort film is somebody else’s existential crisis.
Your movie statistics can tell a more interesting story than a total.

Search for films you’ve watched, add them to a visual collection, and optionally record when you watched them. Compare films to build a personal ranking, browse favourites and tiers, and explore the genres, release eras and languages in your collection. The film space in the app is called Theatre.
They describe the same basic idea: keeping a record of films you’ve watched. Crestora adds personal comparisons, Elo rankings and collection statistics, so your movie log can also help you discover what you love.
Elo adjusts scores after a head-to-head comparison, taking both films’ current scores into account. Choosing a lower-ranked film over a higher-ranked one can move the scores more. Crestora uses available public ratings as a starting point, with a fallback when those are missing. Your comparisons then make the ranking increasingly personal.
No. You can start by collecting films you’ve watched. A written review is not required to add a film, and the watch date is optional. Explore comparisons when you have films you want to compare; draw and skip options are available too.
Your Theatre includes favourite films, genre mix, genres among your favourites, watching years, release eras, languages and available public-score averages. Ranking insights can reveal preferences for particular genres, eras or runtimes, and films you rank more highly than public opinion. Some insights need enough films with the relevant dates, metadata or ratings before they appear.
Crestora is available for iPhone on the App Store. There’s also a web app you can open in your browser, including on Android. Your films sit alongside your books, trips, places and memories.
The credits rolled. The conversation didn’t.
Your collection. Your favourites. Your cinema.
