Questions

Does it suggest actual films?

No. It picks a genre, or a film from your own list. Type your watchlist into the options box, one title per line.

Is every option equally likely?

Yes. Each of the 24 genres has an equal slice, so any one genre has a 1 in 24 chance. On your own watchlist, every film gets the same share. Your browser's cryptographic random number generator picks where the wheel stops.
