What is my movie is a remarkable search tool that can help those of us with memory issues remember the title of that film we are struggling to remember.  Simply type anything you do remember in the search box and What is my movie will try to match your search terms among metadata from field of 45,000 English language movies

What is my movie accepts voice input and invites users to evaluate results to improve the system and voting matches good or bad to improve positive hits.  Users may search keywords or search by titles, actors, or directors.

Click on “Watch Now” and you will be taken to the trailer or to Amazon to purchase the film.  Of course, the value is really in the discovery. Once you have the suggestions, you can obtain the film via your usual strategies.
