Get to 64 movies any way you like, then lock the field. Locking pulls full details for all 64 and freezes the seed order so everyone runs the same bracket.
Paste anything
One per line, CSV, or JSON. Numbering, bullets, quotes and trailing years all get cleaned up.
Which one did you mean?
Filter
Everything is optional. Separate names with commas or the word "or".
A rating ceiling also drops anything with no US rating on file, which quietly removes a lot of older and foreign titles. Whatever you set, anything rated NC-17 or X is caught when you lock the field, however it got into the list.
Within a field the names are an or — three actors finds anything with any one of them. Across fields it narrows: actors plus a year range means both must be true.

No API key required.
A catalog file holds the 64 movies, their posters and stats, and the frozen seed order. Load it and go straight to the bracket.
The field
0 of 64 slots
Nothing added yet. Paste a list or run a search above.
You do not need exactly 64. Anything from 8 upward works — the bracket sizes itself to 8, 16, 32 or 64 and the top seeds take a bye through round one. Sixty-four is the ceiling; past that you will be asked to trim.
This catalog
Change the films above, then republish.
Update keeps the same identity, so sealed files and results other people already hold still line up with it. Save as new starts a fresh identity and orphans them. Either way the bracket is rebuilt, so any play in progress is reset — export and re-upload afterwards.

Before you start
So your picks can be told apart from everyone else's.
Nothing to install and no keys needed. Everything you pick stays in this browser until you choose to export it.

The board
Four regions converge on the centre. Winners are lit, beaten films are struck through, and the matchup you are about to judge is outlined.
Champion
A bracket crowns a winner, but it does not rank the field. Half the round of 16 went out on a single loss with nothing to separate them. Put your top ten in the order you actually want them — the bracket has already done the hard part of working out who they are.

Four tiers of four
Every film played at least twice and none was dropped after a single loss. Settle a tier to put its four in order — four more matchups each. For a 1 to 10 you only need the top two or three tiers; anything left unsettled you can drag into place on the results page.
Results
Every pick anyone has ever made is stored as a single head-to-head ballot. Merging is just adding ballots together, so the ranking is recomputed from raw comparisons rather than averaged from someone else's ordering.

Use the arrows to move a film. Split shows how divided the voters were.

Share
Send the films for someone to judge cold, or send your own answers sealed so they cannot peek until they have made their picks.
Publish this set
One link your friends can open, play, and pass on.
Rename it whenever you like and the old links keep working. The only way a link breaks is if you later publish a different set under a name you previously abandoned, in which case the new set takes that name over.
Send
Just the films
The 64 and their seed order, nothing else. They judge from scratch and send their results back to you. Tick Embed posters on the Build tab first if they will be offline.
The films with my answers, sealed
They get the same 64 and play it themselves. Your picks travel with the file but stay shut until they have finished their own bracket and the finals placement round. Then a Break the seal button appears.
The films with my answers, open
Everything visible straight away. Use this for sending results back to whoever started the bracket.
On the seal. This app keeps the file shut until the recipient has finished, which is enough to stop anyone spoiling themselves by accident. It is a courtesy lock rather than encryption, so somebody determined enough could pick the file apart in a text editor.
Publish to a link
Put the exported file on a web server and hand out a URL instead of an attachment.
Set a code and the three Export buttons above will name the file after it. Upload that one file beside your page, and the link opens straight into the bracket. One code per file, so use a second code if you want to publish both the films and a sealed copy.
Receive
Films, sealed answers, or finished results. Drop in as many as you like.
Re-importing the same file changes nothing.
Sealed envelopes
Nothing sealed waiting. Anything you import that is sealed shows up here.
