Movie Bracket Maker
CUT! is a free movie bracket maker. Send your favourite films into a knockout tournament, pick a winner in each one-on-one battle, and crown your all-time champion.
What is a movie bracket?
A movie bracket is a single-elimination tournament for films. Two movies go head-to-head, you choose the one you love more, and the winner advances. Round by round the field is cut in half — 128 → 64 → 32 → 16 → quarter-finals → semi-finals → final — until one film is left standing. It is a fun, decisive way to finally answer “what is my favourite movie?” without trying to rank a hundred films at once.
How CUT! works
CUT! gives you three ways to start a film tournament:
- Quick Play — jump straight into a ready-made bracket of 128 beloved, broadly-loved classics. The fastest way to try a movie bracket.
- Pick your own films — search and add the movies you love and battle exactly those. No account needed.
- Import your ratings — upload a CSV export from Letterboxd or IMDb and CUT! builds a bracket from your highest-rated films.
You can also play Group party mode, which merges several people’s lists into one shared bracket so a group can crown a favourite together on one device.
Why people love it
- Cinematic one-on-one battles with poster art and a dramatic champion reveal.
- A shareable “champion card” and a visual Gauntlet Tree of your whole bracket to post to friends.
- A weekly leaderboard of the films players crown most often.
- Free, works on any phone or computer, and installs as an app — no sign-up.
