Choose the mood before the title.
Start with the evening you want: a light comedy, a twisty story or something familiar. Agree on a rough length and any themes you would rather skip. Those two decisions can make the next choice much easier.
Build a tiny shortlist.
Each person suggests one option and explains the appeal without giving away the plot. Pick between those choices rather than reopening every catalogue. Availability varies by region and provider, so check your own service before settling in.
Keep a conversation for afterwards.
Notice a favorite scene, an unusual sound or a performance you enjoyed. You do not have to rate everything. Sometimes a better question is simply: which part would you tell a friend about?
