How we work
Editorial policy
What our articles are based on, how rankings are decided, and what we do when we get something wrong.
Who writes this
Articles are written and maintained by teasertrack editorial. There is no sponsored content on this site, no affiliate links, and no paid placement in any ranking or list. Nobody pays to appear here and nobody can pay to be removed.
teasertrack is free, carries no advertising, and requires no account. It is a discovery site, not a streaming service.
Where the data comes from
Every film's metadata comes from TMDB: titles, release dates, runtimes, cast and crew, genres, community ratings, and all artwork. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
When an article references a film, the identifier, runtime, and rating are taken directly from TMDB at the time of writing rather than from memory, and every title links to its own page here where the current figures are shown.
How rankings are decided
Rankings are editorial judgement. They are not calculated, weighted, or derived from a formula, and we do not rank by box office takings, by aggregate rating, or by popularity, because none of those measure whether a film is worth two hours of your evening.
Every ranked article states its criteria near the top. Those criteria differ deliberately by subject: a science fiction ranking weighs invention and durability, an action ranking weighs choreography and legibility, and a war film guide weighs how hard each one is to sit through as a separate axis from quality.
How we treat ratings
Ratings quoted in articles are TMDB community scores at the time of writing, and we show the vote count alongside them, because a 7.6 from 20,000 votes and an 8.4 from 300 are not comparable claims.
Scores for recent releases are unreliable. In the first weeks after release, the people voting are the people who chose to buy a ticket immediately, which is the most favourably disposed audience a film ever has. Where an article covers something released recently, it says so explicitly. Our guide to movie ratings explains this in full.
Spoilers
Articles describe premises, technique, and effect. Where a film depends on a reveal, we say that the reveal exists and do not describe it, narrow it down, or hint at it. Any article that is explicitly spoiler-free says so at the top and holds to it throughout.
Content warnings
Where a film is genuinely distressing rather than merely intense, we say so before recommending it, and we say what kind of difficulty it is. A film being hard to watch is treated as separate information from a film being good.
Updates and corrections
Articles carry a published date and, where they have been revised, an updated date. Both are shown on the article and in its structured data. This site currently has 36 articles, published between 2026-04-14 and 2026-08-07.
Articles about recent releases go stale fastest, because ratings move and release dates change. Those are revised rather than left in place. Factual errors about a film's underlying data usually originate upstream at TMDB and are best corrected there, since this site reflects their database.
Machine-readable versions
The full text of every article is available as markdown for language models and other automated readers:
- /llms.txt is a curated index of the site.
- /llms-full.txt contains the complete text of every article.
- Appending
/llms.txtto any article URL returns just that article as markdown. - /feed.xml is an RSS feed of new articles.

Frequently asked questions
Who writes the articles on teasertrack?
Articles are written and maintained by the teasertrack editorial team. There is no sponsored content, no affiliate linking, and no paid placement in any ranking.
Where does the movie data come from?
All movie metadata, ratings, runtimes, cast, and artwork come from TMDB via its API. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Are the ratings in articles current?
No. Every rating quoted in an article is the TMDB community score at the time of writing, shown with its vote count. Scores drift, particularly for recent releases. The movie page for each film always shows the current figure.
How are rankings decided?
Rankings are editorial judgement, not a calculated score. Each article states the criteria it used at the top. We do not rank by box office, by aggregate rating, or by popularity, because none of those measure whether a film is worth your evening.
How do I report an error?
Factual errors about a film's data usually originate upstream at TMDB and are best corrected there, since this site reflects their database. Errors in our own writing should be reported through the contact route on our About page.
