About CineSort
We're passionate film fans on a mission to untangle the web of movie franchises with all their reboots, prequels and alternate timelines.
Our Story
Like many film enthusiasts, we've experienced the frustration of sitting down for a movie marathon only to spend twenty minutes on Google trying to figure out the "correct" watch order.
We realized that movie franchises have become wonderfully complex storytelling universes, but this complexity often comes at the cost of accessibility. When a friend asks "I want to get into Marvel movies, where do I start?" the answer shouldn't require a PhD in franchise studies.
CineSort was born from our love of both great storytelling and the art of curation. We believe that every film series has multiple valid viewing experiences, whether you're a newcomer looking for the essentials or a completionist wanting to experience every timeline and alternate reality.
What We Do
Curate Watch Orders
We research each franchise extensively, considering fan opinions, critical consensus, and narrative coherence to create viewing paths for different preferences and time commitments.
Organize Complex Series
We break down intimidating franchises into digestible sub-series, helping you understand which films connect and which can stand alone, so you can dive in without feeling overwhelmed.
Explain Our Choices
Every watch order comes with explanations of why we've organized it that way, who it's designed for, and what kind of viewing experience you can expect.
Stay Spoiler-Free
We're committed to preserving the magic of discovery. Our descriptions and order explanations are crafted to guide without revealing plot points or surprises.
Our Philosophy
"There's no single 'right' way to experience a film series. Some viewers want the complete journey with every detour and subplot. Others prefer a streamlined path to the essential story. Both approaches are valid, and both deserve thoughtful curation."
We don't believe in gatekeeping or film snobbery. Whether you're discovering these stories for the first time or revisiting old favorites, we want to enhance your viewing experience, not dictate it.
Our goal is simple: to give you the tools and information you need to craft your perfect movie night, marathon weekend, or month-long franchise deep dive.

For Fellow Film Fans
We know what it's like to have that one friend who's never seen your favorite film series and asks where to start. We understand the joy of introducing someone to a beloved franchise and the responsibility of getting them hooked with the right entry point.
We've been in heated discussions about whether Machete Order is the best way to watch Star Wars. We've spent hours mapping out the X-Men timeline and arguing about whether the original trilogy or the First Class films provide the better entry point.
Most importantly, we believe that the best watch order is the one that helps you fall in love with great storytelling. That's what CineSort is all about.
