Imdb Watchlist Random Movie Generator Extension

Chrome extension that generates a random movie the imdb user's watchlist. Works better if you scroll through your list before clicking on the generate button, so it can allow the titles to load into the window.

This extension is not affiliated nor makes money from IMDB, just a tool to help indecisive people like me pick a movie from their watchlist to watch next.

The extension does not use any user data, as it only reads and updates objects directly on the browser's DOM.
