// The problem

You've been here before

You open Netflix. Scroll. Ten minutes later. Twenty minutes later. Thirty minutes later you've either picked something mediocre or given up entirely and rewatched something safe.

The films you actually want — the forgotten gems, the underground classics, the ones that rewire how you think — are buried under algorithms designed to surface the same ten trending titles.

The Vault fixes that. 900+ sci-fi films, searchable by decade, subgenre, mood, pacing, complexity, and streaming platform. Find exactly what you're craving in under a minute.

Why it's worth watching

One of the most visually stunning films ever made, and a sequel that improves on the original in almost every way. Roger Deakins' cinematography won the Oscar — every frame is a painting. This is the rare blockbuster that trusts you to sit with it. Give it that patience.

Bob's take

"Watch it on the biggest screen you have, in the dark, with no interruptions. This film is an event. Treat it like one."

"The hidden gems section alone was worth it. I've discovered more good sci-fi in the last month than in the previous two years of browsing Netflix."

"Started with Blade Runner 2049 on the 'If you liked this' feature and ended up watching seven films I'd never heard of. Every single one was excellent."

Questions

What exactly do I get?

Lifetime access to a private web app containing 900+ curated sci-fi films with full metadata — Bob's personal ratings, IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes scores, streaming availability for 9 platforms, subgenre/mood/pacing/complexity tags, "similar movies" recommendations, and a personal watchlist tracker. Access it from any device, anytime.

What makes this different from IMDb or Letterboxd?

Three things. First, it's curated by one person with deep sci-fi knowledge — not crowdsourced averages. You get Bob's personal ratings, takes, and "why it's worth watching" for every film. Second, the filter system is built specifically for sci-fi fans — 30+ subgenres, mood filtering, pacing, complexity, and streaming availability all in one place. Third, it's a personal tracker — add your ratings, notes, and watchlist alongside the curated data.

Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?

One-time payment. $27 once, lifetime access. New films are added regularly at no extra cost. No monthly fees, no hidden charges, no upsells.

How do I access it after purchase?

After purchase on Gumroad, head to the Vault web app and enter the email you bought with — we email you a secure magic link to log in instantly. No passwords, no codes. Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile — no app download required.

Can I suggest films to be added?

Yes — members can submit film suggestions through a monthly feedback form. The most-requested films get priority in the next update.

Is there a refund policy?

Since this is a digital product with instant access, I can't offer traditional refunds. But if you're genuinely unhappy with your purchase, reach out and I'll make it right.
