Letterboxd

Track every film you watch and share your cinematic life

Letterboxd is a film-focused social network wrapped in a clean, streamlined interface that turns your viewing habits into a living diary. Once you’re signed in, the home experience revolves around an activity feed, where you see what your friends and favorite critics are watching, rating, and reviewing in real time. It feels a bit like a hybrid between a journal and a social timeline, tailored entirely to movies.

The core strength of Letterboxd lies in its detailed film pages. Each title includes artwork, trailers, cast and crew information, genres, studios, and a dense layer of community ratings and reviews. From there, you can quickly log a viewing, add a star rating, and write your own review or brief note, then return later to edit past entries if your opinion changes.

Lists are another standout feature. You can create personal lists—like watchlists, yearly roundups, or thematic marathons—and browse curated or popular lists made by others. Sorting and filtering options help you dig through the massive catalog, while robust search lets you find films, people, reviews, lists, and members with ease.

Profiles offer a pleasing snapshot of each user’s taste, with diaries, favorite films, and recent activity all in one place. Following or blocking members is straightforward, and Pro subscribers get extra feed filters for finer control over what they see.

Performance is generally smooth and navigation is intuitive, though some advanced web features and stats are missing or feel a bit tucked away. Still, as a dedicated companion for tracking, discovering, and discussing films, Letterboxd delivers a rich, focused experience that’s hard to beat for movie enthusiasts.
