Everyone join, I’ve become a bit obsessed with it

I’ve always wanted to:
- have a list of every movie I’ve ever seen
- have a place where I can post different ranking lists of movies
- have a list of my 100 favorites movies

And this makes it super easy. Tracking every movie you’ve seen sounds daunting but again, this makes t simple. I just scroll through lists on here and click the watches icon as I go. I’m stil finding a lot of leftovers that I haven’t added yet but my full list is starting to feel complete

My favorite thing is probably the list making feature. Me/Jacob/Boc like making movie lists in general and this makes it way easier. I’ve been making top 10’s of each year and ranking Tarantino movies, Spielberg movies, etc

IT’S FUN DO IT

Every Thursday they do a community challenge list. Each week is a theme, like two weeks ago the theme was creature feature so you make your own personal list of favorite creature features. Then at the end of the week they tally everyone’s up and make a ranking of the most mentioned movies

This week it’s movie monologues: https://letterboxd.com/showdown/memorable-monologue/

It’d be fun to all do this on our own and then post a link to our lists here on Thursdays

Is this an app or website? Do you join a group so you can monitor your friends?

It’s both, the app is really intuitive so that’s nice

You don’t join a group, you follow each other so you’ll see a feed of each other’s reviews and ratings and lists etc

The only thing I don’t like is the name

nice. I'll join up today/tonight. Hopefully the friends search is easy.

What do you mean by friends search?

So, this is basically any movie you've watched, I assume. Not just in 2017 like the movie tracker thread?

Exactly. I’m trying to get a full list of every movie I’ve seen straight through

The Diary option lets you add a movie onto a timeline of sorts as soon as you watch it. So you have a calendar basically of everything you watch this year. Seems like a cool feature but I probably won’t use it

For my lists/ratings I always go personal favorite>>what I think might technically be better

I know The Godfather is technically one of the best movies I’ve seen but I choose Mrs Doubtfire over it ever time sry

I’m sure a good number of people here have watched more than me tbh. I feel like I slowed way down on movies in the past...10 years in favor of all the really great tv shows that’ve been popping up

But like I said in the movie tracker thread I’ve committed to watching more movies this year. I wanna catch up on a lot that I really should’ve seen by now

Buffney @ 12/2/2018 12:29

I'm just going to add movies randomly and maybe figure out lists later.

That makes it way easier imo. I added as many movies as I could before I started lists. Then when I’d do like...top 10 of 2016, I’d open another Letterboxd tab and filter by 2017 and show only movies that I’ve seen. Makes it really easy

I definitely recommebd clicking that eyeball icon and fading movies you’ve seen

Oh one thing I don’t like is that they have some TV things on here. And random shorts. Like they have all the Black Mirror episodes and The Night Of and the Pixar shorts before movies and stuff. I think that’s dumb. I’m not gonna mark any of those as watched

Ahoda @ 12/2/2018 12:33

I am just going to add movies I watch from today on. I don't feel like adding 500+ movies I know I've watched the past 10-15 years

It seems overwhelming but you’ll see how easy it is eventually

Buffney @ 12/2/2018 12:35

what eyeball icon?

Somewhere at the top on the options bar, you’ll see it. It dims all the movies you’ve seen which helps a lot

I’m gonna watch something after work but idk what yet. THATS WHERE YOU ALL COME IN

Added random movies onto my watchlist that I’m interested in from the past three years. Post one recommendation from this list below and I’ll randomize between the few that are posted

Hey!!!!!
