Recommendations
I think "recommendation" will be a killer feature of the site, even if it doesn't approach the philosophy behind letterboxd (being a social site).
Moreover now that you are at the beta stage, meaning fewer users, less probability of "friends", the recommendation of a movie based on my most liked movies or the highest rating, it'll be a great way of discovering new movies.
I know that technically it will very challenging or maybe you have even think about it.2,908 votesWe’re considering options around this at present. Thanks for your input, which is invaluable.

Match (and compare) members with similar taste
Add a match button to every profile so you can check immediately if somebody has the same taste as you.
You can use the like and/or rating of a movie to produce a list of similar movies/similar profile or a similar %.
2,299 votesYes, we’d like to do this, but it’s not a quick development job so we’ve not been able to prioritize it to date.

Private accounts (and/or private Reviews, Diary Entries and Ratings)
I'd like the option if keeping my account private, like how Twitter handles private accounts.

Follow/Subscribe to a List, Actor, Director, Studio or Tag
Besides liking a list, I think it would be nice if you can follow a list. Some lists will change or grow over time and it would be nice if people get a notification in their activity of it when they choose to follow a list.

Add TV shows?
Seems like a natural addition. Website keeps growing. Why not expand to add television shows? Have them as a separate category so they don't mix in with film ratings?

Add Favorite Actors/Directors on Profile page
The ability to list one's favorite films is great, especially when sharing preferences with friends; the opportunity to list favorite actors would be just as convenient. Adding a "favorite actors" category to a users profile page would be a fairly simple change that could really add a lot of personality to each account.

Collaborate on a list or watchlist
Allow a list being 'open' which then users can follow a list and add films to it. This will result in much more list activity and complete film lists.
Take for example http://letterboxd.com/pablos/list/special-powers/. I can easily add 10 more movies without any effort to make the list more complete.
Optional: to demotivate abuse, submitted films must be allowed by the list owner before being added.
1,024 votesWe love this idea and are formulating some plans around collaboration in general.

Suggest/recommend a movie to a friend
I imagine some kind of inbox or notification system where you can receive suggests from your friends. The film menu you see on mouse over can get an extra option "Suggest to friend..."

Add groups/clubs that users can join (and tag members when watching films together, etc)
Enable users to create groups they can join, such as "Filmspotting fans," "365 Movies in 365 Days" or groups by location, etc. sort of like Facebook groups.

Create lists of Cast, Crew and Studios
I often find that I want to list things other than films. It would be great if I could create a list of, for example, the Best Directors. Or list my Favourite Japanese Actresses. Or make a list of popular Animation Studios.

New System for Handling Films Marked as Adult
Recently, a lot of sexploitation and other classic exploitation and cult films have been removed from Letterboxd because someone on TMDB has been marking them as Adult. I think that the process of importing titles needs to be rethought, because it is drastically affecting my abilities to keep track of my lists and reviews, and it really hurts to see titles disappear after I have put effort into writing reviews and managing lists.
Something really needs to be done about this, because this has continued to be an issue since I first started using the site, and so far there…
618 votesLet’s do this: can someone in this thread compile a list of “important/historically significant” adult films that should be on LB. Then we can see about adding an exceptions list to our importer that uses this list.

Bulk tag editing and other enhancements
After obsessively adding/sorting/erasing/rewriting tags, I had a few suggestions I thought might improve their general function. I'm aware that some of these ideas might be impossibly complicated to implement, so this is more of a dream wish list:
Tag Editing: Rather than only create or delete tags, enable an editing function. It'd make things easier for correcting spelling errors or reclassifying tags that have been used hundreds of times.
Tag Folders: Allow users to subdivide tags into separate groups if they see fit. For example, I might discretely classify certain tags as 'genre', 'mood', 'actors', or 'miscellaneous', retaining 'all' as…

Plex integration
When you watch a movie in Plex it marks it as watched here and at the end, it gives you an option to review/rate it which shows up here and that you can toggle on or off.
Just a thought, but not sure whether it's possible or not. Seems likely and it'd certainly urge me to permanently use the service.
Stunning work so far! Keep it up.

Trakt.tv integration
Pull our movie viewing history from Trakt into Letterboxd. Maybe also sync our ratings and/or reviews between the services...

We now have support for browsing by country and language. As some films have multiple languages listed, browsing French-language films (https://letterboxd.com/films/language/french/ as an example) will show English-language films as well (where those films have portions of dialog in French). We’d like to improve this in the future to be able to show films whose principal language is French.

add an option to have tied films on ranked lists, with both having the same rank number.
For example, you could have
1. Citizen Kane
2. The Godfather
2. The Godfather Part II
3. Blade RunnerThis shows that the two are considered to be equal on the list and doesn't mess up the numbering for the rest of the list.

Watchlist: allow sorting/ranking/categorizing and notes
In the 'films' section of your profile you can order your films by popularity, could it be possible to integrate this function into the 'watchlist'. Tis could be handy for days you have no inspiration on what to watch.?
306 votesWatchlists can now be sorted into several orders. Manual control and categorization still in the works.

Achievements/Badges
As with other "logging" sites badges would be nice. These badges add a bit of fun and competition to the movie watching experience. These could be badges about the content (Having watched all movies by Hitchcock, Having Watched Every Start Trek Movie...) about the amount (You have watched more then 100 movies this month, You have watched more than 1000 movies in total) or about the topic (Sci-Fi badge for watching at least 25 sci-fi movies and such things). I think it would be nice.

XBMC Plugin
I'd love for letterboxd to have an xbmc plugin (www.xbmc.org) which would allow to import your movie collection as well as collect seen/unseen data automatically. The option to rate a movie aftter watching it could be added too! Take a look at www.trakt.tv they have such a plugin and i think it would be awesome if letterboxd had something similar! Thanks
PS I`m typing this from my couch, in font of my win7/xbmc htpc powered home theater ;)276 votes -
Make collaborative lists with friends or have some sort of group page feature
It would be very nice if you could have collaborative movie lists like Spotify does with their playlists. Or if there was some sort of group page feature where u and other people in the group could also make recommendations postings to each other or something similar.
