Letterboxd needs to implement an automated system that can notify users when a film they have watched, logged or added to a list is removed from the website.

Sometimes, titles are removed from Letterboxd only to be added back, such as the 'Kenzo World' commercial. If I remember correctly, several hundred viewers had logged the ad when it first released on YouTube, including myself. It was only when I downloaded my Letterboxd archive that I noticed the film's URL field in the .csv file was empty, meaning it had probably been removed from Letterboxd at some point and was no longer in my profile. I then searched for it on the site, and found the title was actually still on Letterboxd, but now with only very few people who had marked it as watched. It's possible that the second 'Kenzo World' title was an entirely different entity, but notifying users that a title they have watched has been removed allows them to appeal against its removal or make a note of it so they can keep an eye out for its return in the future. If you are feeling extra generous, you could even create a private page that shows a user all the titles they have watched that are no longer on the site, and provide a link to their TMDb pages :-)

The same goes for users who create large, comprehensive lists on the site. If any title is removed from Letterboxd, many list creators have to cross-check the entire list to find the missing title, like LB user Jayce Fryman had to do with his 'TSPDT Starting List'.

I think this would be a very useful notification feature to have that users can opt in for as Letterboxd continues to grow, so I hope you will consider it.

The Watched Films page doesn't have a search box...and I wish it did. It would make it awesome.

I want to be able to go to my watched films page and type in, "genre:horror" and see a list of all the horror films I've seen, so I can actually answer the question, "what's the best horror movie you've ever seen?"

I want to be able to type in, "of the dead" and see all the films I've seen that have "of the dead" in their title.

I want to be able to type in "year:1959" to find out what movies I've seen that were released in 1959. Or even "year:1959-1969" for a range of years.

Lastly, when I've completely forgotten the name of something, I want to be able to type in something crazy like, "genre:horror year:1959-1969 flowers" and have the results come back with, "Oh, you mean the Horror film Day of the Triffids from 1962 in which giant walking flowers eat people? Here you go."

This would be really awesome. Seriously.

P.S. It doesn't actually have to formulate it's responses like I did, it could say something way more computer-y like, "Day of the Triffids (1962) matched tags: horror flowers 1962". You know.

I'm slowly adding 20 years' worth of film logs, working backward from the present. This makes the most sense for various reasons (in that it's gonna take me close to a year to finish at my pace of a month per day), but it causes a rating problem.

Example: I saw MARGARET a third time and my rating went up from 4 to 4.5. That got logged first. Working back to last September when I saw it the other two times, I accurately logged those ratings as 4. But right now your default rating seems to be whatever the most recent rating is, even in cases where that rating chronologically precedes others. So then I have to go change the rating back.

It should be a simple fix to have the default rating be the most chronologically recent one rather than the most recently added one.

On the "People" page, just make it so we can sort the overall list of people by the # of films they've watched or reviewed, maybe the region of the world they are in (once that is more integrated into the site), etc. When I go to the people page I keep seeing the same set of "popular" users and it kind of becomes a feedback loop that prevents me from finding other users to follow except randomly through reviews/comments.

(The best way to sort people by would be a "% compatibility" option, if that is ever built on the site).

Sometimes I go to see a film in the theater that goes beyond midnight or I watch a film at home that goes beyond midnight. Then, when I write up my review I am able to back date the review date to the day during which I began the film. Thats cool.

However, when you rate the film it will time-stamp it as the day during which you completed it and not allow you to back date it. then, your review date and rating date do not match.

can you please fix this? can you find a way to back date the rating date or give the option to remove a timestamp on the ratings? it is very bothersome.
