Stats for Lists
I think it would be fun to see some stats on the list pages (in addition to the percentage watched). In particular, it would be really cool to see either a ratings spread for how I've rated the movies I've watched on a given list, and/or an average rating. That way, I could compare, for example, how much I agree with the Sight and Sound list vs. the AFI list, or how much I liked movies in 2010 vs. 2012. Director/Actor stats like the ones on the stats pages could also be fun, as well as info about repeat watches,…

Later you can include to search/sort by Genre, Country etc...
Rateyourmusic.com got this feature and i think its pretty cool and helpfull.
In your 2012 Review Page you already posted the highest (and lowest) rated Films of the Year, so i hope you also like this idea as a full feature.17 votesWe do have a popularity view with friends: http://letterboxd.com/films/popular/with/friends/ — this is sorted by the amount of activity on films rather than average rating, which we’re considering adding.

voting on lists
Allow lists to double as polls, where if you set it so, users can vote for the order on lists.

UK Release Dates
Is there any way to introduce a feature where you choose what country you're based in and the system then displays release date info for THAT country rather than automatically using the US or earliest date?
So I'd choose my country as U.K and then the release date for, say, 'Inside Llewyn Davis' would appear as 2014, not 2013.
This would be a massive help as the best alternative I've found to personalising release dates is starting a private list and tagging every single film individually with its UK release date.
17 votesThis is not an immediate priority for a couple of reasons: a) the TMDb data for non US-territories is fairly patchy, meaning a lot of films would effectively have no release date if we allowed switching to, for example, UK dates and b) this would affect the cacheability of parts of the site in a way that complicates our model.

Click your username at the top of the page to take you to your profile.
I realise that the link to my profile appears when I hover, but it is an extra step…
16 votesThis was the original way it was built but with the slight delay when opening the menu, it seemed more confusing to support this. We’ll re-evaluate.

See date when last logged
I would love to open a movie page for a film I have seen and easily see what date I saw it last. I.e. under the watched/loved/watchlist-symbols, it could be a small text-line showing when I last logged the film.
16 votesFor now, you can click the eye icon (if it says Logged or Reviewed below it) and see a list of all activity dates.

Change up the popular reviews somehow
Currently I see the same thing every time I log on. It's very boring. The popular review should be "Popular this week" or something otherwise these reviews will be in the same order forever.

Browse Collections
A year plus later, I'm just discovering that you added "Related Films," i.e. Collections. Thanks for that! (FYI: I think I've missed seeing them because I rarely scroll down below the recent/popular reviews. Might be worth moving that one row of Related Films above the Reviews. Food for thought.)
Now that we have Collections, I'd love to browse them. At minimum, I'd like the ability to browse all Collections you're tracking. Ideally, I'd love the ability to sort descending that Collections browsing page by average rating of the films comprising said collections. So if the 8 harry potter movies have…
15 votesYes, we’re pulling from TMDb so we have no input into what constitutes a collection and what doesn’t. They’ve published their guidelines here: https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/collection#59f751209251416e71000057
We’ll think about a browsing option.

Most watched movies in a year
When you guys are compiling the 2014 Year in Review you should have a most watched films in a year section for the member who watched the most movies this year.
14 votesMight do. This often turns out to be joke/comedy accounts and suchlike, but maybe we can find out a way to make it legit.

Remove film from list through list and/or film page
I think adding an option to remove a film from one of my lists or seeing an option to do so when I go to the film page would be really effective instead of going through the list editing page every time. Even something simple like an X in the "add to list" menu or in the top right of the poster that removes it would be great.

use a different algorithm for "Highest Rated" stars and directors
My "Highest Rated" stars list is filled with stunt people and costumed little persons. My "Highest Rated" directors list is heavy with animators from yesteryear, most of whose works I've never seen.
With all due respect to the above persons, most of them have made these lists because I've given one or two high ratings to a specific work or two, but ~not~ to their collected ~body~ of works — leaving my list rather uninformative for my liking.
I realize you also have a "Most Watched" setting — but then I'm just left with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg — who…

Option to Sort by Number of Fans
Sort by Number of Fans, movies with a lot of fans are usually good and worthy of watching. Fans = number of people who put it in their favourite.

Enter Date Manually in Field
Rather than having to use the date picker, would it be possible to type the date in the field?
13 votesGood suggestion. It’s funny, for a long time that field only accepted type input, but the date picker has removed that ability. We’ll take a look at this. (Note, you can click the month/year button to quickly find other months/years.)

Collapse similar activities
A heavy percentage of my Activity tab space is used up by people who go on review-liking binges or watchlisting binges. If, say, all the movies one person watchlisted that day were collapsed into a simple "Lucy added 18 movies to her watchlist. Expand", the tab would be easier to browse and I'd feel encouraged to add more friends, as I could genuinely keep up with their film habits.
The diary and discovery features of Letterboxd are appreciated, but ultimately it's a social network and if I can't socialize properly then I won't be making much use of it.
13 votesWe’re considering possible approaches to this.

fix rank by average rating to put films with no rating last and add a minimum number of ratings option.
For example, when you go to http://letterboxd.com/films/decade/1980s/genre/horror/by/rating/, you'll notice that after a few pages, there are films with no views or ratings that are still showing up before some movies with thousands of views. It would also be nice if, when sorting by rating, there was an option to filter out films with below a certain number of ratings or views so that movies with only a couple of high ratings aren't showing up so high.

Connect the letterboxd account with themoviedb.org so information gets updated both ways.
As the movie scrape/information already comes from tMDB, perhaps giving an option to link the accounts in some form or fashion, so both sites can exchange voting info, watchlists, ratings and reviews aso. I think perhaps both sites could benefit from this.

give a way to note why film is on watch list
"I want to watch a film" is not a boolean. The 'why' is important. Did a friend recommend it? Did it get good reviews? Does it have that actor I'm stalking in it?.

Create a search engine that can find common movies between multiple actors or crew
I want to type in multiple actors and see what films they have been in together. Or see how many times a director collaborated with the same actor.
