Favourite films as rated by my friends
- Favourite films as rated by my friends / all members
- Dropdown menu: Sorted by Year, Decade, all Time
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.

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.

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.

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?.

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.

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.
12 votesWe’d love to offer an advanced search of this type at some point, yes!

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…
12 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.

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.

Filter reviews by language
Any chance of an option to filter out reviews based on language? I dont want to see reviews in Spanish or German as i cant understand these languages

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.

Fix the Time-Stamping of Rating Date
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…
11 votesThanks for these examples. Where specifically do you then check for/see the out-of-sync dates?

Separate categories for live music and comedy specials
I'm trying to browse doco's and every page is crowded by live music, live comedy and TV specials, how can we filter this stuff out?
10 votesThere is no useful tagging applied at TMDb to separate these titles from regular comedies or films about music. Please send a support request to TMDb to add these categories, as top-level genres or via another, similar flag that we can support.
