Sort list of people by...(# of films watched, # of reviews, name, region, etc)
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…
18 votesGreat ideas, should be easy to add (aside from compatibility which is likely to be slightly more complex :).

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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?.

Why do we need the ability to clone lists?
My lists are really long: certain themes, festivals etc. I painstakingly add a lot of new and unknown flicks on TMDB. Having someone clone such a list kinda sucks. Maybe the ability to turn cloning off for certain lists would be an idea?
12 votesAny cloned list gives attribution to the original source list. We added this feature principally to prevent everyone that wants to rank Spielberg’s films from having to make the same list from scratch. We’ll consider allowing it to be disabled.

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.

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…

Sort Lists by Popularity While Editing
I really enjoy all the new ways we can sort lists when creating/editing them.
What I would LOVE would be the ability to sort lists by Film Popularity while creating/editing them.
