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?
9 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.

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.

A link to launch the netflix streaming player (when available)... or buy from amazon or iTunes.
Monetize and make instantly watching the movie easy!
9 votesYou can add to your Netflix instant queue right now, by authing with Netflix on the Edit Settings page. We plan to improve our Netflix handling so it knows availability ahead of time. iTunes links are in the action menu on a poster, Amazon coming soon!

Import from IMDb with RSS
I was thinking, correct me if I am mistaken, that an automatic import feature connect with the IMDb RSS would be nice. If it is allowed of course.
Something like this:
IMDb offer a RSS for movies you have rated. This feed has both the movie title and the rating included. What if there was a place in the Letterboxd user account where you could paste this IMDb RSS feed link, and it would automatically import the newest additions when?9 votesSounds good, we’ll take a look as a future enhancement.

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,…

Show last date watched on movie page
I was wondering if it was possible to show the last date you watched the film on its homepage?
8 votesThe best we have now is that we show a link to your review (or activity if there is more than one diary entry). Click the “You have logged this [n times]” text in the right-hand panel to see this.

Compare Unwatched Films with friends
Solve the problem of "What haven't you seen?"
Two friends wander the store but can never find something they both haven't seen. A list of films filtered as unwatched for two users could be sorted by popularity and save the day.
From this point it shouldn't be too hard to expand the formula to deal with the multiple roommate or group movie night problem. Trying to find a film that you and 5 of your friends haven't seen would wonderful!
8 votesThe best option we have at this time is to visit the Watchlist of a friend and use the “Hide Watched” filter to only show films that you haven’t seen. Obviously this doesn’t work for multiple people!

display some technical specs on film pages
Technical specs are displayed on IMBD but not on TMDB. Can this be done, either by pushing for implementation on TMDB or something else? I don't really care about sorting films by their specs (except runtime which already exists) but I'd like LB to show a few things like original aspect ratio, color, sound mix. Maybe even film format/digital format but that's complicated because lots of films use both or multiple formats.
7 votesWe’d like to add these if TMDb does. That’s up to their schedule and priorities however.

Update Activity when a rating changes
When I rate a movie and give them like 3 1/2 stars and then decide to give it 4 stars my activity will show the 3 1/2 stars instead of the 4. So it would be nice if the rating will be automatically updated in the activity feed.

Make the 'popular lists' feature less boring
At the bottom of every film page is a feature called 'popular lists', which shows us user-created lists that include the film in question. Nice idea, but it's boring. The problems is that so many users have created mega-lists of hundreds or thousands of films, which means that every list in 'popular lists' is called something like "The 5000 best films ever made", or "Every film that ever got nominated for an Oscar in any category" or "Every film beginning with 'B'".
This is boring because the films in these lists are not closely related to the actual film on…

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.

Allow Pro or Patron users to generate stats for their lists, like a summary of ratings, countries, actors, directors.
On the list view page for a single list, allow Pro or Patron members to generate a stats page similar to the pages generated for your diary entries.
Stats could include:
- Count of film years/decades
- Percent watched and in watchlist (you sort of have this already)
- Countries (with map)
- Languages
- Ratings summary and averages
- Most / least popular, watched and highest / lowest rated
- Directors
- Actors7 votes -
Make it easier check off movies you've seen
You should just be able to click anywhere on a movie poster to add the film to your watched list. As an Android user, its very frustrating using your site. The eye symbol didn't show up unless you click the image which brings you to another page.
7 votesNote that you can long-press a poster to mark a film as watched without leaving the page you’re on. We’ll bring our “Fade Watched” option to Android as soon as we can.

Most Watched Female Stars/Directors
It would be interesting to see which female stars i have watched the most
7 votesThis feature relies on gender data being present for a high percentage of actor entries. We’ll monitor this and add when this data is available.

Start tracking people who are creating multiple accounts
I've seen evidence that some members are creating sock puppet accounts to 'like' their reviews and bump up their popularity and profile on the site. Is this practice going to be traced?

import imdb user description (comments) as notes to letterboxd
When I import a csv from imdb, all data comes along, including my descriptions ("short reviews"), as I can see after the matching process ends, but they are not saved on the lists, for some reason. Is it any way to make that happen?
Thanks, this is a very promising site.6 votesSeems like something we could easily add as an option. We’ll take a look.

Convert Letterboxd CSVs to IMDb format
I need my watchlist in IMDb format for this service (https://www.werstreamt.es/) to check where the movies are available.
I didn't find a way to convert it, so could you provide a tool for that? Because nearly every site uses the IMDb list format.Another possibility would be that the "Service" filter supports other countries besides the US. Amazon Prime and Netflix Germany in my case.
6 votesWe don’t have any immediate plans to convert our format, however this should be a reasonably straightforward process with an app like Excel.
