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?

Apple TV: provide streaming media links to films
I really like on the AppleTV version where on a films page it provides an iTunes link if it's available where if you click on it it opens the films page on iTunes for you to buy or play.
I really wish you had links for streaming services like that, where it would open the app and start playing the film. Even if it was just Netflix and Prime video.
11 votesWe’re not able to do this on Apple TV until those apps publish a URL format that we can use to play specific content. We’d love to as well!

Include release year in activity feed
With so many remakes out, it'd be much more helpful to see that someone is rating Ghostbusters (2016) instead of just Ghostbusters. Having the year of release show up after all titles in the activity feed would be helpful.

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.
10 votesWe’d like to add these if TMDb does. That’s up to their schedule and priorities however.

Full statistics
Is it possible to expand most watched categories to the full list? More than the top 20 stars, directors, etc. I would it to have a complete list of most watched stars, directors.
10 votesWe’re looking into this. It’s expensive to compute, but we’d like to add it if we can!

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.

Update related activity item when a rating changes
If by accident I've rated a movie, next time I add the correct rating, all of the activity (either on my lists or on a friend feed) will not reflect the update. This is really annoying and has been on for ages. I'd hope it would be fixed by now with the new app.

Import reviews as notes in a list
When making year-end lists, i often already have reviewed the films in the list earlier in the year using the diary entries. I wish there a way to link those diary entries to the list entries, instead of writing additional stuff in the Notes feature.
9 votesWe don’t have an automated way to do this, but you can manually create links using HTML tags.

Add Flickchart feature to compare movies.
It would be amazing to be able to compare all your seen movies to get the best ranking ever as it works in Flickchart.

Stop people reviewing and liking films that haven't been released yet
Seeing this a lot of these at the moment. People using an upcoming film's page to review its trailer or to say something like "THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME EEEEEEEEEEK!" or some such thing.
9 votesThis is tricky: there are legitimate ways in which you can see a film prior to its release date (previews, test screenings, festivals, etc). We have considered adding an arbitrary window prior to a film’s release date in which you can record a watch of the film, but we need to be careful as this can encourage users to alter release dates on TMDb in order to circumvent such a measure.

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.

Sorting Options - Most Recent Reviews
Can we get a way to sort reviews on the homepage based on most recent as opposed to just popular? I'd like to see different reviews from people as opposed to the same top reviewers with a massive friend list.
9 votesThanks for the suggestion. At present the best way to see all recent reviews from friends is to use the Pro account setting in your Activity feed to only show reviews.

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!
9 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!

iOS app: remember position when opening films from carousel view
On the iPhone app, when you're in carousel view, and you click into a movie, then click "back", it should return you to where you left off in the carousel. Right now, doing that returns you the general list page, and I have to re-enter the carousel and re-find my spot.

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.

Allow browsers to save login informations
Since I started using Letterboxd, which dates for years now...I always found it frustrating that every time I'm on a new computer (or I formatted mine), I have to enter login details instead of just being able to save them using my browser (Firefox in my case) and sync them so I can just use the auto-fill capability of Firefox to get them ready.
7 votesOur sign in forms allow 1Password and Mac OS to auto-fill. Not sure why Firefox would be any different. Please try saving from this stand-alone sign-in form: (http://letterboxd.com/sign-in/) — you must be signed out first.
