Add TV shows?
Seems like a natural addition. Website keeps growing. Why not expand to add television shows? Have them as a separate category so they don't mix in with film ratings?

Communicate with your members more often about which of these features you're actually working on.
I love the website and app and I pay for a membership to support it. There are so many highly upvoted suggestions that have been treated with radio silence for years. They're often discussed on the Letterboxd subreddit too. The Letterboxd News blog is more of a film blog which can be fun, but it would be great to get some insight about the platform itself and what's in the pipeline.

Follow actors/directors/etc and add to profile page
Similar to how you can follow artists and bands on Spotify. It would be nice if we could follow our favorite actors, directors etc, and also have a "favorite actors", "favorite directors" and so on as we do with top four favorite movies on our profile page.

TV-Series
I understand you have chosen not to include TV-series in Letterboxd. Although I have yet to find a reasoning for this decision. Not in the FAQ nor here. Is there a logical reasoning behind the decision to leave out TV-series or is it simply not what Letterboxd is supposed to be?
Cheers, a happy user

Custom backdrops for Patron profiles
Patron profiles should be able to change their backdrops to a film they don't have in their favorite list. Customizing profiles is a big thing, but people rarely get a new favorite movie. Placing a movie you only think is okay on your number 1 spot because of a nicer backdrop seems very impractical.

Shareable Private Lists With Friends
You should be able to privately share one of your lists with select users but not make it fully Public.
I want to make a list of movies to recommend to a friend but I don’t want anyone and everyone to have access to see it.

PRIVACY FEATURES
Why are there still hardly any privacy features on your site? Why can’t we choose to turn comments on or off on reviews? Why can’t we choose to turn likes on or off on reviews? Why can’t we post private reviews? Why can’t we have private profiles? Oh it’s because of some caching issues right? Lol, come on, stop using such a flimsy excuse. Websites 10 years ago had these features. So many good people end up leaving because they don’t want to interact with your toxic offence-whore user base. Sort it out? Nah because of cache issues.

Include TV shows
Me and several other users I know would love it if there was a separate section for TV shows. We love the app and just want to spend more time using it and discovering new shows.

Little bug
The "Films" section in my profile was at 680 or so and now it says I have 654 films watched. Just like that, from one day to another. It happened both in the website and in the iOS app.
It's a small bug but now it's impossible for me to find the missing movies and :(
Just thought you should check that! Thanks :)

wordpress widget showing diary
I've seen other topics on this, but I'm wondering if there have been any developments on making a widget for the sidebars/footers of Wordpress websites? Personally I would love to have a widget showing the latest entries of the diary or something similar.

Add list time length
I think it would be such a nice feature to see the total runtime of a list consisting of multiple movies. Lets say you've organized a watchlist for the coming months, and at the side of the list you could see the total hours and minutes it will take you to finish said list. Also the same feature would be nice on your watchlist too. So you can see how many hours of movies you have there.

language
Translate the website to different languages. I see a lot of brazilians and lots of other people writing reviews in english just because the site is exclusively in this language.
Letterboxd has a considerable amout of users outside the English-language world and they should be aknowledged with translations for the website.

Allow us to review TV Shows as well as films!
I just watched The Bodyguard on Netflix and really wanted to review it. However slowly realised that TV Shows (other than GOT are not on Letterboxd! This would be a very exciting feature so I can have a list of everything I watch. Thank you.

TMDb import is missing backdrop
Hi, I imported my film (TMDb ID: 532440) into Letterboxd a few month back, but for some reason the backdrop image from TMDb isn’t showing up as the backdrop for the film on Letterboxd.

Adding a Statistics Section
I have tracked so many movies that I have watched, but I am not a Pro user. It would be very great and I would be very appreciative if this statistics option was available for Non-Pro users. I speak for all of us whom are on budget and do not want to purchase the Pro Feature as of yet due to personal reasons. But us movie lovers still want to receive the Statistics.
It would be great if it were to be condensed at least showing less stuff then the Pro Users, but we wanna see number of hours. For…

Studios info in stats
As a new pro member, I'm feeling that could be a new graphic that shows a percentage of which studios I've watched the most movies.

Include ID as column in exports
Without this, the exports are basically useless for anything other than re-importing to Letterboxd. Including the TMDb ID in a column would be a simple change and a huge win for giving users control of their own data.

Hello, could you add these miniseries to the database?
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/75208-devilman-crybaby
(This used to be on LB but was removed for some reason. It’s listed as a miniseries on Wikipedia and Netflix but if it’s against LB rules for some other reason that’s cool.)https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/42882-bubblegum-crisis
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/71216
Also, is there any less bothersome way to suggest miniseries additions?
