Letterboxd is a social network for film fans who like to track what they watch and share opinions along the way. Think of it as a personal movie diary mixed with a discovery engine: you can rate films, write reviews, follow friends (and filmmakers), and build lists for every mood—“best thrillers,” “comfort movies,” “movies I swear I’ll finally watch,” and more.
What makes Letterboxd different from general social platforms is focus. The entire experience is built around films, so the community norms revolve around logging, discussion, and curation—not just hype. For many users, it becomes a long-running record of their viewing history that’s easy to revisit and share.
