Letterboxd — Your life in film

Introducing an “all-time stats” feature for Pro and Patron members.

Filtering, filing and shortcuts have been added in our latest feature update.

Another superhero film starring a lady, another round of mass-downvoting from a small, grumpy corner of the internet. Happy International Women’s Day, everyone!

We’re thrilled to announce that after fifteen months of public beta, Letterboxd is no longer invitation-only. Today, deep in the Letterboxd HQ bunker, we threw the switch to remove the invitation code requirement during sign-up: Letterboxd is now open to all!

Hello! Here’s a quick note about some new updates we have for you in the run up to the end of the year, with apologies to David Fincher.

Our newest product update includes improvements to adding films, watched percentages for lists, and more.

It’s that time of year, folks. We give thanks to you for your love of film and your support of Letterboxd by discounting our Pro and Patron memberships.

Today we’re pleased to announced our transition from private to public beta. All pages on Letterboxd are now publicly visible (except for those deemed private by their owners), and all new users are able to send invitations to friends immediately following sign up. Letterboxd will remain invitation-only for a period, to enable us to control our rate of growth.

Since launching our private beta almost a year ago, our most-requested feature (by quite some margin) has been a better mobile experience. Today we’re pleased to announce the first step: a mobile-optimized view of Letterboxd for visitors on handheld devices.

In June of this year, Netflix announced via its API Developer blog that it was discontinuing what remained of its public API service for all but a handful of services. Letterboxd was not—and despite our best efforts in the intervening months, is not—one of those services. The upshot of this decision is that from November 14, we won’t have any means of updating our availability data to stay current with Netflix’s content library.

We’ve previously allowed you to sort lists and other film views by the weighted average rating of each film, and to sort your list of rated films by your own rating. This week we’ve added the ability to sort all views by your rating, or by another member’s rating if you’re looking at one of their pages.

Two neat new features for our Pro and Patron members today:

A check-in on community, moderation and what we’re doing behind the scenes to enable better conversations. 

We’re starting the year by ticking off a much requested wishlist feature for a lot of you. Our iOS and Android apps now support push notifications, so you can finally free yourselves from the tyranny of inboxes full of comment notification emails!

Happy Oscar day! We’ve just pushed a minor update to the site that addresses the following issues:

Announcing more tools to help keep all our members safe and sound.

We spend a lot of time looking at our TVs, and since the announcement of an App Store for Apple TV, we’ve pretty much wanted just one thing: our Letterboxd watchlist up large on the biggest screen in the house, right when we need it.

We’ve added a new ‘HQ’ membership tier for film-related organizations—from festivals to arthouse theaters to podcasts, and everyone in between—to make it easier for them to participate in our community.

A curated selection of adult films comes to Letterboxd, along with a new opt-in feature to see associated diary entries and reviews.
