Right on, I use likes somewhat subjectively and randomly. Especially since I imported imdb ratings originally so I have a zillion movies without likes on them, more about the star ratings. One thing I find myself doing is putting a like on a 3.5/5 movie I really liked, or 3/5 I'm fond of etc, to give it a little extra oomph. I'd like to just do buckets of popcorn etc Gregg Turkington style. edit: new page... Everyone see Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. They are genuinely very good times.

I had a big move last year so I completely missed out on my annual tradition of watching and reviewing garbage horror on Amazon prime. I'm finally settled in so I'm going to be making up for lost time. If you follow me on Letterboxd I'm sorry for the flood of poo poo you're about to be exposed to.

For those who care, letterboxd has made significant changes to their rating algorithm, to remove recency bias, bias from one country, and to lower the ratings concert videos and making off documentaries receive. With these changes, Hara Kiri is the highest rated movie.

Reading their update it wasn't clear to me whether the've solved the problem of the top of lists of obscure titles always being something that got 3 decent ratings at a festival a decade ago. That might be under the umbrella of "ratings manipulation" but I wish I could just have a filter that let me exclude things that have under 10 ratings.

Interesting, I'm not big on consensus or aggregate ratings numbers anyway. But, it would be nice if we could bump Blue Velvet a couple decimals and get it onto the top freakin' 250. What the hell letterboxd raters, what the hell. But the coolest movies are a little divisive.

I use sliders on IMDb to filter and actually find results I find useful in a search, +1000 votes really takes out a lot of the chaff. I built a bunch of Letterboxd horror sub-genre watchlists using that and key words. Agree I’d love something like that on the pretty movie database.

I must nitpick, this mighty fine Lupin the Third theatrical feature, available on home video in the US for like 20 years, has only 858 votes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0170181/ And for US stuff with horror movie legends, the Ted Raimi masterpiece Lunatics: A Love Story only has 763 ratings. So really, numbers are never good is the lesson here. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102357/ There's no shortcut for finding the good stuff, clearly. We just gotta sift through thousands of pages and research zillions of movies, or we're gonna miss out on the gems.

Random question but if you create a list as private and then make it public does it show up as a new list on your friend's feed or no?

Yeah, it was largely a reaction to people complaining about A Dog's Purpose being the #3 movie on the Letterboxd top 250, it got there on a vote campaign by Brazilian users. It's now not even in the top 1000 anymore after the changes lol.

If I have one complaint about Letterboxd, and this might be a MovieDB issue, it's that it just kinda removes movies randomly sometimes. I'm a little miffed that I added a "wrestling show" (which was much more like a live scripted and shot play + movie hybrid) and my partner was able to review it but then it just got unceremoniously deleted. Are you telling me it's somehow less valid than the Starkid musicals? Maybe I can contact them about it. I'm not entirely sure how it all works.

I'm glad they have the top 250 lists, because if you just sort by rating, most of the first couple pages are just TV shows.

I did a thing. Taking suggestions, both on new titles and "which one is the good one." Rules: no remakes/reboots/public domain stuff like Dracula or Robin Hood, just two completely unique movies that happen to have the exact same title. I'll allow articles like 'The' or 'A,' but anything more than that and I consider them different films.

If you got to the front-page of letterboxd and sort by highest rated, it shows you "Films", the top 10 of which include Band of Brothers (#2 film of all time), cowboy bebop (#4) Fullmetal Alchemist (#8) and breaking bad (#9).

Might dig deeper for pairs later, but there's Crash (1996) and Crash (2004). And Crash! (1976) if you want a third contender. The Cronenberg one is the good one either way.

Cronenberg Crash (good) vs. Best Picture winner Crash (garbage) e: dang it I'm bad at reading recent posts Help! (the Beatles one) vs. The Help (2011) Z (1969) vs Z (2019), dunno if anyone's actually seen the recent one but it doesn't seem too insanely obscure... Either way, 1969 almost definitely better. Still assuming the ! is ok, there's Mother! (2017) vs. The Mother (2023), an action movie with J Lo. Guessing the first is way better but it's pretty controversial.

Shrecknet posted:I did a thing. Fun idea! Here's a few other contenders: -You've matched The Host (2006, Bong Joon-ho) with Host (2020, terrible Zoom horror movie). There's a more exact match, The Host, (2013, YA adaptation starring starring Saorise Ronan, https://letterboxd.com/film/the-host-2013/). I don't know if you're trying to keep these as just 2 movies for each title, but The Host (2013) has the exact title and came out closer in time. Obviously Bong Joon-Ho is the good one. -The Innocents (1961, haunted house classic, https://letterboxd.com/film/the-innocents/) shares it's name with a lot of titles, but surprisingly it has the same number of views on Letterboxd as The Innocents (2021, Norwegian film, https://letterboxd.com/film/the-innocents-2021/). They're both good. -Jack Frost (1998, Michael Keaton turns into a snowman, https://letterboxd.com/film/jack-frost/) was preceded by one year by Jack Frost (1997, serial killer snowman, https://letterboxd.com/film/jack-frost-1997/). Obviously the horror one is the good one. -Finally, did The Thing (1982, John Carpenter classic, https://letterboxd.com/film/the-thing/) begat Things (1989, bad movie hall of famer, https://letterboxd.com/film/things/ )? Probably not, but I couldn't resist.
