I would consider moving from criticker if they had a better rating scale. Is it seriously just 1-5 stars?

Yes, but with half-star increments.

I'm in the process of adding all my Criticker ratings and reviews to Letterboxd. I have 2369 films rated on Criticker, and about a third of them have reviews. :( This is an onerous process.

I'm going to begin using Letterboxd regularly, but I'll keep using Criticker too. Criticker's predicted score feature works unbelievable well. Sometimes it's uncanny how accurate it is.

Once I've added all of my movies to LB, I'll post a link here to my profile. I've got about 2,000 to go...

After many hours of labor, I finally got all my ratings and reviews moved over from Criticker to Letterboxd. http://letterboxd.com/caiman/

How do I remove a film from my film count? I tested to see what happens when I rate a movie and then un-see and un-rate it. What happened was my film count went up when I added it, but did NOT go back down when I un-rated/un-saw it. Am I missing something about how the site sums up my films?

Edit: looks like it just needed some time. The number's correct now.

It's a gut feeling. It's a quick answer to the question "how much did I like this?" See, I personally don't like to differentiate between the concepts of "good movies" vs "movies I like". If I liked it, it's good, whether that's due to technical excellence or campy fun. Both 2001: A Space Odyssey and House on Haunted Hill are 5-star movies.

The more I play around on this site, the more I appreciate all the little features the designers put into it. Cool thing I just discovered: go to a list and select "Fade watched films" from the filters to get a nice view of all your unwatched films in that list. This is great for "checklist" type lists like They Shoot Pictures Don't They.

The titles appear when you're in list view. The option is up near the filters button.

Something they should add to Letterboxd is a lookup of lists (maybe just popular ones or ones that at least meet a set criteria) that you've either 100%ed or are close to. Like you might've watched 80% of a directors work without even realizing it, which could be useful.

I'd love if they implemented something similar to ICheckMovies.com, where there's a curated set of 'official lists", such as TSPDT, IMDB top 250, etc.

Is it just me or is the price jump from Pro to Patron pretty extreme? Pro is $19 per year and Patron is $49. As far as I can tell the only worthwhile difference is that with Patron you get the custom background image on your profile and lists.

For the Favorite Films area I'm going to start using my four most recently seen 5-star movies. That should keep things interesting. Currently: Belladonna of Sadness, Hard to Be a God, Horror Express and The Naked Island.

Is there a way to see if a movie you are looking at is on multiple lists in your saved lists?

Basically I have a few lists with horror movies and I want to be able to see which movies are on the multiple lists I saved.

On a movie's page, if you scroll down to Popular Lists and click More, then click Everyone and change it to You, you'll see all of your lists in which the movie appears.

You know what feature Letterboxd really needs to add? The ability to cross-reference lists. It would just be a filter, like the current "In Your Watchlist" filter, only it would let you choose any list. This would be so incredibly useful.

So I've been a Pro member for a couple weeks now and it's been totally worth it. The Stats page is killer. But I think the best feature is the ability to clone lists. It gives me the ability to easily check if a particular movie is on a particular list. I just clone the lists I'm interested in.

Nice. That's a franchise I want to dive into in the near future, but there's so many of them.

If you're just starting out, I would watch the original and then move on to the Heisei and/or Millennium series with Shin thrown in there somewhere. The Showa series is fun but it gets very silly and kid-friendly.
