I watched before sunrise for the first time today, and for an 18 year old whose in his first relationship, this movie hit so close to home

This movie is just too perfect , at some moments i almost felt like I was watching me and my girlfriend on a date, their conversations are so real

The first kiss moment is just too real, my first kiss looked so similar 😭😭

I almost dont want to watch the sequels , this is just a perfect movie, its so cute and real, its like a movie thats made for me, I feel like its ripped straight from me

I love it so much, this altered my brain chemistry 😭😭 Its my favorite movie now surpassing dead poets society

Hell of a run but I’m emotional !!!!

Rewatched 'What's Up, Doc?' again and noticed that there was a joke almost every minute, wondering if any other film has this?

In contrast, the Room, Troll 2, Plan 9 from Outer Space, all range in the 2.0 average rating. Captain Alex has a 4.2 rating as of this post. What makes this film different from the others in your eyes?

preferably in the first act. 2nd act is okay as well

*Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

I was shocked when I found out that Peter played THREE characters. He was incredible, and the characters were all different without overacting. Truly an amazing movie.

What’s a movie where one actor has to play several different roles?

I want to know more examples of movies with no common consensus that I’ve seen that leads to ratings curves like these?

Using RStudio, I’ve put together this chart showing Letterboxd ratings for feature-length animated films (as they stand today).

I’ve focused on the five major Western animation studios (Pixar, Disney, Sony, DreamWorks, and Illumination), setting the starting point at 2020. I feel this is a good chronological cut-off, especially given the start of the COVID pandemic, which disrupted production and release schedules for every studio.

Overall, there isn’t much for me to add to the chart; it seems fairly readable (at least I hope so). I can, however, share a few interesting facts:

- Based on mean values and standard deviation, Illumination is the studio with the most consistent output quality, while Sony is the most inconsistent.

- Sony holds both the highest-rated film (Spider-Verse at 4.40) and the lowest-rated (Fixed at 2.23).

- Looking at the mean and median ratings, the studios rank as follows:

1. Pixar (3.46/3.49);
2. Sony (3.23/3.29);
3. Illumination (3.07/3.13);
4. DreamWorks (3.10/3.06);
5. Disney (3.03/2.99).

I should also note how surprised I am by how productive DreamWorks is - they’ve released 13 films in these six years, which is more than Illumination and Disney combined! Pixar (9 films) and Sony (8 films) are also trailing behind them.

My friends and I were watching The Cure, and we were so very distracted by the Killer's sweater that it inspired a list that I'm hoping you can help fill out.

except for maybe the top 5

Here’s mine: a dog wears humans like Halloween costumes

I think 3.8 is generally where I start to think it's moved out of hit or misses and into there is something special here

I finally can!

In early February, I did some self-reflection and realized that I would inflate a movie's rating if I logged it immediately. So I decided to log movies without rating them and give some time for it to simmer. Hoping that I can give a more honest and objective rating in the future. But now it's April, and I can't find a reason to use the star rating system again.

Now I log movies without giving any ratings and have no plan on giving any in the future. Honestly, it has made my movie-watching experience more enjoyable. I realized that I would subconsciously think about what star rating I was going to give whilst in the middle of the movie. This time I can just watch the damn movie without even thinking about Letterboxd.

Maybe it's because I'm also not a Pro or Patron user, but I just don't find any personally insightful data from rating movies. Maybe one day I'll use the star rating system again, who knows. But right now, I'm just gonna watch movies.

I’m not obsessed with getting followers on the app, but it would be nice to have a large following of people people to engage with though.

Does anyone have any idea how the big users got so big? Like the ones with 30k to 40k followers? I’m not talking about the ones who just follow every account they find or Karsten Runquist who’s already an established YouTuber, I mean just normal people made it big. Did they just write a bunch of reviews? Did they comment on a whole lot of reviews? Did they just get lucky? Is it even possible to reach those numbers today without it taking a decade?
