Letterboxd

Movie logging site

Letterboxd is a social media platform for film enthusiasts to log, rate, and review movies they've watched.

Users maintain personal film diaries, create ranked lists, and follow others' viewing activity.

The name references letterboxing—the black bars that preserve widescreen aspect ratios on standard screens.

I logged it on Letterboxd but couldn't think of anything clever to say.
