Letterboxd’s Top 100 Films is Fantastic! 

Worry not boys; that 2001 review was posted on April 1. :)

I was in film school from 2014-17 i’m surprised I never heard of letterboxd until a couple years ago

I hate to sound like a snob, but the reason the IMDb top 250 is more English-language, more recency bias than Letterboxd is because the IMDb scores come from a much wider pool of people. Way more casual Hollywood movie fans have rated films on IMDb than LB. It's because a much higher proportion of LB users are cinephiles than IMDb users.

end of evangelion is a big ifykyk kinda movie. you do have to watch the 26 episode series beforehand, but it's most definitely a totally bizarre, very unique watch. always surprised it's so high with just how narrow the entry point is for viewers wanting to check it out.

The disrespect for Jaws is just unfathomable.

They recently changed the Letterboxd rating system so that it’s weighted in some way (the information on how it is weighted hasn’t been released so that people cannot use this information to disrupt ratings in anyway). Before this change, taxi driver was on the top 250 around spot 200 but it’s off now. I didn’t even know until I watched this video, that’s insane. One of the best films of all time.

You got some killer stuff in the backgrond, love the posters and props man

How are you not happy with 4.3 ratings? Some of the best films ever are below 3.7 and we have to deal with this fact while Barbie steals a 4.1 rating.

I'm surprised not a single Harry Potter movie made this list but two animated spider-man movies did.

Oppenheimer is a masterpiece , will b remembered decades from now. Christopher Nolan is a top 3 director of all time.

Nice video.Can you do a podcast about the best foreign films.

6:23 is when they start the list

Overall good list. I have 7 more from this list to watch. Guys, you must watch The Cranes are Flying and Where is the Friends House :)

anthony pronounced "awry" "ARE-WEE" at 8:59 .....UNSUBSCRIBED!!!!!

I was hoping you would say more about the films than just reading the synopsis and moving on for most of them; maybe revisiting the list when you have seen more of it would do for a more effective episode.

You are my ‘Gym Buddies’🎉 Thank you for making my workout so much Interesting ❤🎉

Into the spiderverse has no good reason to be ranked so high. Its a fine movie. We all know why its so high though.

always a pleasure watching you guys and even interacting with you on Letterboxd! really awesome to see and you guys have been helping me expand my taste! much love boys ❤️🫡

4.2 for your favs is pretty good on letterboxd guys...

A man escaped it a must view ! Would love to hear your opinions on it after you’ve watched it 😃

Eden lake, Cold Creek Manor, & Mandy are great 2!

I wonder if Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is at least top 500😤😂

what the song is playing on the beginning of the video?

I'm trying to find the top 100 on the site/google but can't find it. Can you give the link please? 🙏

Started on this site recently… I only have 972 films logged… need to work on those numbers 😀

Link to the list they are using??

Still think that nothing comes close to imdb as far as rating movies and number of movies there. But the interface of Letterboxd is great though.

I only gave The Matrix a 4/5 because I like the action but the amount of humans that they kill without blinking an eye kind of undermines the theme of trying to save humanity 😁😆

I love how you can't get you're head around the placings of films. I personally say if a film is closer to No.1 then that is higher, than lower. It's a film held in higher esteem. I am shocked too that Jaws & Taxi Driver are not in the Top 250. Also shocked my favourite of all time - Aliens, isn't either.

Y’all got haircuts!!!!! 😂😂😂this is one of my favorite podcasts. A Streetcar named Desire is a keeper on my DVR. Also, I loved Last Tango in Paris. Also, Five Easy Pieces with Jack Nicholson. You can’t stop watching this movie. Karen Black was insanely good as Ray Anne.Grease came out in 1978. I know because I was four and it was the first “real” movie I saw in the theater. My crush on Travolta was born.

you guys are a hoot!

No matter what, this list is better than empire’s

where do u see their list at ?

letsssss gooooooo

i'm headed to Letterboxd now to "old up" the population a bit

Amy Poehler in Deuce Bigelow is worth the watch.

Grease released in 1978, not 1979 !!

10:16 bruh....

2001 that low completely ruined the list. Top 3 film ever.

I like how yall took a slight offense in spot 99 for "2001" but didn't even know Abbas Kiarostami or even Robert Bresson. Like, come on white boys, maybe that's the reason it's "only" 99, because there is a whole world of movies out there each of us has been ignorant towards, and with a diverse community on a website like BL an accumulated score by cinephiles across the globe can reveal some of them to us. Like, maybe there is more than "just" Kubrick (still a brilliant film maker don't get me wrong), u feel me smh

Everything is good

Why do they keep saying “I just don’t think Gen Z understand or like Taxi Driver”? As if Taxi Driver doesn’t have a 4.2/5 on Letterboxd! Just because it isn’t in the top 250 movies of all time doesn’t mean the younger generation doesn’t like it!

M is not a silent film. Soy Cuba and The Cranes are Flying are brilliant Soviet films by Kalatozov (and they are absolutely unabashed collectivist propaganda lol), they are free on RU-vid, however, please try to find a spanish version of Soy Cuba. The Russian dub doesn't do it justice. Satantango, is a masterpiece but it is a challenging 7.5 hours. I recommend Bela Tarr's (who is often critical of Soviet influence in his films) other films as well, particularly, The Turin Horse (which is a more typical length). All of Bresson's films (A Man Escaped, Au Hasard Balthazar, L'argent, etc.) are deconstructionist films (and not in the Ozu/Edward Yang's YiYi tofu film way of cinematizing yet de-dramatizing every day life, Bresson is not nearly as humanist). A man escaped is literally just about a man escaping. He famously dumbed down performances and exhausted his actors to highlight the elements in his specific artistic utterances, his images and characters, etc. An acquired taste for sure. He is very much Film's Brecht, and Hanake is his spiritual successor. More meta about telling stories, more philosophy brought out by the characters and their interactions, no 19th century Romantic notions, very much exploring for truth through art, very critical filmmakers, not necessarily storytellers, albeit they're still great storytellers. It's a shme there is no Hanake, The Piano Teacher has the finest acting of the century (up with There Will be Blood in my Opinion). If you see The Pianist as the second best holocaust film, I highly recommend Son of Saul. Where is the Friend's House is one of the most sincere and touching films, most of Kiarostami's films are, I highly suggest a film by the director that has the big fan in Close-UP, Makhmalbaf, it's called A Moment of Innocence. The Ascent is directed by the wife of the director of Come and See, so you have a couple in the lb top 100 lol. Agree wrt Fanny & Alexander, anybody who is a fan of Bergman, this is the essential film, I actually prefer the 3 hour theatrical cut. It's a shame Wings of Desire (by Wim Wenders of Paris, Texas) didn't seem to make the cut. It is a beautiful and transcendent film. I think Woman in the Dunes and Diary of a Country Priest (aforementioned Bresson) were Tarkovsky's favorite films (btw absolutely watch Andrei Rublev, it is Tarkovsky at his absolute best). Interesting how there is no Godard, even his FNW era films. As influential as he is he and his poppy, meandering, rule breaking films are still quite controversial. At least Vivre sa Vie (when he still was making sincere films and didn't sell his soul to the revolution) deserves to be in the top 100 films of all time imo.

Calling "M" a silent film?!? UNSUBSCRIBED! Still don't know it happened one night. Watch it gents! This was a great video love these going over lists. There was some good ones here but Def some that don't belong in the top 100. 2001 at 99 is criminal man

Remember the good old days when Call Me By Your Name was one of the highest rated films ever before it got swarmed by the sexaphobe kids who couldn't handle the "age difference".

Uhm, the movie M is not a silent film

Oppenheimer is a great movie but IMO its not even nolans top 5 movie.

They literally wanted to put 500 films in the top 100 lmao

#1 hurt to watch. Tragic

حلقه طويله للاسف 🥹

This is the most artsy fartsy movie list I’ve ever had the displeasure of viewing. I award Letterbox no points, and may god ha e mercy on their soul. No Matrix?? 😂UNSUBSCRIBED!

All about Eve is definitely better than Oppenheimer, sorry.

Oppenheimer is extremely overrated. Nobody is going to remember it 20 years from now.

M is not a silent movie, sorry... UNSUBCRIBE!

Silence of the lambs is slightly overrated. It's really good, Hopkins flawless as usual, Levine delightfully disturbing. Jodie Foster and her garbage southern accent is hard to watch. Criminally underrated JFK was that years best. Costner, Oldman, Pesci, Sutherland, Lee Jones, Bacon etc etc

2001 a space odyssey is the most overrated movie of all time and shouldn’t even make top 500. And I love most old movies.

My list ----------- 1: Hacksaw Ridge 2: Baby Driver 3: Amazing Spider-Man 2 4: Jesus Revolution 5: Revenge Of The Sith 6: Lego Ninjago Movie 7: Good Will Hunting 8: Interstellar 9: The Prince Of Egypt 10: Lord Of The Rings Fellowship Of The Ring 11: The Prince Of Egypt 12: How To Train Your Dragon 13: 12 Angry Men 14: La La Land 15: The Social Network 16: Whiplash 17: Inside Out 18: The Dark Knight 19: Inception 20: Sound Of Freedom
