Letterboxd (/ˈlɛtərbɒkst/ LET-ər-bokst) is an online social cataloging service for film founded and (partially with investment company Tiny since 2023) owned by Matthew Buchanan and Karl von Randow in 2011 with a headquarters in New Zealand. Members can rate and review films, keep track of which ones they have seen in the past and when, make lists of films, showcase their favorites, tag films using text keywords, and interact with other cinephiles. It has been described as "Goodreads for movies."[1]
Letterboxd's popularity spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic. It had over 17 million registered users as of January 2025. Although the website is generally limited to films, its leadership intends to add television shows in the future.[2]
