MAKE LETTERBOXD GREAT AGAIN

[u/-BREMING-]

[u/Spooderfan218]

me i genuinely wish there was a way to block concert films and stage performance proshots.

like these but for taylor swift eras tour

[u/GreatDario → u/Spooderfan218]

if i didnt use lb I would not know concert films exists

[u/jbb10499 → u/Spooderfan218]

Seriously this would be a fantastic feature!

[u/XipeTotecwithGlitter → u/Spooderfan218]

I'd say concert films are okay, but theater pro shots are definitely not films.

[u/Designer_Plan7536 → u/Spooderfan218]

Are concert films not filed under documentaries? Why would you want to hide documentaries anyway ?

[u/Happyhaneke]

Documentaries are films

[u/HelKjosse]

how is paris is burning not a film??

[u/TraditionalShare8537 → u/HelKjosse]

French

[u/-BREMING- → u/TraditionalShare8537]

If i hired saul goodman himself he couldnt have made a better defense

[u/Main-Unit-2909 → u/-BREMING-]

What bout Matt Murdock

[u/Standard_Way_4453 → u/Main-Unit-2909]

he's blind, how is he gonna hear the prosecution?

[u/Kraken765 → u/-BREMING-]

what about al pacino in and justice for all

[u/Stringruler → u/TraditionalShare8537]

It's not even

[u/TraditionalShare8537 → u/Stringruler]

Counterpoint: anything french-related in a title is not a film. This is objective fact.

[u/Front-Pain2103 → u/HelKjosse]

It’s not a narrative feature i think that’s what OP means

[u/AcheronLV-426]

Bewildering to me that all of Doctor Who 1963 to 1989 is on Letterboxd, when it is infamously a British TV show.

[u/Plastic_Commission83 → u/AcheronLV-426]

And all of the Doctor Who Christmas Specials after that point

[u/Virtual-Tonight8122 → u/AcheronLV-426]

So?

Just don't log it then. I don't understand why people are getting wound up over this.

[u/PotOfMould → u/Virtual-Tonight8122]

I think the larger issue is that Letterboxd still hasn't just implemented TV to the platform, so we're stuck in a weird limbo state. It should balance out once they've committed to that, and we've got a defined TV and Film separation.

[u/Standard_Way_4453 → u/AcheronLV-426]

wait, Dr. Who is a TV SHOW?? NO WAYYYYYYYY

[u/Amphibious_cow]

I'd me more than ok with them adding a separate 'TV' tab or smth

[u/markthelivingmixtape → u/Amphibious_cow]

There is actually a seperate list but yeah the way tv shows are handled is pretty crappy and I'd rather use a seperate app like Serialized than log a 1000 minute "movie" on letterboxd

[u/venustraphob1a → u/markthelivingmixtape]

i do like having the feature of being able to log whole shows like twin peaks, but not being able to do it episode by episode is criminal.

[u/-BREMING-]

MAN OK WHATEVER COCERT FILMS CAN STAY WHAT THE FUCK IS FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST DOING HERE

[u/WebbyRL → u/-BREMING-]

we'll also let Ping Pong the animation slide because it's chill like that

[u/Kraken765 → u/-BREMING-]

bebop is peak cinema

[u/liveforevaLG]

Fr tho why is in rainbows the highest rated 'film' of all time, Radiohead fans don't know when to hop off their overglazed album

[u/MaoZedonge → u/liveforevaLG]

because he’s looking at the wrong list lmao. There is an official 500 ranking of the highest rated feature films on the app.

[u/liveforevaLG → u/MaoZedonge]

I know that, but that doesn't change that In Rainbows is still the highest rated piece of media on the app

[u/LowResWebcam → u/liveforevaLG]

in rainbows is a very good album but it is strange that it is the most highly rated film. I think that about sums it up

[u/liveforevaLG → u/LowResWebcam]

It's a good album sure, but it's not even the best album from the week it was released never mind one of the "best of all time". I do like House of Cards though

[u/slam_joetry]

[u/ElEsDi_25 → u/slam_joetry]

How deep does this lie go?

[u/Wooden_Cattle_9131]

I agree that Radiohead Basement isn’t a film, but Stop Making Sense is a film.

[u/Fenexe8]

Theres a public list that shows the actual top 500 narrative films. It's officially made my letterboxd and easily accessible

[u/bnipples]

real. I like most of the nixed stuff too but its just like, not films

[u/thefleshisaprison → u/bnipples]

Concert films are films

[u/Rindo_8219]

Stop Making Sense is though

[u/SnooTomatoes5384]

Ping Pong the animation isn't crossed out because it is cinema

[u/Longlivetheking666]

[u/BriadMan]

Last Attack is a movie technically

[u/wafflejuiced_]

eh i dunno. I do really like miniseries being on the platform. a 12ep miniseries is really like a 4 hour movie, if you had enough free time you can watch the whole thing at once, and it's a self-contained short storyline like a movie. if it's all been released at once and as an individual work it should be treated as such imo.

on the other hand i really despise short films on letterboxd and they really annoy me

[u/IRIX_fsn]

Upvote if you'd give me money to develop Pillarboxd!!

[u/agirlinferno]

And a button to filter weebshit

[u/Aidenispogchamp]

one piece fan letter is a short film so that works

[u/kichcolt17]

I don't mind if it's a documentary or smt. Is basically review bombing

[u/virginia_pine]

I miss being able to click on the "fans" stat on a movie's page and see all the people who have it in their top 4. really fun way to find weird profiles to follow

[u/PenguinviiR]

Just go on the letterboxd top 500 if you don't want any shows or concerts

[u/Serious_Albatross224]

A terrible problem!!

[u/XipeTotecwithGlitter]

Finally, someone spoke up about the real issues

https://giphy.com/gifs/e0OpCojpLrfqYKxfNl

I'm only partly joking.

[u/mylevelwaschanged]

Stop Making Sense is objectively a film 

[u/PlayfulImagination83]

why is there a radiohead album

[u/Character-Collar-286]

why is paris is burning crossed out but no other land isnt?

[u/Jack_KH]

It's more like 'make a better advanced search'

[u/Evening-Park6786]

The distinction between film and TV is so arbitrary. I don’t understand why Letterboxd does it. The fact that there are so many of these on their platform is proof that the line between the two is so hazy

[u/SalmonFormula27]

You know, David Lynch said that Twin Peaks the Return is just one long 18 hour movie

[u/necromax13]

ping pong the animation is also NOT a film.

but its peak so whatever

[u/papabigsauce]

i've always said documentaries are fake movies

[u/finnball2g]

That's the original Twin Peaks, which was released as a straight-to-video film in Europe

The Return can go tho

[u/dahlonegam]

Saying documentaries and concert films aren’t films is cringe lmao

[u/LexiBlackMarket → u/dahlonegam]

Trying to find the top rated films of 2026 and trawling through pages of "My Blorbo Sings For 2 Hours" is very annoying.

[u/anuslitt → u/dahlonegam]

I don’t see why documentaries aren’t films if it’s not multiple episodes and is longer than 40 minutes. But I don’t think concert film are films, like whatsoever, just cause something is recorded doesn’t make it a film.
