@PH :

It seems

https://letterboxd.com/settings/data/

Could be enought for your need ?

Seems like this exports titles with their letterboxd URLs. I think we have the IMdb feature someone here made where you can do a mass search to add to a list? Sorry about that, it's been years.

Here's where someone made a script to convert from Letterboxd to IMDB: https://github.com/TobiasPankner/Letterboxd-to-IMDb

Thanks so much. I'm not good at coding (haven't done it in over a decade) but it seems like the common command line options listed here is for all ratings and my watchlist. Those seem way too superfluous. Are there any command line options to just take a list from the zip file? If not I guess I can just extract everything I watched from letterboxd to imdb (I don't really rate things though), and then use the <400 filter and then go by looking at my fav films list to figure out which to add, but yea that'll still take a while.

[Tim2460]

Or use PdA method : send everything you have and i'll filter the >400 and > 2021 myself

Well, since Mr Vampire and Simple Men have reached the 400 checks, I will delete them from my list.

I now have 281 babies left in that list...

Oh wow, a first-pager with us for the first time!


Nothing over 400, nothing newer than 2021, no TV-series other than mini-series (allowed) .. looks fine to me.
Only bear in mind that La main du diable (1943) likely could leave its status of eligibility within the next two weeks, needing only two more checks. (I won't touch it I promise)


Again, as a side note from me, I always find it unbelievable how unknown the Miss Marple movies with Margaret Rutherford are (all below 300 checks) - they're huge hits in Germany, being aired on TV all the time for decades.

[MMDan]

I haven't submitted a list in a while but behold:
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls521150218/ Ranked!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be working on the icm list trying to get films on the list over the 400 checks threshold.

I'll try to rank it if I have time, but for now it's unranked and alphabetical

Indeed, I just watched recently Murder at the Gallop (1963) and Murder She Said (1961) and they were amusing and fairly good. Not the same league, but will probably use the former to replace Iluminacja (1973), which got its 400th check just a few hours ago. So, thanks for the reminder to both of you.

I make it 75 lists so far. 42 to go to match last year's total. Four users have posted a list for the first time. 9 users back after not posting a list last year including Tasselfoot's first list since 2015 and MMDan's first since 2016.

55 users from last year not yet posted a list.

Most lists posted without posting one so far (including those who didn't post last year):
11 lists (every edition so far) - PeacefulAnarchy, jvv, burneyfan, clemmetarey, DulceDoes
10 lists - Gershwin, brokenface, sebby, Dolwphin, jeroeno, zhangalan, Leopardi, sushantv10, cayado-coro
9 lists - Kasparius, Lonewolf2003, bal3x, Knaldskalle, Fergenaprido, Lammetje, ororama, ChrisReynolds, perceval, Marazmatique, bjornam, paul281f
8 lists - jlfitz, Armoreska, Cippenham, tourdesb, Timec, Gorro, toro913, Captain_Zimmermann
7 lists - Nathan Treadway, BaalMan, Torgo, metaller, sheikofhyrule, jonas2k, Muellwind

I'm continuing my approach from the last few years and not messaging any inactive users so it's unlikely we'll see Kaspar etc. turn up.

Top 100 Ranked, The Rest Unranked: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls521170025/

For other Small Axe fans, it looks like the films Alex Wheatle, Red White and Blue, and Education are eligible, but not Mangrove or Lovers Rock. Note that because IMDb classifies them as "TV episodes," they won't show up when you search eligible titles.

[MMDan]

Small Axe was great.

For other Small Axe fans, it looks like the films Alex Wheatle, Red White and Blue, and Education are eligible, but not Mangrove or Lovers Rock. Note that because IMDb classifies them as "TV episodes," they won't show up when you search eligible titles.

I looked up the very rule on this:

+Stand alone episodes of anthology type series are allowed if both the episode and series are under 400 checks.

And what do you say? Small Axe hasn't even got 200 checks so far. Good to go.

Since 2016?! Sorry I've been so absent. Feels good to be back.

Great to have you back, MMDan!
.. now wait a minute!

Your Our Planet series looks cute, but ineligible. It's either busted by the TV series rule or mini-series with multiple seasons (and in the latter case, having a 2023-set also). One could argue that the different parts are two mini series, since it's also called Our Planet II on Wikipedia, but even there as another sub-season, and, more importantly, not so on IMDb - very different from Planet Earth I & II and Blue Planet I & II.

You're welcome.

Small Axe is even more confusing because each "episode" (? movie?) was shown separately in theaters. You'd have to buy a ticket for each one. Kind of like the Red Riding films, but in that case, IMDb gives them separate pages and calls them TV Movies.

And what do you say? Small Axe hasn't even got 200 checks so far.

Mm hmm. If you look at the checks breakdown from film to film, it looks like a lot of people watched Mangrove and Lovers Rock and then stopped. Missing out on the amazing Alex Wheatley and Education. Their loss!

[Tasselfoot]

I almost want to pull my list back, and wait until 2025 to submit.

[Torgo]

I almost want to pull my list back, and wait until 2025 to submit.

I do understand your notion very much but OPPENHEIMER will likely be still ineligible then due to the 400-check threshold (a rule suspiciously hitting all films of a certain director draconic hard for this poll, I smell a plot!)

Three tiers, each of them unranked:
I - Personal champions (1-12)
II - Personal favorites (13-52)
III - Other entries (53-207)

Added a few, moved some things around...

New tiers:
I - Personal champions (1-13)
II - Personal favorites (14-56)
III - Other entries (57-220)

Can't stop moving things around I was trying to get a clean 20-50-150 three-tiered list, but it's not easy.

I wanted to move La muerte de un burócrata to the first tier, but seeing it was already on the top 5 last year I'm not sure it's the best way to use the spot...

I'll post later on when I arrive to something relatively stable.

On another note, just a quick reminder that Gaspar Noé's Lux Aeterna is eligible at 228 checks.

Ooops, I'm one of those. Procrastinated with finishing the series, and then it disappeared from NRK where I watched it. Will have to find it somewhere else.
