Letterboxd (/ˈlɛtərbɒkst/ LET-ər-bokst) is an online social cataloging service for film founded 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 advertises itself as "Goodreads for film."
Letterboxd's popularity spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic. It had over 14 million registered users as of June 2024. Although the website is generally limited to films, its leadership intends to add television shows in the future.[citation needed]
