Letterboxd (/ˈlɛtərbɒkst/ LET-ər-bokst) is a New Zealand online social cataloging service founded by Matthew Buchanan and Karl von Randow in 2011. It advertises itself as "Goodreads for film." Members can rate and review films, keep track of what films they have seen in the past and when, make lists of films, showcase their favorite films, tag films using text keywords, and interact with other cinephiles.
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.
