@NathanR2D2 As far as I know, you cannot access your stats if you are a non-paying member, but Letterboxd will send you a push notification and/or email when the Wrapped is released.
you should do a video where you watch a movie from every country (or maybe like from every country in asia or europe or something if every country in the world is too much, which it probably is) and rank them. pick like a highly rated and popular movie from the country. that way you'd have more international movies
I started a project like this a few years ago, and still have many more countries to go! Some countries don't have any movies (i.e. Vatican City and some of the smaller islands.) Evidently Letterboxd has a "March Around the World" challenge in which I will be participating in March.
Or international movie monday (or a new day of the week)! Cannot include the top 15 or 20 most watched countries of origin movies of all time (if you can track that)
@ Troy is a fun time! Kinda started an accidental Willam Defoe streak since Nosferatu by rewatching the lighthouse and Northman. Might do At Eternity’s Gate next.
This was my first year on Letterboxd. At the beginning of the year I made a goal to watch 200 new films. I didn’t quite get there but I managed to log 198 films, with only 10% being rewatches. I’m aiming for 300 logs this year, and at least 250 that are new to me. Two films I watched this past year actually made it to my four favs. Those being Blue velvet and The king of comedy
Hearing you talk about your Dune: Part Two experience was really nice and touching but my favorite review of yours from this year is still "I bet that felt good as fuck for pouchy"
The first film was Climax and my last film was Hundreds of Beavers, so a wild year. I also watched all 44 Jake Gyllenhaal films he's in, in order, so an accomplishment for me.
I'll never forget my first time watching Dune Part 2. I saw it at an exhibitor preview screening several weeks before release with about 15 other cinema managers who were way older than me, plus a couple Universal pictures staff. I distinctly remember when that one shot of Stilgar snapping back to reality and saying "Lisan al gaib!" happened at the end of the movie, I had to hold in my laughter so as to not look immature (nobody else laughted). But in that moment, I sat there and thought to myself "Oh the internet is gonna have a field day with that specific shot". And lo and behold, it was one of 2024's biggest memes. I'm not the kind of person to predict trends at the drop of a hat like that, so I wear that one like a badge of honour.
Finally you watched "All about lily chou chou" what a masterpiece!! I recommend you : - August in the Water (1995) - Throw away your books rally in the streets (1971) - Himizu (2011) - Sound and fury (1988) - The rocking horsemen (1992)
Today was my first log of the year, and it was a Seven Samurai first time watch. Pretty good way to start my year. I wont be suprised if I dont see a movie that's better.
BRAZIL MENTIONED!!!! 🇧🇷 Not to be weird or anything, but you have no idea how excited I am for you to watch I'm Still Here. If it doesn't make it into a video, please leave a review on Letterboxd!
Really eases my wounded sense of cinephile "Cred" to know that even Pros that watch, discuss, and make movies for a living aren't averaging 1 a day across a given year
Gotta say, it's nice to see someone like you who is so obsessed with movies "only" be at 316 watches per year. So many accounts I follow are somehow at 4-600 and I just don't understand how so this makes me feel a lot better about myself lol.
i have the most annoying question possible which is, do you think you’ll do “reviewing your letterboxd profiles” again anytime soon and if so could you post about it on here so i don’t miss it
How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies was my favorite movie last year and that's because I haven't seen Nickel Boys yet and encompassed my mind more than Dune 2.
I have Letterboxd Pro but I have stopped checking my stats back in November because I want to have some surprise, when they drop the "wrapped" on January 8.
Karsten, I'd love to see you watch some more silent films and other stuff from the 1920s and prior, like D.W. Griffith, Sergei Eisenstein, Fritz Lang, F.W. Muranu, all the original greats. I've been having a lot of fun starting my own challenge of putting some focus toward a specific decade in cinema for each month of 2025
love that i've been following you on letterboxd for a long time and always pay attention to your ratings without knowing who you are haha, i always thought u were a girl. Just discovered your channel and i love it
That damn world map has gotten me to undertake a challenge of watching a movie from every country in the world this world... let's see how well that ends 🤣
I had 594 entries because I count weird little TV specials and I also have no life. My most logged actor was William Hartnell (Doctor Who), and my most logged director was Steven Spielberg (which was weird since my major marathon of this year was Kubrick, and I watched all of his movies).
You've gotta get into Bollywood and the like! Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a fun recommendation I got from a friend. (Aleezé, if you see this, I hope you're doing well!)
i dont know if youll see this, but I've got an idea for a video: Watch the highest rated movie (or highest grossing, whichever you want) from each and every country, and rank them.
My first film was Bottoms and my last film was Love Me Tomorrow lmao. I fell hard into Spider-Man this year so my top actor was Mahershala Ali bc I watched Spider-Verse like 5 times and my top director was Yorgos Lanthimos even tho I don't even like his movies that much 😭
@MusicMan75636 if you are a Pro or Patron of Letterboxd, you get access to your stats year-round. Otherwise, your yearly stats will be emailed to you on January 8
this is SO niche but you could watch movies from like the soviet union (many of them are on youtube) as well as north korea. this could be for like a youtube video but im not sure how well it would do lol
I wonder how much essential difference there is between “I watched Kinds of Kindness but it kind of just fell off” and “I’ve procrastinated on watching Kinds of Kindness because it looks like a slab of vague improv.”
Looking for an Indian film to watch? Check out Kalki 2898 A.D. it's like if Zack Snyder adapted the Bhagavad Gita. Also, I'd love to see you react to/review The Line (2023) at some point! I feel like you'd really dig it.
"Brasil what the fuck" ahahah ok but please change Monkey Mondays to International Mondays (you could watch a film from each country) or maybe Documentary Mondays. It would be so interesting
A lot of free films Filipino (Philippines) from Solar Films, ABS CBN Restoration Films and Cinema One RUclips channels lol. Seek for Abaya, Siguon Reyna films lol.
I only saw 31 movies in 2024, my New Year's resolution is to watch more, but here are my favourites (anything I rated 3½ or higher) and biggest disappointments (those I expected to rate 3 or more but didn't)... Favourites (in viewing order): Poor Things (2023) 3½ Dune: Part Two (2024) 3½ Asteroid City (2023) 3½ The Favourite (2018) 3½ Dream Scenario (2023) 4 The Killer (2023) 3½ The Power of the Dog (2021) 3½ BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (2022) 4 May December (2023) 3½ One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) 3½ Vice (2018) 3½ Disappointments (in viewing order): Nope (2022) 2½ Death Proof (2007) 2½ X (2022) 2 Babylon (2022) 3 (I did enjoy parts of it) Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) 2½ The Substance (2024) 2 Don't Look Up (2021) 2 Late Night with the Devil (2023) 1½ Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021) 2
Karsten the amount of latino films you've watched this year is awful i suggest in 1 month you should watch at least 1 (hopefully 2) movies from each of this countries, this is mostly south america because that's where I'm from, please watch at least one peruvian movie this year. January: Brasil February: Chile March: Argentina April: Ecuador May: Bolivia June: Uruguay July: Peru August: Paraguay September: Honduras October: Mexico November: Cuba December: Colombia
Letterboxd actually has a "wrapped" and it's coming on the 8th of January. 😄
Hope so, don’t know how to access it lol
@@maxgooding8734 same
you get an email w your most watched actor, director, how many movies you watched thru the year, things like that
@@alechats5184an email? Lame
@@maxgooding8734 LB does have a wrapped, you can check yours from previous years, just google it.
Letterboxd does offer a Wrapped! But Pro and Patron members have access to their stats year round, so non-paying members will see theirs soon :)
So if we don’t have a patron or pro we still can have it ? Because last year I had none-. Maybe my fault
@@kblde Letterboxd Wrapped will be available for non-paying members no January 8
How do we check our stats if we don’t have pro. Do we have to go on the letterboxd website ?or will it be in the app eventually
@NathanR2D2 As far as I know, you cannot access your stats if you are a non-paying member, but Letterboxd will send you a push notification and/or email when the Wrapped is released.
thanks for this. Was slightly confused about that.
that feeling when you are recovering from the knee surgery
brainrot got me bc my mind immediately went here
i am currently recovering from knee surgery like staring at my busted leg rn so this caught me off guard
you should do a video where you watch a movie from every country (or maybe like from every country in asia or europe or something if every country in the world is too much, which it probably is) and rank them. pick like a highly rated and popular movie from the country. that way you'd have more international movies
love this idea
Yes!
Jack Edwards does something similar for books! I’d love to better inform my film taste profile with Karsten-viewed international features
I started a project like this a few years ago, and still have many more countries to go! Some countries don't have any movies (i.e. Vatican City and some of the smaller islands.) Evidently Letterboxd has a "March Around the World" challenge in which I will be participating in March.

9:50 Recovering from WHAT!
*violin begins playing in the atmosphere*
glad i'm not the only one who had that reaction and whose brain got permanently damaged by tiktok
Lol, I also saw Dune 2 with freshly broken wrist and completly forgot about it while watching the movie. So good.
Karsten going through every sub-genre and justifying them with Monkey movies😭
I had a whole Matt Damon-thon last month so excited to see which actor I watched the most in 2024.
I've been doing that gradually with Brad Pitt (do not see War Machine guys, anything but that) and it's going really well. Soon to rewatch Troy
@ Troy is a fun time! Kinda started an accidental Willam Defoe streak since Nosferatu by rewatching the lighthouse and Northman. Might do At Eternity’s Gate next.
Man looking like Henry from Eraserhead with that haircut
Thank you, this was fun! I joined Letterboxd on January 1, 2025. I can't wait until next year to see my stats!
This was my first year on Letterboxd. At the beginning of the year I made a goal to watch 200 new films. I didn’t quite get there but I managed to log 198 films, with only 10% being rewatches. I’m aiming for 300 logs this year, and at least 250 that are new to me.

What was your favorite Gyllenhaal film?
@marcjohnson3553 Zodiac was my top film, followed very closely by Prisoners and Donnie Darko

Dat feeling when dune prt 2 comes out during knee surgery
Lettrboxd has a year in review which comes out in a couple of days
You HAVE to watch Look Back. They did such an amazing job. That’s one of my favorite one shots and it was done beautifully.
the musician monkey was my most watched film of the year. saw that movie 11 times! can't get enough of that little guy
59 seconds is crazy
She said the same. Not sure if it was a compliment or not though.
Really eases my wounded sense of cinephile "Cred" to know that even Pros that watch, discuss, and make movies for a living aren't averaging 1 a day across a given year

I’m so glad to see Vewn has their stuff listed on Letterboxd!
11:17 bro left us hanging😭
i have the most annoying question possible which is, do you think you’ll do “reviewing your letterboxd profiles” again anytime soon and if so could you post about it on here so i don’t miss it
Love Roy Anderson, hope you do a video on all his work.
How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies was my favorite movie last year and that's because I haven't seen Nickel Boys yet and encompassed my mind more than Dune 2.
Four Daughters is not even from Saudi Arabia but Letterboxd was like ''might put another Arab country on it, why not?'' 😂
I have Letterboxd Pro but I have stopped checking my stats back in November because I want to have some surprise, when they drop the "wrapped" on January 8.
Karsten, I'd love to see you watch some more silent films and other stuff from the 1920s and prior, like D.W. Griffith, Sergei Eisenstein, Fritz Lang, F.W. Muranu, all the original greats. I've been having a lot of fun starting my own challenge of putting some focus toward a specific decade in cinema for each month of 2025
love that i've been following you on letterboxd for a long time and always pay attention to your ratings without knowing who you are haha, i always thought u were a girl. Just discovered your channel and i love it
You have to watch IM STILL HERE! It's Brazil's contender for Best International Film at the Oscars! :)
Now Karsten's cousin has to tier list rank all his monkey monday films
That damn world map has gotten me to undertake a challenge of watching a movie from every country in the world this world... let's see how well that ends 🤣
I had 594 entries because I count weird little TV specials and I also have no life. My most logged actor was William Hartnell (Doctor Who), and my most logged director was Steven Spielberg (which was weird since my major marathon of this year was Kubrick, and I watched all of his movies).
Me when I watch Dune 2 after knee surgery
That feeling when knee surgery is yesterday
2025 goal should be to make that directors list a little bit more diverse xoxo
Ur 1 icelandic film being Smoke Sauna Sisterhood is so funny bc it's actually about Estonian women
Could u do a foreign film every Monday? Idk how to make that alliterative without it being on a Friday tho. Anti-monolingual Monday?
worldly wednesday maybe hahah, might try this
@@isabellajohnson3833 genius! I could only think of Foreign Language Friday
how about international monday next?
Logged 371 movies with no re-watches lol
Would love to know what argentinian movie you saw
You've gotta get into Bollywood and the like! Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a fun recommendation I got from a friend. (Aleezé, if you see this, I hope you're doing well!)
i dont know if youll see this, but I've got an idea for a video: Watch the highest rated movie (or highest grossing, whichever you want) from each and every country, and rank them.
9:52 bro the meme is still MASSIVE
This is my favorite channel on RUclips
Just because I'm curious: What was the movie you watched from Turkey?
I am still waiting for a The Curse video, just so you know...
My first film was Bottoms and my last film was Love Me Tomorrow lmao. I fell hard into Spider-Man this year so my top actor was Mahershala Ali bc I watched Spider-Verse like 5 times and my top director was Yorgos Lanthimos even tho I don't even like his movies that much 😭
So much love for “Babe: Pig in the City”
For a moment I thought he was doing a James Stewart accent but then it was gone...
You need to catch all we imagine as light
Nosferatu being listed under “No Spoken Language” is very interesting lol
Slick type video
No Spoken Language is always so high for me because I watch so many silent films.
Damn, Thunderdome is dope.
please god watch memoir of a snail. i was in shock when it wasn’t on your top films of 2024 (and then i found it you never even saw it)
i was sick during Dune 2 lol. With mono
how do you get to this page on letterbox?
@MusicMan75636 if you are a Pro or Patron of Letterboxd, you get access to your stats year-round. Otherwise, your yearly stats will be emailed to you on January 8
We do live in a different app now. Been on LB since 2018
If I could recommend a film from the Philippines, it would be a film called "Liway". It's free here on RUclips!
No Polish cinema is criminal, you gotta pump those Decalogues up
Maybe you should do a International Mondays this time, where each Monday you watch an International film
Foreign Fridays
Is he still watching the sopranos he mentioned it a few months ago and I’m pissed that he never mentioned again I just want a response
Happy Feet recognition PLEASE
kursten what did you watch from turkiye omg i am too curious i need to know
this is SO niche but you could watch movies from like the soviet union (many of them are on youtube) as well as north korea. this could be for like a youtube video but im not sure how well it would do lol
four daughters is actually a tunisian film
George Miller- you gotta see Lorenzo's Oil
Hideaki Anno year for me, watched all but one of his films. And I watched 23 Bruce Campbell films
I wonder how much essential difference there is between “I watched Kinds of Kindness but it kind of just fell off” and “I’ve procrastinated on watching Kinds of Kindness because it looks like a slab of vague improv.”
turtle tuesdays?

Bro gave CHALLENGERS 5-Star ⭐️ rating 👀

I hit 366 new films this year as my goal, kind of crazy my watch time was 704 hours! Only like 50 more films but 200 more hours
Although actually I did rewatch a couple in the cinema, but I deleted them off my diary so that I had 366 films this year
Please do T-Rex Tuesdays this year 🙏

Still no South East Asia? 😒

"Brasil what the fuck" ahahah

Maybe your challenge this year is to watch a movie from a different non-English speaking country every week ^-^
Heheh he said knee surgery
How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies is a HIGH RECOMMEND
Can’t wait for turkey tuesdys in 2025
