2018 In Review Letterboxd Statpalooza

[kanafani]

In the next few days, I'll be raiding champs' letterboxd 2018 diary entries to answer frivolous fun questions: Highest rated movies, lowest rated movies, most watched directors, most divisive movies, etc...

Here are the players. If you are a willing and able champ and don't see your name listed, let me know...

Oh. Ok. You're thoxans now.

[thoxans]

or i'll just stick with the same username this time around so that poor magpies doesn't get confused about the constant name changes

[liquidnature]

You can add me, if you'd like.

[kanafani]

You can add me, if you'd like.

I’d like! You shall be added.

[uncanny valley]

i’m still a newborn but wouldn’t mind being added

[kanafani]

i’m still a newborn but wouldn’t mind being added

You got it!

[kanafani]

Ugh the letterboxd website is such a dumpster fire. I can't access the site. I'll try later.

[...]

Ah, it's not just that way for me then. It's been a mess the last few days, I mean even more than usual.

[sally]

aaaaaaaargh it's so annoyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i saw something about an upgrade for their app over xmas, but i don't use the app. i am NOT transferring all my ratings to another site tho.

[...]

Could always go back to Mubi and the endless scrolling. Just sayin'...

If it's any consolation, IMDb's somehow managing to make their search functions worse all the time too, which I didn't think was even possible really.

[uncanny valley]

the letterboxd twitter referred to “holiday server maintenance”...two days ago. the app especially seems to be on the fritz more often than it’s not, although that unfortunately isn’t exclusive to this past week.

[kanafani]

Maintenance would explain it. I'll try again on Monday.

[kanafani]

I'll first crunch some numbers based on 2018 diary entries. I've got diary entries for 6,515 unique movies in 2018. Out of those 6,515, 1,250 have been logged by more than one champ in 2018.

I'll then run some all-time stats based on all logs and ratings. We've collectively logged 44,943 unique movies, a number that will surely dwarf how many movies even the freakiest of champ freaks will see in their lifetimes.

[kanafani]

Here are the most logged movies in 2018. New releases dominate. I also see a couple of movie club entries in there.

[kanafani]

Here are the movies that received the highest average rating in 2018. To qualify, a movie must have received at least 4 ratings in 2018.

[kanafani]

The lowest rated movies in 2018. The inimitable Beautiful Green is the uncontested champion. Hi, Javier!

[kanafani]

All movies with a rating swing of 3+ stars in 2018:

[kanafani]

Directors with the most diary entries in 2018.

[kanafani]

Distribution of diary entries by movie release year.

[kanafani]

2018 ratings spread.

[kanafani]

Which champ watched the most of your 2018 entries in 2018?

[kanafani]

Movies rated 4.5 or 5 stars by one champ in 2018, and apparently never logged by any other champ.

[kanafani]

You might want to stay away from these: Movies rated 1 star or 0.5 star by only one champ, and apparently never ever logged by any other champ:

[kanafani]

OK... I'll now take all letterboxd champ historical data into account. I'll build a top 100 list for each decade.

[kanafani]

Here is the unofficial SCFZ letterboxd top 100 for the nineteen twenties. Only movies with 4+ ratings are eligible.
