Part one

The stats panel

These sections mirror the panel Letterboxd Pro shows, section for section and in the same order. Anything below that needs film or crew metadata stays empty until the TMDB cache is built.

Totals

Collections

Film series where at least one part has been watched.

List progress

Progress through the sixteen curated lists the pipeline tracks.

Countries ranked

A ranked table, not a map. Drawing real borders needs a geographic boundary file, and this site ships no such file, so the same figures are shown as proportional bars.

Part two

Extras

Nothing below appears in the Letterboxd panel. It is computed from the same history, plus TMDB where a figure needs the crowd's opinion, a runtime, or a credit. Each block says what it is missing when it has nothing to show.

At a glance

The scalar figures, before the charts that unpack them.

Hot takes

The films where your rating and the crowd's part company by the widest margin. Both ratings are shown out of five stars.

Against the crowd

You rated it higher
You rated it lower

Liked, but rated low

Films you pressed the heart on and then marked down anyway.

Viewing rhythm

When you watch, how long you go without, and how quickly you log it.

The headline figures

When you watch

By day of the week
By month of the year

Logging lag

Days between watching a film and writing it into the diary, counted over the entries where the export records both dates.

Viewing heatmap

One square per day. Darker squares are days with no dated entry.

Your taste

How you use the rating scale, and whether anything predicts the score.

Rating drift

How long after release you watch

Runtime distribution
