Sightlines · your films

Your films

What do your films say about you? Bring them any way you like: a Letterboxd list or watchlist, a screenshot of your favorites, a CSV, or titles typed one per line. Or bring nothing and choose between films two at a time until a reading forms.

We read your films against every film in Sightlines: what each is about, how it feels, what it descends from and what it shaped, and the viewing threads it belongs to. No ratings needed. The lists you make stay in this browser, under My stuff.

Bring films above, or open an example from any panel.

Read your taste

Your film personality

A reading of what you are drawn to: where you are on the tone sliders, sensibility shared by your films, and the founding films your taste descends from. No list? Choose between films, two at a time, and the reading builds from your choices instead.

Which of your films go together

We sort your list into small groups of films that reward being watched together.

Read your Top Four

What your four Letterboxd favorites say

Want to know what your Top Four says about you? Or your last four watched? We read them against other lists we have read, we measure their tone, and look up their film influences. Just paste your Top Four screenshot or type it.

Explore related films

More films like these

Get recommendations from a starting film, director, list, or screenshot. Adjust the recommendations grid by tone, narrow it by category, or group it by how each film relates to yours — kindred, lineage, sideways, the same thread. If we have your taste reading, filter the recommendations by your tastes. As always you can share, screenshot, and save the results.

Find the lines of sight

Where your films come from, and what they led to

Discover the classics your films descend from and the films they shaped. Learn how the influence works and which films share their sensibility. We add films that sit sideways — films that aren’t the obvious next one, but an interesting next one.

Share the list as a link, print it or save it as a PDF, export a CSV that imports straight into Letterboxd, or save the posters as one image to post.

Make a course

A guided run through your films

We pick four of your films that go together and write a short course in about fifteen seconds. It says why these four belong together and what to watch for in each. Short enough to share.
