We’re partnering with Festival Scope to offer free online screenings of selected films from the 75th Venice Film Festival to a few lucky winners. Be quick: closes 28 August!

As Mission: Impossible – Fallout opens, we undertake our own mission to identify the community’s favorite M:I movie to date 

Following her 2010 sleeper hit Winter’s Bone, Debra Granik’s newest film Leave No Trace follows a father and daughter who have been living undetected on public land until their presence is noticed and the authorities step in.

In which we go hunting for the most divisive films on Letterboxd, and find cool cats, Justin Bieber, Tommy Wiseau and the High School Musical franchise.

Cinematographer Tristan Oliver takes us behind the scenes of the Wallace & Gromit train-chase scene, a flood on Isle of Dogs, and the time he acted with Colin Firth, Rupert Everett and Cary Elwes in 80s British romance Another Country.

Never mind what the Twitterverse was saying about Justin Timberlake; Letterboxd was having one of our busiest nights ever on Superbowl night.

Paul King tells us why Frank Capra was the greatest influence on the Paddington films, what Paddington Bear creator Michael Bond thought of his movie adaptation, and reveals the Phoenix Buchanan dog food jingle we never got to hear.

We talked to the director of The Florida Project (and Letterboxd member) Sean Baker about casting choices, privilege, the male gaze and that ending.

At the 55th New York Film Festival, Greta Gerwig, Luca Guadagnino, Todd Haynes and Julianne Moore reveal childhood movie influences and favorite films about love.

We’ve started a new community thing: the Letterboxd Showdown. Each week we’ll announce a topic, and during that week challenge you to create a list of your best, favorite or preferred films that fit, ideally with notes to validate your choices. Each list should have a minimum of five films.

As The Love Witch arrives on home release, we take a few minutes with filmmaker Anna Biller to chat about her stunning production design, juxtaposing 21st-century gender politics against a classic-movie setting (just don’t call it pastiche, homage or sexploitation).
