Film and Theatre Lover!
My coverage in the build up to this years Oscars has been a little poor, mainly due to having to catch up with some of the Best Picture nominees and therefore I have only managed to put this together hours before the awards.
Which film do you want to win Best Picture?
I have decided to include the ratings from Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb and Letterboxd.

It’s that time of year again, although I have been a little slow in posting to check out the Letterboxd stats for the previous year. I love these stats and find it very interesting to keep a check on which films I have watched. Something interesting for 2024 is that I didn’t watch many films multiple times, feels strange to have only logged When Harry Met Sally twice!
I actually thought my film watching was a bit lower but it was a few more than 2023 although I don’t think the highs of 2020 and even 2021 with the main lockdown/furlough and then that smaller lockdown at the start of 2021 will ever be beaten.
As you can probably tell from my stats I did a revisit to X-Men and The Hunger Games which sees Jennifer Lawernce take the top spot, some interesting ones in the actors due to that.
What are your stats for 2024?
Did you have a film you watched on repeat and who was your top star?
This has become one of my favourite things to look at that the end of the year, actually who am I kidding it’s something I actually monitor throughout the year as well. I love stats for anything and everything because let’s face it you cannot argue against that type of information.
My film viewing in 2023 was lower than normal and that was mainly due to some personal struggles and battles, I think with that though I managed to watch mainly ok and good films, obviously the odd bad one will sneak in but I feel as though I made better choices.
This year we have a new themes cateogry thrown in as well! I did try to keep rewatches a lower and focus on first time viewings and I manged 67.5%.
What are your stats for 2023?
Which film did you watch the most, and who were your top stars?
Welcome to the third full year of my constant Letterboxd logging, which I totally love as let’s face it I love nothing more than stats. Being able to see how many times I have watched different films which incidentally isn’t as high as previous years for rewatches, although that does link with a goal I had for the year in trying to keep the percentage of first time watches high, which was 74.7%.
Then also the top actors and directors of the year is always interesting, especially when Letterboxd app/site does all the hard work for you!
Here we have my 2022 film stats!
If you don’t currently have Letterboxd, what are you waiting for? Get logging all those films, you can also write a little review.
This was my second proper full year of logging everything I watch on Letterboxd and it really is so helpful and useful for keeping track of which films you watched and being able to put tags on means you can then easily scroll through that way as well. My challenge for this year was to “review” each film as well, which meant I just put in a couple of comments about the film.
Here we can take a look at my 2021 stats and I am sure no one will be surprised with my most watched films either!
