Films

Since the end of 2024 I’ve been logging and writing short reviews for all the films I watch. Originally I did this on my Letterboxd profile, but in the spirit of owning my own data I’ve switched to using my website as the primary source and copying them over to Letterboxd afterwards.

If you’re looking for a particular film, you can search by title:

Here are the most recent films I’ve watched. Click through to see my comments:

Everyone has different meanings for star ratings (or at least they do on Letterboxd!). I rate films based on how much I enjoyed watching them. My rough scale is:

RatingMeaning
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star Absolute favourite. I could watch any of these at any time and be happy about it.
Full starFull starFull starEmpty starEmpty star Fine. Don't begrudge having seen it, but also not going to rave about it.
Full starFull starEmpty starEmpty starEmpty star Meh... It wasn't bad, but was it worth watching?
Full starHalf starEmpty starEmpty starEmpty star Didn't enjoy but there was some redeeming quality that means I might give it a rewatch.
Full starEmpty starEmpty starEmpty starEmpty star Disliked, or was completely bored by. Definitely not for me.
Half starEmpty starEmpty starEmpty starEmpty star Hated. Offensively bad, for some reason or other.

I also sort every film I’ve logged into a global ranking, running from my favourite film down to my most hated. I’ll sometimes adjust ratings when this ordering makes it obvious I’ve been inconsistent. You can see the list here:

Every film I’ve watched since I started logging, ranked.

Obviously super subjective, and subject to change often and arbitrarily.

250 films

You can see other lists on the film lists page.

I’m still working out the best way to expose some of the data. In the meantime, you can see all my reviews over on the film reviews page.
