I finally bothered to import my data from Criticker for the hell of it: https://letterboxd.com/actionberg/

I like certain features, especially the diary/rewatching but I don't like that for such a robust filtering system, I can't even select country of origin. I also hate the five-star system so I'll just be straddling both websites forever.

Same, I love criticker's rating calculation system, and how much leeway you get in how you rate things. If only the two could combine forces and make one amazing site with the strengths of both.

I'm in literally the same position! Criticker is better at almost everything except the diary stuff. And of course Letterboxd has a nicer looking site in many ways. https://letterboxd.com/tychocelchuuu/

Gangster Party has 2 watches, as does Santa Mouse and the Ratdeer, and Womack.
Two Degrees has 1, as does Little Orphan Annie's A Very Animated Christmas. Excepting some festival films I've added to TMDB, those are my lowest-watched films.

I don't understand the weighting Letterboxd uses for their popularity sorting. Something with 5 views and 1 list appearance is sorted as less popular than something with 5 views and 0 list appearances. I kind of think the arbitrary look to the sorting is why they haven't bothered to added an option to sort it in the other direction.

what's the least popular film you've all seen? not counting a weird short by a film student, mine is a bad Troma thriller from 1992 called State of Mind, with 22 views and on 22 lists. The next most popular one actually less views, but is on more lists.

were there any likes on the second film? as far as I can tell the "popularity" is just the sum of views + lists + likes

Weird, I'm seeing Welcome to September (3 views, 3 lists, 0 likes) sorted lower than Santa Mouse and the Ratdeer (2 views, 0 lists, 0 likes).

Lowest sorted on my Films list is The Doula, from the Women in Horror film fest. Jumping up over the rest of those self-submitted entries, it's Circus Maximus. Which deserves its obscurity, it sucks. Low-effort gross-out edginess with a half-assed swing at meta-narrative regarding script-writing.

Mine is Atomic Filmmakers: Hollywood’s Secret Film Studio, an alright documentary on filmmakers recruited to record atomic bomb tests. I remember it was obscure enough that I had to add it to Criticker and I'm not sure if I could even find an imdb for it back then.

Next up is Let's All Hate Toronto, a Canadian classic with a combined 26 watches -- all from Toronto I'm sure.

There's a few shorts in there, but the next full length is Sextemplet, a Swedish documentary about this sex club in Sweden hosted in the basement of this old theatre because their old venue burned down. Very interesting, provoking, and touching. I would definitely recommend it. It was also what my ex-girlfriend took me on for our first date at the Hot Docs festival :3: (it was opened with another interesting short about a black gay couple who go cruising I think, unfortunately I can't remember the name of that one).

America's $1 Funnyman

I lost a lot of time reading lists, but it can be addictive folks. And for balance, some reviews that baffled me. This review for American Pop (1981), a Bakshi offbeat heart-on-it's-sleeve epic about generations of Jewish American musicians. "OK Boomer: the movie". Also this review for Scarface: "It loses points for that montage. It's kinda long." In good fun, just some nutty stuff on there.

Here's my thing. I didn't use it for a couple years but am back at it, gonna put the missing recent imdb years on there.

Yeah, go to their Films, then use the filters to pick the genre (or not) and tap the Watched filter option to narrow it down to just the ones you have or haven’t seen.

Not quite what I'm looking for. What I'm trying to get is a list of all horror movies that he hasn't seen from all horror movies ever/by decade. I can fade mine from his list, but I want a list of what he hasn't seen. Or, ultimately, I'm trying to build a list of every horror movie that neither of us has seen.

Ah, sorry, misread what you posted. You could go to https://letterboxd.com/films/genre/horror/ and apply those filters (Hide watched films) to get the results for your account, but I think for another user's results, they'd have to do it themselves. No easy way to add them all to a list from there, as far as I know.
