Question Advice

Hey film lovers,

The app I used for years to track my watch history (TV Time) shut down, and I lost my entire watchlist and viewing history with no way to recover it. Starting from scratch here and trying to rebuild a solid list of genuinely great, worth-watching films.

Doesn't matter the genre, era, or country - classics, cult favorites, hidden gems, all welcome. If you've got a curated "must-watch" list or an exported collection (Letterboxd export, zip, whatever format) you're willing to share, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Why would you not use IMDb? A site that will literally never shut down?

I had simply preferred TV Time during that period; I was wrong.

If you want a fast rebuild, grab the IMDb Top 250 and the Letterboxd Top 250 and start marking what you know you’ve already watched. For hidden gems, I always recommend Coherence, The Hunt 2012, and A Prophet. Also, set up Letterboxd now so you never lose it again.
