That looks lovely, but as most other movie communities there's no import option. After having rated hundreds of movies on IMDB and Trakt, I really don't like the idea of starting from scratch, again.

There is an import option for pro users: https://letterboxd.com/about/importing-data

I've been using Letterboxd extensively for 6 months now - after 13 years of rating everything on IMDB. The experience of rating and reviewing a movie is superior on Letterboxd, definitely. But when I need discussions about a movie, or if I need to know an exact detail (revenue, soundtrack,...), I still head up to IMDB.

TMDb just yesterday launched discussions for each movie and TV show

you can have discussion in comments on trakt.tv or try to convince admin of TMDb to enable it again

This looks interesting, as I use imdb mainly for lists, and they are too inconsistent to me - there's a watchlist, but no watched-list, for example. Or I haven't found it, because the ui is so inconsistent. Does Letterboxd have the option to export your activity / lists?

Maybe Trakt would also be an alternative for you? They have a "watched" list as it's their main feature. Lots of media centers automatically submit what you watched to the site so it's great to keep track of things.

Here's what it looks like for a profile with some data:

TMDb just added Discussions feature, other then that they have watchlist, ratings, etc

trakt.tv and TMDb are better options than letterboxd

the watched list is the list with your ratings.

That's not the same, as I rarely rate movies I've watched.

on TMDb you have discussions, can import watchlist and ratings from IMDb lots you can create any list you want (watched but not rated as you mention for instance) plus of course it has discussions for each movie

+1 for letterboxd. It offers both great value as a "single player" and a "multi player" website, and is in my eyes a model for what a social network centered around a hobby/interest should be like.

it doesn't have boards so it's useless as replacement of imdb boards, better use comments on Trakt.tv or try to convince admin of TMDb to reenable forums for each movie again

Hi, I couldnt find the discussion boards for each movie. Either I am blind or this isnt a alternative.

check TMDb, the most known open alternative to IMDb added discussions just yesterday
