Every year, as December rolls around and everyone starts posting their Spotify Wrapped playlists, another group on the internet quietly gets excited for something else: Letterboxd Wrapped. If you spend your time logging films, rating them, reviewing them, and scrolling through other people’s movie diaries, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Letterboxd Wrapped has become one of the platform’s most beloved annual features, turning your movie-watching habits into a personalized, visual summary of your entire cinematic year.

It’s more than just data—it’s a look into who you were as a film watcher over the past twelve months. And even if you don’t obsessively track every single movie you watch (though many of us do), seeing that clean, colorful recap pop up in your feed always feels like a mini celebration.

What Exactly Is Letterboxd Wrapped?

At its core, Letterboxd Wrapped is a year-end overview that compiles and presents your movie-watching stats in an organized, shareable format. It gathers everything you logged throughout the year—your ratings, your reviews, your viewing streaks, your most-watched genres and performers—and condenses it into a handful of beautifully designed cards.

Think of it as your movie year distilled into snapshots. It’s reflective, a little bit revealing, and sometimes unintentionally hilarious. If you’ve ever wondered what your movie habits say about you, Wrapped is the closest thing to a cinematic personality test.

What makes it even better is how accessible it is. While Letterboxd Pro unlocks more detailed stats all year long, the Wrapped feature is free for every user when it drops at the end of December.

Why Movie Fans Look Forward to It

Part of the charm of Letterboxd Wrapped lies in how it makes your year feel like a story. You might not realize how many horror films you watched in September, or how often you returned to your comfort directors. Wrapped surfaces patterns you didn’t notice and highlights your habits in a way that feels playful instead of judgmental.

It also fuels conversation. People love sharing their stats and comparing them with friends. You get to see who watched the most movies, who fell down a weird genre rabbit hole, and who somehow rewatched the same film five times. These little discoveries turn into end-of-year group chats, debates, and friendly teasing.

Wrapped also gives you a sense of accomplishment. Finished a long list of classics? Tried new genres? Logged more reviews than ever? The feature acknowledges everything you consumed and engaged with during the year, turning your viewing into something worth celebrating.

What Letterboxd Wrapped Usually Includes

The platform tweaks the design a bit each year, but generally, these are the sections you can expect from your personal Wrapped:

1. Total Films Logged

Your total number of watched movies—both first-time watches and rewatches. For many, this is the stat they’re most curious about, especially if they set yearly viewing goals.

2. Top Genres

This card reveals which genre dominated your year. You might be surprised to discover that you actually watched more thrillers than dramas, or that animated films crept into your top three.

3. Most-Watched Actors & Directors

It shows which performers or filmmakers appeared most often in your logs. Sometimes the results are expected; other times, your most-watched actor ends up being someone who appeared in three wildly different movies you forgot about.

4. Favorite Films

Your highest-rated films usually get a spotlight, and sometimes the feature pulls out standout reviews you wrote or moments that gained lots of likes.

5. Logging Patterns

Some Wrapped versions show your busiest movie-watching days or months, which is always fun. Maybe you binged movies during summer vacation or watched none in February.

6. Shareable Graphics

Letterboxd designs bold, clean cards specifically for posting on Instagram, TikTok, X, and other platforms. For many film lovers, sharing Wrapped is just as fun as generating it.

When It Arrives Each Year

Letterboxd typically releases Wrapped toward the end of December, usually in the final week. The exact day varies slightly from year to year, but users often recognize the moment instantly because the app’s home page sprinkles in hints or banners announcing it. Once it’s available, you can open it right from your home page or find it in your Stats tab.

Do You Need Letterboxd Pro to Use It?

No—you don’t need Pro or Patron to access your yearly Wrapped. It’s available to all users the moment it launches. However, Pro subscribers do get more detailed analytics all year round, such as deeper genre charts, rating breakdowns, and watchlist stats. Wrapped itself, though, is meant to be an inclusive celebration for everyone on the platform.

Why Wrapped Matters to the Community

Letterboxd Wrapped isn’t just a feature. It’s an event. It strengthens the sense of community on the platform by giving everyone something to talk about at the same time. It also encourages people to reflect on what they watched, explore films they missed, and set new goals for the next year—whether that’s finally tackling their watchlist or digging into a director’s full filmography.

Wrapped turns movie logging into a ritual. For many fans, it closes the year with a sense of nostalgia and opens the new one with motivation. It’s a fun reminder that film watching isn’t just entertainment—it’s a personal journey, and every year has its own cinematic rhythm.
