Letterboxd's Top 250 movies, based on the average weighted rating of all Letterboxd users.

Films should have a minimum of 2,500 ratings to be eligible to enter the list. As a sister to this list, we also have a Top 50 films with less than 2,500 ratings, so be sure to check out the more obscure gems there!
