A further companion piece to Dave Vis' list of Letterboxd's official top 250 films of all-time. To be updated once a month. The list is ranked by the number of fans on Letterboxd. A “fan” is a member with a particular film as one of their four favorites.
The Crew HQ account will continue occasional check-ins of the most fans stats, including by gender identity and the ratio of fans to viewers. See also, the four favorites that the Letterboxd editorial and social teams have collected from actors and filmmakers. Drew keeps track of the 'most popular backdrops', which are the films most commonly placed as the first favorite by Patron members and Crew so the backdrop is displayed at the top of their profile page.

• Top 100 Films from Patron Members (forty-nine dollar version)
