Reelist press kit

A star rating asks you to score a film against nothing. Reelist asks which of two films you liked more, a handful of times per title, and builds your ranked list out of the answers. The 0 to 10 score you see is read off where a film sits in your own list, so there is never a number to invent and never a scale to keep straight.

It is not a Letterboxd replacement and does not try to be. Letterboxd is a diary: you log a film, you rate it out of five, you write about it. Reelist is a ranking: the diary is there, but the output is one ordered list of everything you have seen, built from comparisons rather than ratings. The feed is follows only, with no algorithmic timeline and no strangers, and following someone gives you a taste match with them worked out from the films you have both ranked, plus a predicted score for films you have not seen yet.

Reelist is built by one person, Sam Hopkins, at reelist.watch. It is an iPhone app, with a signed-in web companion at app.reelist.watch for the browser. There is no Android version.
