A goodreads for movies? I'd be interested in that.. But, Netflix was getting more barren. People would notice the reviews they wrote were disappearing, because the content itself got pulled (not-renewed) from Netflix. That's worse than one-time plug-pull, so Netflix didn't really have the choice.

Letterboxd wants to be that, pretty much, without tying it to one specific catalogue of titles available to stream.

I think Mubi still has a lot of reviews, regardless if movies are available there or not. There it works, I think, because their offering always was understood to be much more niche than Netflix's.

These days I just go to /r/MovieSuggestions. Nearly everything I've watched since pandemic has come from suggestions there and they are quite good. The sub probably has a year of life left before it gets overrun, so enjoy while it lasts :)
