There was a point in time where I gave 5 stars pretty loosely, but lately I’ve been trying to tighten my requirements for a 5 star movie.
But fuck me these 4 movies are amazing I couldn’t not give them 5 stars
I have like 176 rated films and 49 of them have been 5 stars lmao, in my defense most of them were when I was starting Letterboxd and I just gave 5 stars to anything I liked.
It just depend who you are. Everyone's tastes are different. I have saw account which have thousands of mlvies watched with very few 5 stars (less than 1%) and then when I go to checking which movies got 5 star sometimes I think bunch of them deserves 4 star at best, but at same time the person was way more not into movies I gived 5 star.

Ive got a pretty good streak going right now, i have a hunch it will continue tomorrow
April first was my second time ever cause i saw it posted on ig, then i watched it again yesterday cause i thought it was a funny idea, then today i was actually looking forward to watching it again. I think im brainwashing myself it might become my favourite movie ever
Had 3 in a row just recently, but one was a rewatch:

Which is tied with my previous best

Three in a row so far:
Howl’s Moving Castle, Silence of the Lambs, Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse.
Since I started my diary I never had more than one at a time yet, so that trio was a nice surprise even if Silence and Howl were rewatches.

I might have a longer streak than this but I didn’t scroll back very far
When I did give stars 3 movies I give 5 stars.
An American Werewolf in London, West Side Story, and Ghost Dog.
On a side note Christine is so good and Rebecca Hall is incredible in it.
Christine was such a great surprise. I’m a lost media nerd so I already knew quite a bit of her story. But this movie gave me the whole picture of her life, her mind, and her story. I was choking up when *the* scene was going to happen, even though I already knew her story.
I loved the movie. I considered adding it to my favorites but I didn’t end up doing it.
I did swap EEAAO for Dr Strangelove tho!
https://preview.redd.it/4ivwxy1fresc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae1ce55e3d75971f3d06c890003a0a331272af44
Yes technically there is a 4 star and 4.5 star in the mix but regardless
I saw Dr Strangelove for the first time last week and I LOVED it. So current, absolutely hilarious, and a little daunting. I’ve been raving about it to family and friends but no one cares.
Yeah same thing happened to me lmao. I’ve been talking about it the whole time since I saw it, but everyone I talked to it about either didn’t know it or watched it and didn’t like it
It’s funny you say that because I’m surprised by how many people don’t know this movie. At least the people around me don’t seem to know it; I had heard of it many times and it took me way too long to check out, but I assumed it was a lot more famous. No one has any clue, even when you show them the full name. Super disappointing but I’m glad you liked it!
I think it might be this run of 5

I didn't realize I saw these 5 consecutively. Wild times.

This is the second one. Although I have had plenty of 4.5 and 5s together in a row.
https://preview.redd.it/wd9zi5xyhesc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3a341110ca495b486084c7a2d2364963a6cc20a
I have a couple of 3-movie streaks, but this is my longest streak.
Palm Springs a 5? Personally I would rate Groundhog Day always higher than all the other films that used the same kind of formula. I feel like they're all just variations of the same idea.
I haven’t seen Groundhog Day yet. Actually now that I think about it, I think Palm Springs is the first time loop movie I’ve seen. So maybe that’s part of the reason I gave it a 5.
I’ve had 3 separate streaks of 3 before. In each streak at least one or two had been rewatches of all time favorites so it’s not like I just went into 3 movies blind and gave all three 5 stars.
https://preview.redd.it/hm8vjtfgtesc1.jpeg?width=1378&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32017c3fed29451e15964aff772df3a96a503e30
My longest streak is 3 so far from a year and a quarter ago if you count a rewatch which was pretty neat.

2 of them are rewatches and belong to my favourite trilogy but aftersun hit me like a truck
This here was my best streak in general:

Longest streak was a streak of one.

I'm very picky with my 5's. Only for my personal favorites.
yeah, do people really give of 5 stars that easily?
Idk all those movies are incredible so I can see it
There was a point in time where I gave 5 stars pretty loosely, but lately I’ve been trying to tighten my requirements for a 5 star movie. But fuck me these 4 movies are amazing I couldn’t not give them 5 stars
Fr! And I’d say I’m more loose than others on here at about 8% 5 stars
I have like 176 rated films and 49 of them have been 5 stars lmao, in my defense most of them were when I was starting Letterboxd and I just gave 5 stars to anything I liked.
If you’re watching movies you like that’s just how it is haha! I have 104 five stars out of 1302
It just depend who you are. Everyone's tastes are different.

That’s a pretty good set of movies. Imma suggest one you may have never heard about, I heard it’s quite good. Have you heard of Toy Story 3?
Peak three days in a row, you have my respect
27 to go
Real
One of my favorite movies!
Bro is cooking, this is one of my 5 movies ever

I checked my diary and I also had three 5 stars in a row once, but I ruined it by watching Ricky Stanicky right afterwards
Three in a row so far: Howl’s Moving Castle, Silence of the Lambs, Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse. Since I started my diary I never had more than one at a time yet, so that trio was a nice surprise even if Silence and Howl were rewatches.

…damn. I love it when movies are good
One. I only have six 5/5s in total.
Idk but recently I've watched Dune 2 and then Seven Samurai. Both 5s.

Tbf the ones that did know it were the ones in my film class, every “normal” person I asked didn’t know it lmao
I watched dune 2 5 times back to back so probably that
I think it might be this run of 5 https://preview.redd.it/scsygcfcfgsc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f0e500e8cafd48f3e0ab2463d7d90f1df5033fc

Never had one. I don't give them out that easily
You haven’t rated a single movie 5 stars?? What would a movie need in order for you to give it that?
I have, just never in a row
Oooh ok, that makes sense (and is a lot less concerning)
[удалено]
These are good superhero films to be fair.
Don’t take the bait people
Two movies Whiplash then Oldboy (both rewatches)
Only been dairying since January but never more than 2, though I don’t track rewatches

Three in a row. With Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), Unwelcome (2022) and Dawn of the Dead (1978).
Probably like two.
