Letterboxd’s Top 50 of 2025: The Films Gen Z Can’t Stop Quoting, Crying Over, and Rewatching

Letterboxd isn’t just a review site — it’s Gen Z’s emotional diary.

In 2025, the Letterboxd Top 50 isn’t about box office hits. It’s about vibes. It’s about trauma. It’s about movies that make you feel something — even if that something is existential dread.

Leading the pack is Friendship, a quiet drama about two teens navigating grief and gender identity. It’s not flashy, but it’s real — and Gen Z is obsessed. TikTok edits of its final scene are everywhere, and the film’s Letterboxd reviews read like diary entries.

Also climbing the charts: The Life of Chuck, Companion, and One of Them Days. These films aren’t just good — they’re felt. They speak to anxiety, identity, and the weirdness of being alive in 2025.

Why it’s trending: Gen Z uses Letterboxd to log feelings, not just films. The Top 50 reflects that. It’s less about genre and more about emotional resonance. It’s cinema as therapy — and it’s beautiful.

Final Take: If you want to know what’s really resonating with young audiences, skip the critics and scroll Letterboxd. It’s raw, real, and refreshingly weird.

  1. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

  2. Thanks for your posting. I also think that laptop computers are becoming more and more popular these days, and now in many cases are the only form of computer employed in a household. This is because at the same time potentially they are becoming more and more cost-effective, their computing power is growing to the point where they may be as strong as personal computers coming from just a few in years past.
