I don't use any of them.... I haven't seen the need yet. I keep track of most movies I watch blogging about them. Some of them slip through, but the majority will be written about.
I find it useful for the "wants to watch" feature.

I get the reason for it, but I don't like being restricted from commenting for 24 hours on stuff. Especially my own lists. I want to reply to these replies!

Lately I am using a Pinterest board to keep track of what I see - in a very essential way: film poster + IMDB, thanks to this topic I have discovered letterboxd and I am giving it a try, but the fact is when I see a film that I like or I write about at my blog or - anyway, some way - I will keep its memory alive. I am not a Linnaeus kind of guy.

I have been meaning to thank whoever it was that posted about ICM on this forum, several years ago. I have been using it a lot, and I find it does pretty much everything I want a move-cataloguing site to do, except give me great user-written reviews to read. (I do like that about Letterboxd) It seems people are more content to tick off a film than discuss it at ICM. I have discovered HUNDREDS of excellent short films (and a wholly embarrassing List of Shame) from ICM which I'll be eternally grateful for. I've tried using MUBI, but besides offering me free screenings of films I'm not really interested in seeing, I'm yet to find a selling point for it. I'd never heard of Criticker before now, and if it means I'm going to have to tick off ever film I've ever seen again, I'm might give it a miss.

I like looking through the stuff a lot of you guys are doing on Letterboxd but the site really just isn't for me. I'm not much of a writer, I just like watching movies. I also can't keep up with sites that have me rating films. I get overwhelmed with how stupid some of my Cricketer scores seem after a year and want to to blow up the whole project and start over. Icheckmovies is just a nice database of what I've seen and what I haven't,and I've discovered some good stuff just by working to complete lists I'm interested in.

Letterboxd is good because a lot of critics use the site, and you can basically stalk all their ratings.

I love Adam to death but it made me a little sad when he said on the show that he likes using Letterboxd to post reviews. It's like these boards only exist to him for show-related feedback.

I really feel that this forum is for our community, with little connection to the podcast, except occasionally there are people filtered here from the podcast.  Some of the folks in our community don't listen to the podcast anymore, and this has never really been "the place" for Adam, which is a shame.  But what we have is good, and I really have no complaints.
