Hi Lemmy,
I’d love to make a list/index of good websites for movie / TV reviews and recommendations with all of your help.
I will keep updating the post and add categories
Most of the things that I watch are US content or a derivative and I feel like I’m missing out. On more curated sites like rogerebert.com there are a is a lot of non-US content which I really like.
Are there more sites like Rogerebert? Is there something like an english Cahiers du Cinema? Is there a rotten tomatoes for Asian or European movies?
Maybe the mods can eventually make a nicer post and pin it.

I just want to plug criterion. They have essays on all their films that are really well done, often with the directors themselves. Also the criterion channel is amazing!
I always keep one streaming service subscribed so as not to be a total scrub, and I have a hard time imagining going back to Netflix or whatever.
They’re usually denser, often foreign films that require and reward undivided attention, but worth it imo. They often come with commentaries and interviews with the directors. Martin Scorsese for example has a bunch of content up on it.
Oh definitely - I’ll add it
I rate movies on Letterboxd and it seems pretty popular. There’s also ratings on TMDB (The Movie DataBase) but there aren’t as many reviews.
I’ve found a tonne of great films ranging from high brow to sleaze to the weird with fun co hosts https://soundcloud.com/the-important-cinema-club
Thanks, I’ll check it out and add it : )
Love this post. I’ll pin it for more visibility. And once you get a good list, I can add to the sidebar. Oh, I’d also put each link on a new line, just to make it easier to read. It looks one long link in each section, currently. Or like you said, I can make a post later and organize it if you want too.
My contributions:
Dan Murrell on YouTube. I find I’m in agreement with his reviews most of the time.
The Filmcast podcast is the only one I listen to regularly these days.
There are few very good movie listing articles here, would love your feedback though comments - https://trendpickle.com/category/movies/
