Data & Credits

Cinephile License is built on open film datasets and a few generous tools. Here’s everything it stands on:

The data
IMDb

Genres, vote counts, runtimes, cast & crew, the Top 250, and part of the awards data.

Letterboxd community ratings

The community average rating shown next to a film, and the Letterboxd Top 250 — used only to compare against your own scores.

Drawn from public datasets of Letterboxd ratings (pkchwy, gsimonx37) and calibrated against an anonymised sample (samlearner). Your own ratings always come from the file you export yourself.letterboxd.com

Typography

Marcellus and Jost — the two typefaces the cards and this site are set in.

Both under the SIL Open Font License.SIL Open Font License

Icons & imagery

Social icons, fallback avatars, and the curtain on the loading screen.

Thanks

The taste-profile axes are inspired by Letterboxd Personality Type by Alfian Hakim — a great read on how your ratings reveal a movie personality.

Terms

Cinephile License is an independent, non-commercial project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with IMDb or Letterboxd. Film data, names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Your card is built from ratings you export yourself, for personal, non-commercial use.

Your ratings file is read once and never written to disk. The only thing kept is the finished card, so the link you share keeps working. To have your card removed, or if something here looks wrong, message me on Discord.
