Rate less. Rank more.

A wall of four-star films tells you nothing. Put two side by side and you always know which you’d rather watch again.

Your call. Two films, one tap. A surprise win moves a film further.
Upsets welcome. Paddington 2 over Oppenheimer? If that’s how you feel, Crestora keeps it.
Every film, a tier. Nine of them, each with a name worth arguing over.

How it works

From watchlist chaos to a real top ten.

Crestora is a film log and a movie ranker in one. Here’s how your films get from “all pretty good” to a clear order.

Bring your Letterboxd.
Add your Letterboxd username and your watched films come over, star ratings and all. Or search and add films one by one. Film details and posters come from TMDB.
Tap the one you love more.
Crestora pairs up films and asks which you prefer. Too close to call? Call it a draw. Haven’t seen it in years? Skip it. Every choice updates both films’ scores.
Your top three, ranked by you.
Not by critics, and not by an average of stars. Your podium, your top ten and your tiers update after every choice, and new films find their place as you watch them.

Crestora’s nine film tiers, top to bottom.
Your film tier list
From Divine masterpiece to Burn with fire.
As your scores settle, every film drops into one of nine tiers. It’s a movie tier list that builds itself from your choices, so the films you love about equally sit together and the ones you’d never rewatch sink to the bottom, where they belong.

Your diary, finally in order.
Already logging on Letterboxd? Bring your films with you. Your star ratings come along as a starting point, then a few rounds of “Your call” sort out the ties between all those four-and-a-half stars.
Draws and skips
Honest about hard choices.
Some pairs are impossible. A draw records that you like two films equally; a skip says you need a rewatch. Neither forces a fake answer into your ranking.

A film log you’ll open again.
Every film you’ve watched in one place, with your ranking beside it. Scroll back through your taste, and see where a new favourite lands the night you watch it.

Taste moves. Come back after a rewatch or a new discovery, play a few more rounds, and your list updates. There’s no final answer, just your current one.

Name the film

Some films leave something behind.

A little game from inside the app: spin the object and name the film it came from.

Which film is this from?

Questions

Film ranking, answered.

How do I rank all the movies I’ve seen?

Start with the films you remember well, then compare them two at a time with one question in mind, such as “Which has stayed with me most?” Crestora does the bookkeeping: each choice updates the films’ scores, and your top ten and tiers rearrange as you go. You don’t have to compare every pair.

Can I import my Letterboxd films into Crestora?

Yes. Add your Letterboxd username in the app and your films come over with their star ratings, ready to rank. You can also try ranking your recent Letterboxd films on this website first. Crestora isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Letterboxd.

What are Crestora’s film tiers?

Every ranked film lands in one of nine tiers based on its score: SS Divine masterpiece, S Pure brilliance, A+ Absolutely killer, A Great, B Respectable effort, C Painfully mediocre, D Utter disappointment, E Hot trash and F Burn with fire. Films you haven’t compared yet wait as unranked.

What if two films feel exactly equal?

Call it a draw. A draw tells Crestora you like them about the same, which is useful information too. If you can’t remember a film well enough to choose, skip it and come back after a rewatch.

Is Crestora a film log as well?

Yes. Crestora keeps the films you’ve watched as a collection you can browse, alongside your rankings. If you’d rather start on paper, our film log guide has a free template.
