Yes. Importing is free for all members, and there are three ways to import:
- Use the ‘Import your data’ link in Settings (also available here) to import films, ratings, diary entries, reviews and more into your account using the Letterboxd CSV format. Our importer is compatible with the export format used by IMDb, and can be made to work with other export files by editing the column headers in those files to match the ones we expect.
- Import directly to a list using the above CSV approach, with support for both IMDb and Delicious Library formats. (You’ll need to use those services’ export functions first—see below.)
- Import directly to your watchlist using the above CSV approach.
When performing an import, you’ll be able to check and fix any mismatched titles before confirming the changes, and to select relevant options depending upon import type—such as whether you’d like all imported titles to be marked as watched, or all existing titles in a list to be removed first as part of the process.
To export a list from IMDb: go to your IMDb Lists page, find and open the specific list, scroll to the bottom and click Export this list. You’ll receive a CSV file which you can import via the edit page of an existing list, or as part of creating a new list. (For more information, see our Migrating from IMDb guide.)
To export from Delicious Library (version 2 or 3): use the File > Export > Export to Another Application… option. Select the shelf or library to export, select the XML output format, and click Export… to choose the output file name and location. You’ll receive an XML file which you can import via the edit page of an existing list, or when creating a new list.
