You can bring your history to goodrecmovies from three places: a Letterboxd export, a Trakt export, or a TV Time file you saved before it shut down. It's free with a Google sign-in, a Letterboxd import takes about 2 minutes, and importing again later never creates duplicates. Here's what moves over, what doesn't, and what you get once it's in.
Last updated: October 2026
From Letterboxd
On letterboxd.com, open Settings and choose Export your data. A ZIP downloads. Upload that ZIP, or just one CSV from inside it, such as ratings.csv.
- Comes over: the films you've watched, your ratings and your watchlist.
- Doesn't come over: reviews, lists, likes and diary dates.
From Trakt
On trakt.tv in a browser, go to Settings → Data → Export now. A ZIP downloads. Upload the ZIP, or a JSON file from it.
- Comes over: your watch history, ratings and watchlist, for movies and shows.
- Episodes: a watched episode marks its show as watched. goodrecmovies doesn't track individual episodes.
From a saved TV Time file
TV Time has closed, so you can't make a new export. If you saved your TV Time data download, pick its CSV. Only the titles you watched come over, not ratings. Titles are matched by name and year, so a few may not find a match. Anything that doesn't match is listed after the import.
How your ratings carry over
goodrecmovies rates in three words: love, like or dislike.
- Letterboxd stars: Four and a half or five stars become love. Three to four stars become like. Two and a half stars or fewer become dislike.
- Trakt's 10-point scale: 9 or 10 is love. 6 to 8 is like. 1 to 4 is dislike. A 5 comes over as watched, with no rating.
What you get after
- Suggestions from your history: a feed of what to watch next, built from your ratings and history.
- A Taste Card: a shareable snapshot of your taste, ready as soon as the import finishes.
- Your watchlist, ready to work through, plus social features and movie night.
All of that is free. Pro adds where to watch on every title, a My services filter, the full Taste DNA map and CSV export; see /pricing.

Will importing twice create duplicates? No. Re-importing never makes duplicates, so you can import again after you've logged more elsewhere.
Do my Letterboxd reviews come over? No. Your watched films, ratings and watchlist do; reviews, lists, likes and dates don't.
Is there a file size limit? Yes, about 4 MB per upload. If your Letterboxd ZIP is bigger, upload just ratings.csv from it.
