Iconic 2014 Film, Nominated for 5 Oscars, Has the No. 1 Most Fans on the Internet
Interstellarhas endured as one of the defining films of the 2010s. Despite not personally seeing it yet, I have undoubtedly seen the limitless impact the film has had not just on my generation, but the film landscape as a whole.
It's hard to go anywhere on the film side of social media and not hear Hans Zimmer's iconic organ score or see Matthew McConaugheysobbing as he watches his family grow old without him. Christopher Nolan no doubt made a classic that cemented his status as a big dog of Hollywood after his massively successful Batman trilogy.
Interstellar is a film that I see countless amounts of people list as a favorite, both online and in person. That's why it was no surprise to see it topping Letterboxd's "Films with the most fans" list.
What Is Letterboxd?
Letterboxd is a social media platform that has really grown in the last few years. The website is dedicated to creating a platform for film fans everywhere. You can log movies you've watched, write reviews, rate films, make lists, and interact with fellow users. It's a super interesting platform that has really expanded movie watching for my generation, and it has helped expose people to a lot more obscure films that they may not be aware of.
Possibly Letterboxd's most well known feature is the 4 favorites feature, where users can attach their 4 favorite movies to their profile. The aforementioned list was averaged across the entire website, with the top spot being the film that appears in the most amount of people's top 4. Effectively, that makes Interstellar the most popular movie on the internet.
Above is the full top ten of the list, which is a pretty star-studded group of films. In an app that is much more predominantly used by the younger generations, it's very interesting to see which films emerge as the most popular with that group.
Interstellar's legacy is still being written today, and I'm sure it will be even further written as the young filmmakers of this era grow up and cite this movie as a huge influence on them.
