From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Although we’re already more than a week into the new year, Letterboxd is still providing users with its special Wrapped feature, which offers people a personalized look at their 2024 movie and TV viewing habits.
Similar to the popular Spotify Wrapped, Letterboxd Wrapped shares with users interesting statistics, including the number of movies they logged, how many hours of entertainment they watched and their most-watched actor and director.
To find your Letterboxd Wrapped 2024, users have been told to keep an eye on their email inboxes (and spam folder) as they’ll apparently be sent all of their results in a neatly compiled email.
How to discover your Letterboxd Wrapped
In order to get the wrapped email, users must have logged at least 10 films and also must be opted-in to receive the Call Sheet newsletters via email. To check this, look under the “general” tab under account settings and make sure the third toggle is on.
However, if you haven’t received an email or are too eager to wait, you can visit the website letterboxd.com/wrapped to find your end-of-the-year summary.
Letterboxd’s top film and actors of 2024 revealed
Letterboxd has also released its overall list of the top-watched actors and highest-rated films of 2024, as determined by its 17 million users.
The massively popular movie review website compiled its end-of-the-year statistics to determine which actors and directors were the most watched, as well as the movies and TV shows with the highest average rating out of five stars.
It’s been revealed that for the second year in a row, 28-year-old Zendaya topped the charts as Letterboxd’s most-watched female actor with her two box office hits, Dune: Part 2 and Challengers.
The former was the top-rated movie of 2024 with an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars, a significant bump from its predecessor, Dune: Part 1, which earned a 3.9-star rating.

The sci-fi epic — directed by Denis Villeneuve, who was additionally named the most-watched director of 2024 — was also the most popular and most obsessively rewatched film of the year.
“I’m gonna sleep well tonight,” Villeneuve said in response to the news, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “The idea that there’s a community, the Letterboxd community of film lovers, cinephiles, that are sharing film lists and their love and their passion, it brings me hope for the future of cinema.
“Frankly what I love about that is it’s coming from people who don’t give a s*** about me,” he added. They’re just talking about the movie, you know? Thank you everybody. It goes straight to my heart.”
Meanwhile, Zendaya’s Dune co-star Timothée Chalamet was dethroned by Willem Dafoe as the most-watched actor.
Dafoe starred in an impressive four major films last year: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Saturday Night, Kinds of Kindness and Nosferatu.
