David Lynch’s cult classic series Twin Peaks is a beloved staple of 1990s television, which brought out some of the best performances from its actors.
One of the nicest celebrities to follow on any social media, Kyle MacLachlan is the latest movie star to join Letterboxd. Known for his absurd sketches online, MacLachlan was already quite popular on TikTok, reaching over 400.000 followers in 2024. The actor also constantly references his previous works, celebrating Twin Peaks landmarks and paying tribute to characters he played in the past, from Dune‘s Paul Atreides to How I Met Your Mother‘s Captain.
Upcoming Kyle MacLachlan Projects
- Blink Twice
- The Sensitive Kind
MacLachlan kicked off 2024 with a trending role as Overseer Hank MacLean in the hit show Fallout. He took the opportunity to create a Letterboxd account, where he graced fans with multiple lists featuring his most famous characters’ favorite movies. The picks are hilarious and pure entertainment but are also great assumptions: Paul Atreides would’ve definitely loved Lawrence of Arabia, and Dale Cooper is undoubtedly the number-one fan of Hal Ashby’s Being There.
21 Michael Mann
Film Director Known For Heat
Michael Mann, a veteran filmmaker known for great movies like Heat, Collateral, and most recently, Ferrari, is the latest big addition to the Letterboxd community. Mann, known for his grave and thought-provoking action dramas, joined the site with a baffling 14 Favorite Films list. He indicates two important details in the title. First, the movies are ranked in no particular order. Secondly, the exception is Battleship Potemkin. Landing at the top of the list, the movie is, according to Mann, the greatest ever made.
Upcoming Michael Mann Projects
- Heat 2
- Untitled Tony Accardo/Sam Giancana Biopic
Mann’s picks surprised everyone. Shying away from unbeatable classics like The Godfather and Citizen Kane, the film director included fairly recent movies on the list, including Denis Villeneuve’s Incendies, Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker, and the recently released Poor Things. Mann is definitely someone worth checking out on Letterboxd, as he’s not afraid of supporting bold, contemporary cinema.
20 Rian Johnson
Film Director Known For Knives Out
Rian Johnson enjoys giving his fans a mystery to solve, and his Letterboxd account might as well be one. The filmmaker behind creative thrillers such as Knives Out, Brick, and Looper only shows every once in a while in the app, logging a couple of movies before disappearing for months. The last time he did that, in November 2023, Johnson logged three movies and went dormant once more, but not without leaving fans wondering whether his Letterboxd activity could be a clue to the next Knives Out movie, Wake Up Dead Man.
Upcoming Rian Johnson Projects
- Wake Up Dead Man
- Rian Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy
- Poker Face Season 2
Johnson’s latest Letterboxd entries were Ladies in Retirement, Ivy, and So Evil My Love; three hidden thriller gems from the 1940s. The three movies share a similar subtext, following stories of independent women — a widow, a retired actress, and a vengeful wife — that lead to murder. It could be that Johnson was only catching up with The Criterion Channel’s “Noit by Gaslight” catalog, but the Star Wars: The Last Jedi director might also be using Letterboxd to hint at Benoit Blanc’s next big mystery.
19 Michael Mohan
Film Director Known For Immaculate
One of the most active celebrities on Letterboxd is one of the most active up-and-coming directors today: Michael Mohan, the mind behind Immaculate, an acclaimed nun horror movie from 2024, and The Voyeurs, a contemporary reimagination of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. The star of two of his biggest films, Sydney Sweeney can be considered Mohan’s muse, and the actress can’t praise him enough for the faith he put in her. Hopefully, she will be the next to join the Letterboxd community.
Upcoming Michael Mohan Projects
Under the michaelmohan username, the film director showcases his love for obsessive thrillers with The Conversation and Fatal Attraction in his 4-favorite movies, but also reveals a softer side with The Graduate and Tillsammans up there. One peculiarity about Mohan is that he only gives out 5 stars. According to him, it’s the best way to recognize “the monumental effort behind each film.”
18 Joe Lynch
Film Director Known For Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
Joe Lynch is an avid Letterboxd user with over 3000 movies in his diary. He offers followers witty reviews and obscure horror recommendations for those looking for the best-hidden gems of the genre.

Under the profile name “thejoelynch,” Lynch comments on the latest horror releases and shares insightful curiosities about his movies and past collaborators. There’s no shortage of recommendations, as he logs more than one movie per day.

She only has two movies in her 4-favorite slots: Andrei Tarkovsky’s Mirror and Louis Malle’s Vanya on 42nd Street, two thought-provoking pieces of foreign cinema that celebrate the psychological appeal of images.
13 Alex Winter
Actor and Film Director Known For Bill & Ted
Known for his work in the Bill and Ted franchise, Alex Winter is yet another celebrity whose profile on Letterboxd is publicly available for fans to discover.

This year, he starred in another horror movie alongside Nicolas Cage: Arcadian.
Upcoming Jaeden Martell Projects
Under the username of jaemart, the best thing about Martell’s Letterboxd activity is how he manages to separate the actor from the film lover within, sharing his unbiased thoughts and ratings.
