Hidden Gems: Highest Rated With Less Than 15K Ratings

Sorted by average rating. Must have at least 1,000 ratings and an average rating of 3.5 or higher.

Last fully updated: 7/4/2024

UPDATE 3/25/2025: I have decided to increase the maximum rating threshold of this list to match the official Letterboxd Top 250, which requires a minimum of 15k ratings. I will slowly be adding in the newly qualifying films over the next few weeks.
