Using tags is a great way of organizing your Letterboxd, record information, and also get some cool stats. Let's see what I have!

## What I Track and Main Tags
The first thing to do is to decide what you want to track or record. And for some things, I used a prefix to group them. (*I would love to have nested tags like in Obsidian, but alright*).
- `with`: if I watched something alone, with my wife, family, etc.
- `how`: streaming, bluray, TV, theater
- `service`: netflix, prime, etc
- `bluray`: owned or from library
- Will also add a 4kbluray tag if... 4k
- `device`: TV, projector, iPad, laptop
- `review`: if my review has quotes, mentions other movies, etc
- `setting`: decade/century, location, holiday, etc
- `language` and `country`: self explanatory. I'll use `language: en (dubbed)` on the rare occasion I don't watch on the original language.
- `has`: Things the movie has, like witches, ghosts, etc
Besides those grouped tags with prefixes, I also tag:
- movies that I watched over `multiple days` - like, if I start a movie one day and finish on the next
- movies I watched as `double feature`
- `underwhelmed`
- movies with great `soundtrack` or `score`
- movies where I `watched extras` (the bluray extras)
- themes, etc
