Recently, a guy described how his grandfather developed his own kind of Letterbox to keep track of all the movies he had seen. For those who are not familiar, Letterboxd is a global social network that enables you to keep track of the films you’ve watched or to record and share your thoughts about them as you watch them.
User @iamakshy 06 posted a photo of his grandfather’s Letterbox on Twitter. He stated, “Long long ago, my grandfather has created his own version of Letterboxd to keep record of the movies he had watched. I’m awestruck by the fact that he’s watched Hitchcock and James Bond films in theatres.”

The four digits representing the length of the film in meters and no.of reels also will be there in the censor board certificate.
Nowadays they are turned in to running time.

Amazing 😀. I have watched most of the films in this list. "Hatari" at Minerva, the only theatre on a first floor on Broadway!. The baby elephant walk still rings in my ears – I was 9 yrs old at that time. Becket – I watched it on a dvd – a classic!

This man lived his life big time!! As we are living in a time forced to manipulate a reason to watch movies! Different theatre, different movies : none hold your GF to plan a better investment, future..
