Francis Ford Coppola Joins Letterboxd; Lists His 20 Favorites

August 28, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

After Michael Mann and Martin Scorsese, it’s Francis Ford Coppola’s turn to join Letterboxd and list some of his film recommendations.

Although filled with older classics (“Sunrise,” “Tokyo Story,” “Ashes and Diamonds”), Coppola lists ‘80s films from Scorsese (“After Hours” and “The King of Comedy”), and Spielberg (“Empire of the Sun”). His most recent selection is Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Punch Drunk Love,” released in 2002.

Coppola posted his list with a small intro: “Here is list of films that I enjoy and recommend to any fan of cinema or aspiring filmmaker. This list is NOT complete as there are so many — the list is exhausting and goes on and on. I am thankful to Letterboxd for providing such a platform for me to share these meaningful films, show appreciation to the pictures that inspired me.”

French Cancan (Renoir)
The Bad Sleep Well (Kurosawa)
The Bitter Tea of General Yen (Capra)
Shanghai Express (von Sternberg)
The Awful Truth (McCarey)
The Ladies Man (Lewis)
The Burmese Harp (Ichikawa)
Tokyo Story (Ozu)
The Last Laugh (Murnau)
The Blue Angel (von Sternberg)
Splendor in the Grass (Kazan)
Punch Drunk Love (Anderson)
Empire of the Sun (Spielberg)
Sunrise (Murnau)
Joyless Street (Pabst)
A Place in the Sun (Stevens)
The King of Comedy (Scorsese)
After Hours (Scorsese)
Ashes and Diamonds (Wajda)
Invitation to the Dance (Kelly/Barbera/Hanna)

Coppola, much like Scorsese and Mann, will likely not be updating his Letterboxd account anytime soon. He probably joined as a way to promote his upcoming film, “Megalopolis,” which is set to hit theaters on September 26. In the next week, Letterboxd will also be dropping an interview they conducted with Coppola.
