The source for this diagram are the full lists of the 100 top favorite movies on Letterboxd, which you can read here: https://letterboxd.com/crew/list/most-fans-on-letterboxd-2022/

These lists were compiled in September 2022, so partially reflect the popularity of movies at the time. The top movies in each of these lists are:

All Users She/her He/him Xe/xyr, Ze/hir, Ze/zir
1. Interstellar La La Land Interstellar Interstellar
2. La La Land Little Women (2019) The Dark Knight Fight Club
3. Fight Club Pride & Prejudice (2005) Whiplash The Dark Knight
4. Parasite 10 Things I Hate About You Fight Club Whiplash
5. Whiplash Dead Poets Society Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse The Shawshank Redemption
6. Everything Everywhere All At Once Parasite Parasite Pulp Fiction
7. The Dark Knight Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Pulp Fiction American Psycho
8. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Lady Bird Everything Everywhere All At Once GoodFellas
9. Spiderverse Interstellar The Empire Strikes Back Parasite
10. Pulp Fiction Portrait of a Lady on Fire La La Land Taxi Driver

On Letterboxd accounts are referred to by the pronouns They/their by default. In the settings people can opt to change it to He/his, He/their, She/her, She/their, Xe/xyr, Ze/hir, Ze/zir or It/its. It's assumed that each of these lists covers all the options that include She, He and Xe/Ze. They and It users aren't covered in these lists. The diagram shows only the overlapping presence of movies in the top 100 for each pronoun set.

This project has been sitting open on my computer for 5 months now, and has gone through a lot of revision. I was initially sucked in by the Letterboxd logo and style that seemed to beg to be turned into a Venn diagram, but I never got to the point where I thought it was perfect, so I hope people think it's at least interesting.

I made this using google sheets and the graphics program GIMP.
