Just watched wicked, thought it was great.

Watched The Substance last night and felt the farcical come comedic NYE theatre scene ruined what was on track to be a brilliant movie

Okay, going with the criteria of things that came out in one way or another in 2024:

1. Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World - one of the funniest films I've ever seen, and one of the most genuinely brilliant insights into the current state of things. Just absolutely nails it.
2. The Zone of Interest - a masterpiece that almost a year since I saw it still haunts me. Again, a perfect encapsulation of the state of the globe in 2024.
3. Last Summer - prickly film that has stayed burrowed in my mind since seeing it.
4. Evil Does Not Exist - a beautiful film. Ryusuke Hamaguchi is one of my favourite film makers working today.
5. No Other Land - a stunning documentary that's sadly very underseen.
6. All of Us Strangers - I've never heard as much sobbing in a cinema as I did watching this. Incredibly moving, a beautiful little film.
7. Furiosa - covers some of Fury Road's familiar ground but, hey, I adored Fury Road. Such great action.
8. About Dry Grasses - similar to Last Summer, a very prickly film that challenges the audience and doesn't provide easy answers.
9. Trap - such a fun ride. Nobody does it like M Night! Astoundingly good Josh Hartnett performance.
10. La chimera - I've always liked Josh O'Connor and I'm glad he had such a breakout year.

Wild robot was a solid film

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Probably Romulus, Gladiator 2 & The substance, but only really like Romulus.

Poor year for movies imo.

Ok, largely caught up. Amazing year for me personally. Looking at my list it is clear that I like dark and f***ed up things.

As is spinynorman, sticking with Australian release dates. Otherwise Nosferatu would be up there.

1. Dune: Part Two
2. The Zone of Interest
3. Red Rooms
4. The Substance
5. I Saw the TV Glow
6. Love Lies Bleeding
7. Anora
8. Challengers
9. Kinds of Kindness
10. Oddity

I can't even think of 10, not a great year for movies.

This will be an unpopular choice, but Ricky Stanicky would be up there with the best I've seen this year, certainly the best comedy.
Deadpool / Wolverine was a let down for me.

I actually re-watched some TV series this year because the movie offerings weren't great.

For another unpopular opinion I liked Better Man with the monkey!

But Dune 2 and Romulus were my favourites from last year, I didn’t watch too many tho.
