Six To See Best of 2024

Best Films of 2024

1. Dune: Part Two: this year we got the sequel to Dune and it was amazing. The visuals were wonderful once again. This was a film you had to see in theatres on the big screen and that you can watch again and again.
2. Challengers: this was the year of Zendaya who stars in two of the best films of the year. This film was also very well shot, the editing was amazing, as well as the acting and especially the music. It was a very sexy film that made tennis popular again.
3. Love Lies Bleeding: my favorite actress is Kristen Stewart and this year one of her best films was released. This film was just amazing with Stewart and Katy O’Brian stealing the show.
4. Wicked: 2024 was the year of the musicals and for me the best musical film was Wicked. The visuals, the colors, the music, it was a lot of fun to see this film. The amazing Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were made for this and are just incredible. I had chills at the end of the film and I look forward to the sequel coming next year.
5. Deadpool & Wolverine: As a big Marvel fan I was looking forward to this film and it was worth it. Ryan Reynolds did it again with this film and brought Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine. We also got some other actors reprising a previous role, including Chris Evans as the Human Torch. I never thought I would hear him say ‘Flame On’ again.

6. Conclave: one of the surprises for me. You wouldn’t think that a film about the church and the Pope would be so chilling. Ralph Fiennes is incredible in this film, which ends with a twist you will never suspect.
7. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: Anya Taylor-Joy was amazing as Furiosa in this film. It didn’t do as well in the box office as expected, but I really loved this film and I hope we’re getting more Mad Max films in the future.
8. Gladiator II: after more than 20 year Ridley Scott was back with Gladiator. This sequel wasn’t as good as the original film, but I was still really entertained.
9. The Zone of Interest: one of the films you have to see in your life, but that you will only watch once. I had chills watching it and will never forget this film.
10. Civil War: as a journalist it was nice to see this film. It was both entertainment as well as educational. I hope the world will never go as bad as in this film.

11. The Fall Guy: this was a fun action film with Ryan Gosling who plays a stuntman. It’s a film you watch when you’re feeling down and want to see some fun.
12. I Saw the TV Glow: one of the best horror films of this year. Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine are amazing together in this film.
13. Inside Out 2: the first Inside Out film was already amazing and this year the sequel was released, which is also amazing.
14. Anora: one of the best awarded films of this year. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d’Or, the first American film to do so since 2011’s The Tree of Life. Mikey Madison, who plays the title role, had her big breakthrough this year with this film and she will probably have a great career from now on.
15. Emilia Pérez: besides Wicked this is one of the musical films that did really well this year. The cast is amazing and it’s very special and different from other films. The film also premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize and its female ensemble won the Best Actress award.

16. The Substance: the return of Demi Moore, who is incredible in this film, just like Margaret Qualley. It’s one of the best horror films of this year.
17. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: this year was also the return of Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice. This time we also followed the daughter of Lydia, played by Jenna Ortega.
18. The Outrun: an amazing film with Saoirse Ronan that is maybe less known but that’s really worth it. Ronan is amazing in this film.
19. The Room Next Door: Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore are wonderful together in this film. It’s beautifully done.

24. A Real Pain: Jesse Eisenberg not only stars in this film alongside Kieran Culkin but also wrote, directed and produced it.
25. Hit Man: 2024 was also the year of Glen Powell who is amazing in this film. He also co-wrote this film with director Richard Linklater.

26. The Royal Hotel: a thrilling Australian film directed by Kitty Green with Julia Garner and Jessica Henwick in the lead roles.
27. Blink Twice: the directorial debut from Zoë Kravitz with Channing Tatum in the lead role. It’s a psychological film with quite some crazy stuff happening in it.
28. Smile 2: the sequel to Smile from 2022. Naomi Scott plays the lead role as Skye Riley in this film and she’s amazing. Jack Nicholson’s son Ray is also very creepy in this film.
29. The Apprentice: Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump is not something you immediately would have thought, but he’s incredible in this film, just like Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn.
30. Mean Girls: I was already a big fan of Renée Rapp and became an even bigger fan after seeing her in this film. This remake of the classic from 2004 was not as good as the original film, but it was still fun.

36. His Three Daughters: this drama film was really good, especially because of the performances from the three lead actresses. Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen, who play three estranged sisters, were amazing in this film.
37. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire: the Ghostbusters were back this year and had to fight a monster who made everything in ice. We got the original Ghostbusters together again because of this film.
