Top 50 Best Films of 2024
It’s that time of year again and here we go. The year 2023 was possibly one of the worst year for films. Major disappointments left and right with nothing really truly notable. Hopefully this year will be better. They just don’t make em like they use to. But maybe this year will be different.

- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsTimothée ChalametZendayaRebecca FergusonPaul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.Hated part 1 but Denis is still amongst the best living directors out there so let’s see.
Always bet on Denis. Holy shit did this man deliver in more ways than one. One after another of a great example of a director who is finally discovering that plot matters. All you need is good acting to bring about this story without being bogged down with part 1 syndrome. This is a middle chapter that stands on its own. It is a straight shot full blown epic in every sense of the word. It is the kind of movie that cares for each character to have its time in the sun. Timmothy, Z-Day, Elvis, even Rebecca Ferguson has a great arc. Not just acting but their impact to this story is all put together to make sure it stands out as the reason to make a movie like this. Like that is the surprising thing about this whole existence. It makes this story matter. That is what on screen and o man does this deliver beyond the shred of a doubt.
10/10 - DirectorLuca GuadagninoStarsMike FaistJosh O'ConnorZendayaTashi, a former tennis prodigy turned coach, turned her husband into a champion. But to overcome a losing streak, he needs to face his ex-best friend and Tashi's ex-boyfriend.I can’t help but be pretty excited to see this film. I like sport films and this seems a little different than the rest of the crop of sport films out there.
- DirectorJ.A. BayonaStarsEnzo VogrincicAgustín PardellaMatías RecaltThe flight of a rugby team crashes on a glacier in the Andes. The few passengers who survive the crash find themselves in one of the world's toughest environments to survive.I guess this counts as a 2024 film. But nevertheless this is without a doubt already in the conversation for best of any year. This would definitely have made my top 10 of 2023, but who cares tho because Netflix release strategy has been messed up since jump. I don’t see how any movie even one this good can make any noise during award season. But maybe that was never the point. I don’t know man. J.A. Bayona is such a great director and it sucks he is keep getting the shit end of the stick.
- DirectorDavid AyerStarsJason StathamEmmy Raver-LampmanBobby NaderiOne man's brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as "Beekeepers."I can’t wait to see this piece of crap. But wow am I genuinely excited to see the Statham kick ass.
It is everything I hoped for and I couldn’t love this movie anymore. Like I’m being for real it is pure slick, fast paced, action film that is bonkers all to hell. I couldn’t ask for a better time at the movies and for January, which I don’t hold that weight when it comes to comedy people saying it is a dumping ground. Yes crap movies do come out in January but crap movies come out every month. And this is no crap movie. - DirectorBao NguyenStarsLionel RichieHarriet SternbergWendy ReesOn January 28th 1985, dozens of the era's most popular musicians gathered in Los Angeles to record a charity single for African famine relief. Setting egos aside, they collaborated on a song that would make history.It’s an okay doc. Naruto did it better. I do like it but it felt more like you have to know what this is. I mean it is history but I mean it never goes beyond that but I have to rate it above an eight.
- DirectorWes BallStarsOwen TeagueFreya AllanKevin DurandMany years after the reign of Caesar, a young ape goes on a journey that will lead him to question everything he's been taught about the past and make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.A new Apes movie should be pretty interesting. I like Wes Ball and think this could be a pretty an exciting change of pace. Not seeing any trailers or even the plot of this movie does have me somewhat intrigued to see where they could take this franchise so fingers crossed.
I guess I’ll keep it here. - StarsKikunosuke ToyaReina UedaFairouz AiDenji encounters a new romantic interest, Reze.A brutal yet brilliant arc that I feel in love with every passing panel and chapter. This is a wild roller coaster one I can’t wait to see animated.
- DirectorShawn LevyStarsRyan ReynoldsHugh JackmanEmma CorrinWolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.Possibly my most anticipated film of the year.
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsZazie BeetzJoaquin PhoenixLady GagaSequel to the film "Joker" from 2019.Screw all y’all who say the first movie isn’t deep. I guess you don’t care that much about metal health.
- DirectorGeorge MillerStarsAnya Taylor-JoyChris HemsworthTom BurkeThe origin story of renegade warrior Furiosa before her encounter and teamup with Mad Max.They should have brought back Charlize Theron but I do like Joy and Fury Road is the one of the best action film to come out, ever. Not in this decade or anything like that but ever.
- DirectorFede AlvarezStarsCailee SpaenyIsabela MercedArchie RenauxWhile scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.Fede Alvarez is back baby and I can’t wait to see him tackle the Alien franchise. This does have me excited. Sad that we didn’t get Neil Blomkamp’s Alien sequel but you know what let this franchise go into a new direction without any ties to the original and the young cast seems pretty cool if you ask me.
- DirectorMike MitchellStephanie StineStarsJack BlackAwkwafinaViola DavisAfter Po is tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace, he needs to find and train a new Dragon Warrior, while a wicked sorceress plans to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm.For me this series can keep going on. I don’t need 5th Toy Story, hell I didn’t even need a 4th Toy Story but this franchise is very different in that the world is much more rich and expansive that you can tell multiple stories and still feel fresh and new so don’t disappoint.
- DirectorRose GlassStarsAnna BaryshnikovKristen StewartDave FrancoGym manager Lou falls for Jackie, a bodybuilder who is passing through town en route to a competition in Las Vegas.I’m excited to see this Katy M. O'Brian. Who is she and everyone is hyping her up to be the next big thing? Never heard of her but she looks fierce in this movie so I’m sold.
