General: Top Films of 2024


As I've done each year since 2015, I'm publishing a list of my top 10 films of the year. To qualify for inclusion in the list I must have seen the film in the cinema during the year. This year I watched 107 films in the cinema. Without commenting on individual films, I have to point out that this year's films are of a lower quality than last year's films.


This makes up for there being no Marvel films in my 2023 list. 


It was difficult for me to choose the top film this year. Maybe "The Substance" should have been in first place.


This is another contender for the top spot, despite its poor critical reception compared to the first film. I don't understand why people don't like it.

4. Cobweb

And this is the fourth film that could have been top of the list. It's difficult to choose between the top four. When I watch them again I might place them differently, but I won't change this post.


This is a great film, despite my dislike for Ryan Gosling. His best role was still "Young Hercules".

6. Kill

An Indian film without dancing. Is that possible?


Bank robbers fleeing from the law run out of fuel and stop at a gas station on a desert highway. There's a tense standoff in the restaurant.


A psychopathic sheriff stalks a beautiful woman driving alone. There are no surprises, but a film doesn't have to be original to be good.


A robot is stranded on a remote island and makes friends with the animals.

10. Sayara

The first Turkish film I've ever seen. A brutal battle of the sexes.



As always, the list is very subjective. They're the films that I personally like. Please post comments, letting me know any films I've omitted in your opinion. I'd love to see the personal top 10 lists of any of my readers.
