General: Top Films of 2025


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 78 films in the cinema. It was difficult for me to compile the list, because the overall quality of new films is lower than in any previous year.


It's about dancing, it's about the end of the world.


I don't understand why this film flopped at the box office. It's one of the best Marvel films for years.


It's not often I rate a documentary so highly.

4. Exit 8

A minimalist film. I gave it a low rating when I saw it, but changed my mind the next day. And I never alter my ratings after they're posted.


A good film, despite taking liberties with the source material.


This is the only film I watched twice in the cinema last year. It's not up to the quality of the John Wick films.


A woman travels the multiverse, killing every instance of the man who murdered her daughter.


It's difficult to describe this film in two sentences. Counter-terrorism and corruption.


My second Marvel film in the list this year. It didn't deserve to flop. I like Bob.


A love story between a couple who don't speak each other's language.



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.
