There are still a few movies to be released (https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/2024), but it’s still probably a good time to have a look at the best movies from 2024 and discuss them.

There will be similar threads on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, and probably !animation@lemm.ee

Feel free to comment with the movies you liked the most, ideally one comment per movie so that other people can chime in and discuss.

      Yeah, i am kind of having a hard time with the choice because there are still so much gaps like Anora, the Burtalist or Nosferatu.

      Another issue is how to decide which year some movies belong to. For example “Perfect Days” from the rolling stone list.

      Perfect Days premiered on 23 May 2023 at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d’Or and won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and the Best Actor Award for Kōji Yakusho. It was nominated for the Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards

      Wikipedia. I assume it made the 24 list because the US release was in February this year, but it debuted last years in other markets and was even nominated for an Oscar.

      Personally i find it easiest to just go with whatever year Letterboxd uses, which in this case is 2023. But if for this poll we decide it to be a 2024 movie, then it might get my vote over Dune II.

      Less about movies I missed and more just ones I didn’t see because: a) I have more… “low brow” tastes than some critics and b) they got showings at film festivals but didn’t necessarily trickle down to movie theatres (and/or they are on streaming platforms).

      I will likely get around to some of them, I was trying to catch Anora before it left my local multiplex but couldn’t.
