This is a good list, although I would have put Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Twisters in my top ten instead of Challengers and Alien: Romulus.
For a list that reflects expert critical taste, I'm sharing The 10 Best Movies of 2024 from TIME Magazine.
This has been a difficult year. You may have been buffeted by anger you didn’t want to feel, and didn’t know how to productively process. Breeding grounds for misinformation—and its even more treacherous sibling, disinformation—have proliferated. AI is coming, supposedly to make our lives easier, but in reality it may just be taking our jobs. Sometimes it has seemed that soullessness has become the order of the day—as if having a soul were simply too much bother.The only movie on both TIME's list and Grace's is A Complete Unknown, although she has covered Anora, Babydoll, Emilia Perez, and Flow; they just didn't make her top ten.
But as of right now, at least, most movies are made by human beings, and they are still one of the most extraordinary ways for humans to talk to one another. The conversation may seem one-sided. After all, a filmmaker makes the movie, and then you buy the ticket or pay to stream it. But if you care about movies at all, then surely there have been times you’ve gone so deep into a film that you’ve almost taken up residence within it—or, rather, it has taken up residence within you. This is why filmmakers do what they do. Some are deeply invested in capturing the texture of life that surrounds them, so that viewers in California or Iowa or New York will have some sense, say, of what it’s like to be a woman making her way alone in a densely populated, noisy, complicated city like Mumbai. For a filmmaker, even just asking the question, “What do women want?” can yield rich, pleasurable rewards. Asking what women need is even more dangerous. Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof has risked his life to do so; you can’t put more faith in the art form than that.
Making a film is more of a crapshoot than ever, especially if you’re hoping your work will be watched in theaters, on the big screen, rather than at home on the small one. But sometimes watching movies small is a necessity: unless you live within driving distance of a good art-house theater, some of the best movies of 2024 might not have come to a cinema near you. The 10 titles I share with you here are movies that have helped me through this fraught and sometimes confounding year. I hope you’ll find your way to at least some of them—and perhaps one or two or more of them will find a home in you.
WatchMojo has more popular taste than TIME, and the channel's Top 10 Best Movies of 2024 reflects that.
Lights, camera, action! We're diving into the most spectacular cinematic experiences of 2024 that redefined storytelling on the big screen. From epic sci-fi to intimate character studies, these films pushed boundaries and captured our imaginations in ways we never expected. Our countdown features incredible movies like "Dune: Part Two," "Challengers," "The Wild Robot," and more, showcasing the incredible diversity and creativity of modern cinema! What do you think was the best movie of 2024? Let us know in the comments.WatchMojo's top ten is similar to Grace's with the substitutions of Sing, Sing, which wouldn't have qualified because of its release date, Anora, the one movie also on TIME's list, The Wild Robot, and The Substance for Deadpool & Wolverine, Alien: Romulus, A Complete Unknown, and Inside Out 2. I think cases can be made for all of them.
Follow over the jump for two worst lists.
Now for Grace's Top Ten WORST Movies of 2024.
Top Ten Worst Movies of 2024 today! Beyond The Trailer host Grace Randolph gives a review of the WORST Movies of 2024 at the box office including a breakdown as to why each one made the cut! Find out where Joker 2, Borderlands, Kraven the Hunter, Gladiator 2, Madame Web, Lord of the Rings the War of the Rohirrim, Trap, Saturday Night and Civil War land on this list! And share your own worst movies of 2024 now that you've seen some full movies and not just the trailers!Once again, here's Grace's list.
Seeing three comic book movies on the list reminds me of my gripe in 'Dune: Part Two' leads movie nominations at the Saturn Awards.
This year, there is no Best Superhero Film category. If it still existed, it would probably have had a full field of six nominees, Deadpool & Wolverine, Venom: The Last Dance, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Joker: Folie à Deux, Madame Web, and The Marvels, so lack of superhero films is not the issue; lack of quality superhero films is. In addition to the two Saturn Awards nominees, two were good or at least O.K. films with so-so box office numbers, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The Marvels, and two are likely Razzie nominees, Joker: Folie à Deux and Madame Web. I'm pretty sure both of them will be nominated for Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel and one of them will almost certainly win. I suspect the Saturn Awards didn't want to recognize such mediocrity during a down year for superhero films. That didn't stop them from nominating other potential Razzie nominees, such as Megalopolis, but the absence of a superhero movie category stands out.No surprise, the two likely Razzie nominees, Joker: Folie à Deux and Madame Web are the top two on Grace's worst list. Kraven the Hunter landing in ninth does not make me optimistic about superhero movies having their own category again at next year's Saturn Awards.
TIME would not bother with a worst list, but WatchMojo has its own, Top 10 Worst Movies of 2024.
Brace yourself for a cinematic trainwreck! We're counting down the most disappointing, cringe-worthy, and downright awful films that graced our screens in 2024. From big-budget flops to misguided adaptations, these movies left audiences wondering how they ever got the green light. Get ready to relive the year's biggest cinematic disasters! Our list includes the chaotic mess of "Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver," the sanitized biopic "Reagan," the derivative "Uglies," and the lifeless remake of "The Crow." We'll also dive into Francis Ford Coppola's ambitious failure "Megalopolis," the uninspired "Harold and the Purple Crayon," and the spy spoof gone wrong, "Argylle." Don't miss our top picks for the absolute worst of 2024! What do you think was the worst movie of 2024? Let us know in the comments.I mentioned Megalopolis as a potential Razzie nominee, and here it is, along with a bunch of other bad speculative fiction films, again including Joker: Folie à Deux and Madame Web. I think WatchMojo's list includes even more Razzie nominees than Grace's!
That's a wrap for the final Sunday entertainment feature of 2024. Stay tuned for two or three more year-end retrospectives, depending on whether I feel like posting the best TV shows along with the year in climate and weather and the overall year in review for New Year's Eve.
