The 10 Best Movies of 2024 (So Far)

[@JustinWilliams367]

TOP 10 BEST MOVIES OF 2024 SO FAR: 1. Dune Part 2 2. Hit Man 3. Inside Out 2 4. Society Of The Snow 5. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 6. Monkey Man 7. Abigail 8. Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes 9. Butterfly In The Sky 10. Jim Henson: Idea Man

[@pesky716]

Furiosa is my #1 film of the year so far, and I’m so unbelievably disheartened it didn’t make more money. George Miller is 79 years old, and his Mad Max films are singular in style and vision. If George Miller isn’t able to make his next Mad Max film because of Furiosa’s box office, I will never be able to forgive that.

[@misaelbarrientos4922]

I know Tom Hardy himself said he doesn’t think it’s happening. Tragic if trur

[@LoganNagol]

It was the first Mad Max movie I saw and I was blown away. That will indeed suck if it’s the last one by Miller

[@misaelbarrientos4922]

@@LoganNagol oh wow! Very first? Not even Fury Road?

[@palmmahir3888]

Same here, one of my favorite of the year so far.

[@desertsuede4]

The audience was right to stay away IMO. Ugly, unnecessary, and overlong. Seeing the clips from the much better and better looking Fury Road at the end was like pouring salt in the wounds.

[@awr2217]

It was great that your list included some dramas. In a movie landscape that's filled with so many SGI action fantasy films, it's refreshing that there are film makers still producing quality thought provoking movies. Really looking forward watching 'Thelma', 'Ghostlight', 'Tuesday' and 'Love Lies Bleeding'.

[@JohnMcVay1]

Anyone saying that “Civil War” takes too strong of a political stand, is insane. 💯

[@Internatube]

There were more politics in Captain America Civil War and Force Awakens than in Civil War.

[@Betared2003]

I would say it was more heavy handed...it's a good film but it could have been great.

[@ArynWellspring]

It doesn’t take a stand at all. It’s a movie too afraid to actually say anything

[@vincentbatten4686]

I wouldn't be surprised to find out years later that there was a bunch of dissension amongst the creatives behind the movie. Its commentary is anemic and splintered, and it really seems like there was a difference in what people wanted this movie to be behind the scenes.

[@Betared2003]

@@ArynWellspring It didn't have anything profound to say, and frankly it stole quite a bit from Oliver Stone's Salvador. But it still had the POC in the refugee camp wthile the whites were in suburbia. The violence was done by white men while you had an extremely unrealistic scene with an elderly black actor. And all the throwaway lines where the PC fear stuff. Garland didn't really come up with anything original.

[@lastminutesavior]

[@KingOfMadCows]

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Furiosa. I knew it would probably be good, but I didn't expect it to be so great. I don't think it's fair to compare Furiosa to Fury Road since it's such a different film. It's a slower, more somber and contemplative movie. There are so many great details that are easy to miss with just one viewing. And Furiosa does so much more to flesh out the wasteland. It develops the politics, economy, logistics, culture, and power dynamics of the wasteland. I am just really impressed at how much thought George Miller has put into every aspect of this world. This is the kind of world building that I wish every sci-fi/fantasy/comic book franchise had. Disney/WB/Paramount/Universal/etc. all need someone like George Miller as the main creative director behind their franchises.

[@ChrisM-yq2pq]

Furiosa will be appreciated as time goes along

[@patriciascolafeleppa5542]

Sing Sing is the BEST MOVIE of the year and deserves nominations in most categories. The movie was shot on 16 mm film, in 19 days, with a very small crew. The DP, Pat Scola should be nominated for an Oscar for cinematography because the visual look, the lighting, the film choice, all created the naturalistic atmosphere to tell the story. Accompanied with Bryce Dessner's score that sells the beautiful scenes and intimate facial expressions. And kudos to the director, Greg Kwedar, who allowed dialogue to be ad-libbed at times, which created the emotional essence throughout the film that tugs at your heart. The cast deserves best ensemble because 90% of the cast are the formerly incarcerated men that participated in the RTA theater program while in Sing Sing and that authenticity shines. And what can you say about Coleman Domingo.... he deserves the Oscar this year, his performance is perfectly understated, and he allows the other men to shine because this is their story. Well Done!! Also, Clarence Maclin and Paul Raci both deserve best supporting nominations. Their performances tie the strings that pull the film to its brilliance. Best movie overall in a very long time and well worth the emotional journey.

[@BigDsportsfan92]

I've only seen ten movies so far this year, so here are the eight that I liked: 1. Dune: Part Two 2. Perfect Days 3. Butterfly in the Sky 4. Cabrini 5. God and Country 6: Jim Henson: Idea Man 7. Inside Out 2 8. Spy x Family: Code White

[@JeremyStrickling]

Cabrini was amazing. Truly inspiring.

[@yorickmoran6327]

19:02. I saw Didi with one of my closest friends who worked on the film back in April. Seeing my hometown (Fremont, CA) represented in a cinematic way was so surreal. It's probably my favorite film of the year so far, mainly due to personal sentiments and growing up around that early KZbin era.

The Architecture Of Love (An Indonesian movie) 5. Inside Out 2 6. Challengers 7. Furiosa A Mad Max Saga 8. Agak Laen (An Indonesian movie, it's now available on Netflix if you wanna check it out 😊) 9. Hit Man 10. In The Land Of Saints and Sinners (Liam Neeson in his return to form in the action genre, great movie! 🙌) There are others that I enjoyed but couldn't make it to the top 10 like Civil War, Monkey Man, Abigail, The Fall Guy, and I Saw The TV Glow. I have more "best of the year list" on TV rather than movies so might be nice to share some of my personal picks if Dan makes a "Best TV Series of the year so far.

Going alphabetical.... The Bikeriders, Civil War, Dune Part II, The Fall Guy, Ghostlight, (saw incredible film, also has a lot of subtle moments in it that I liked) In A Violent Nature, Late Night with the Devil, Lisa Frankenstoen, (polarizing film very messy at points but it's really grown on me) Love Lies Bleeding, The Promised Land (made the foreign Oscar shortlist but didn't get nomed.

Nice to see "Ghostlight" acknowledged. Small film, unheralded, full of small truths and big (yet quietly rendered) emotions. Thank you.

They also tend to bury films like "Ghostlight."

I mean I LOVED the book; it totally broke my heart. However, I hated the ending. And I understand why the author wrote this particular ending- it is so effective- but I loved the character of Kathy so much I hated the ending. I can't believe a man wrote the character of Kathy. I probably like her as much as I like Jane Eyre, which is saying a lot. Thanks for the review. I didn't like Dune 2 as much as I liked the first one. I'm definitely going to buy 100 Beavers.

Highly recommend the Japanese film "River" from the director of "Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes".

[@shyguy5473]

Furiosa is my favourite. Can't believe I am saying this when I had a blast with Dune Part 2 this year.

Hundreds of beavers is ridiculous! Also has many ties to video game tropes. Highly recommended to experience that silliness taken seriously is unbeatable.

[@dpskipallen]

A lot of my Top 10 & HM's are on your list Dan great job!

Love the Captain Levi shirt !

"I don't cry at a whole lot of movies, more as I get older." You're just slightly older than I am, and this is my experience as well. If you don't like it I wouldn't recommend having a kid lol pretty much every time I see something involving a kid in a movie or a TV show the tears are coming.

Probably best to skip terrifier 3 then .

[@troywinston]

Dune Part 2 and Godzilla Minus One were...exceptionally great. Just watched Godzilla Minus One yesterday...was just blown away (Ok, it was 2023 film...).

Thanks for the heads up on the ones that haven't been released yet.

It’s awesome that Late Night with the Devil was on this list

[@sandhurstwolves3956]

The Delinquents was a great film based in Argentina. I'm sure they will be a re make.

So far my top 10 is (alphabetically) Abigail About Dry Grasses Apolonia, Apolonia The Beast Dune: Part Two The First Omen Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Hit Man The Last Year of Darkness Red Rooms Still need to see so much stuff like EVIL DOES NOT EXIST, KINDS OF KINDNESS and TUESDAY

Dune 2 and The First Omen were ok. That's my whole list. I'm really not enjoying modern cinema. Yuma County came out here recently, but was technically a 2023 movie. That was pretty good.

Love the shirt man! I need to watch more movies but I got too many shows to catch up on

[@LelekPLN]

My list so far: 1. Dune: Part Two 9/10 2. Love Lies Bleeding 8/10 3. The Fall Guy 8/10 4. Challengers 8/10 5. I Saw the TV Glow 8/10 6. Abigail 7/10 7. The Beekeeper 7/10 8. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 7/10 9. Late Night with the Devil 7/10 10. Evil Does Not Exist 7/10 11. Immaculate 7/10 12. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 7/10 13. Bad Boys: Ride or Die 7/10 14. Civil War 7/10 15. Hit Man 7/10 16. A Quiet Place: Day One 7/10 17. Suncoast 7/10 18. Road House 7/10 19. The First Omen 6/10 20. Mean Girls 6/10 21. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare 6/10 22. The Last Kumite 6/10 23. The Strangers: Chapter 1 6/10 24. Arthur the King 6/10 25. Monkey Man 6/10 26. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire 5/10 27. Miller’s Girl 4/10 28. Irish Wish 4/10 29. Argylle 4/10 30. I.S.S. 4/10 31. Scoop 4/10 32. Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One 3/10 33. Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two 3/10 - Top 5 are the strongest films on this list. With the first three I have "no notes', they're just great. Challengers is great as well but some of the character choices didn't click with me, while I Saw the TV Glow has a pretty abrupt ending. Still, it really hooked me in. - Top 15 or even top 20 are movies I all really enjoyed and that while not great have something for everyone. For instance: The Beekeeper is a perfect dad movie, Furiosa is a flawed epic, Late Night with the Devil is a Halloween classic, Evil Does Not Exist is a slow contemplative movie, both A Quiet Place and Planet of the Apes had strong entries in their franchises, Bad Boys 4 is a lot of fun and Immaculate/The First Omen are both solid entries in the abortion rights/possession horror. - I'd say top 25 are all watchable. The rest is pretty bad.

Solid list

[@BusterCorp]

Love to see the Hundreds of Beavers mention

[@mikeharwick790]

Dune 2 is amazing, one of my favorite movies overall not just this year. Furiosa was also excellent. I thought the planet of the apes was solid. Civil War was a decent comeback for Garland after the godawful Men.
