The 10 Best Movies of 2024 (So Far)

[@popsandpuns]

Glad to see Tuesday on there. I feel it came and went without many people even knowing about the movie, much less than even saw it.

[@axemexa1]

I expected to like it but didn’t at all. It’s my least favorite of the year. Very boring, should have been a short film IMO

[@K0m30ng]

So cool to know that the historic masterpiece, "Rebel Moon Part 2" is on Dan's favourite movie of 2024 with "Despicable Me 4" being his most anticipated movie for the rest of the year. Keep up the good work Dan 😁

[@scatmanskabadop]

Very bold of Dan to list "Unfrosted" as his early pick for film of the year

[@desertsuede4]

I love "Thelma", glad to see it get a shoutout even if it didn't make the list. So funny and lovely. Go see it before it disappears from theaters.

[@reeldeal3227]

My list (several still need to be seen) 1. Love Lies Bleeding 2. Kinds of Kindness 3. The Way We Speak (Florida Film Festival) 4. The Fall Guy 5. The Hit Man 6. The Bikeriders 7. In a Violent Nature 8. Monkey Man 9. Civil War 10. Drive-Away Dolls

[@travisspazz1624]

Just got the Love Lies Bleeding 4k set 🤘

[@hayward022]

Not bad.

[@rishacha]

Monkey Man was shit

[@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.

[@Sounder1995]

My top ten for this year so far: 1. Dune: Part Two 2. American Fiction 3. Civil War (2024) 4. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 5. Bad Boys: Ride or Die 6. Monkey Man 7. Abigail 8. The Fall Guy (2024) 9. Mean Girls (2024) 10. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Please don't hate for Mean Girls. It's fun, and I'm a sucker for memorable / catchy music in films.

[@fitotorres]

American Fiction is from last year

[@patgannon3528]

Kudos for including hundreds of beavers. Saw it a few months ago at my local repertory theatre. It was great. Definitely worty checking out.

[@sandhurstwolves3956]

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

[@JS-og8oj]

Jesse Plemons deserves a supporting nod for Civil War. In the little time he has he creates a character who you instantly understand and are utterly terrified by.

[@SmallMindEd69]

My favorite movie this year is Furiosa (ironically) with Planet of the Apes is a close second and lastly Dune 2.

[@SmallMindEd69]

George Miller is the best movie maker right now, a close second is James Cameron.

[@GlauconWrongs]

1. Kinds of Kindness 2. The Contestant 3. Ren Fair 4. Dune: Part 2 5. Challengers

[@Betared2003]

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. Its a throwback to the period piece Oscarbait films of the 70-90;s.)

[@SpookyCabins]

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

[@marielozoria]

Idk if any movie is gonna top dune part 2 for me. I saw it in IMAX 5 times 😭😭

[@Skrba24]

[@travisspazz1624]

Off the top of my head 1. DuneP2 2. Challengers 3. Love Lies Bleeding 4. The First Omen 5. Sometimes I think about Dying 6. Civil War 7. Thelma 8. Grounded 2 9. Furiosa 10. Hit Man

[@charvolth]

My Top 10 (so far) 10: In the Land of Saints and Sinners 9: Boy Kills World 8: Love Lies Bleeding 7: Perfect Days 6: The Bikeriders 5: Lisa Frankenstein 4: The Taste of Things 3: Civil War 2: Fallen Leaves (normally not one for romantic comedies but this one just hit me) 1: Mars Express (great sci-fi with a cool noir element. Reminded me of a serialized story you would see in Heavy Metal magazine)

[@mywalkabout]

Hundreds of beavers comes to my local theater next month, and I’ll see it then, but may just cough up $2.50 for an after work on Friday movie party!

[@tonyg76]

Argylle, Atlas, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Madame Web, One Life, Ordinary Angels, Young Woman & the Sea

[@ingridplaza2867]

Challengers, Late Night with the Devil, Inside Out 2, Love Lies Bleeding,and Civil War are also in my top ten. I would put I saw the the TV glow and The First Omen in my top ten as well. Excited to check out Ghost Light and Tuesday. I’ve never heard of Hundreds of Beavers, so I will definitely check that out too. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@ArchdukeMovies]

Kinda wild that there's 2 movies on your list that use anthropomorphic computer animated creatures to personify the human experience in the next stage of a teenage girl's life....and they came out on the same weekend. Tuesday is my favorite movie of the year by far!

[@biinygieta2664]

Fact that Tom Hardy isn’t playing that role in Furiosa again makes me not wanna watch it

[@ernapalomar8267]

Here are my Favorite Movies of this year 2024 So Far: 10. Challengers. I love Zendaya and this movie was goated I love her performance 9. Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Will Smith literally revived his career with this film and has all the action needed for an action movie 8. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth literally CARRIED this film and this was my Top Tier Experience 7. Civil War. This film has a lot of groundwork like Apocalypse Now and Platoon and this is the best War Movie I ever watched 6. The Bikeriders. There are 2 things I knew about this film: Austin Butler’s Performance and a TON of Action 5. The Fall Guy. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are 2 things about this film and I LOVE The Stunts and Action in this movie 4. Inside Out 2. Pixar literally learned from their mistakes from Lightyear and Elemental and this film was a Masterpiece 🥉. Kingdom of The Planet of The Apes. This film’s Quality is similar to Avatar than The Cinematic Travesty that was Gigli and The Apes are so gorgeous. 🥈. Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. King Kong and Godzilla literally bring all the elements of Cinematic Entertainment and I loved it. 🥇. Dune Part 2. This film was so GREAT it has gotten me hating Madame Web EVEN more

[@flubalubaful]

First time viewer of your channel, nice selection but nothing jumps out at me. Just one serious bit of advice, have the name of the movie on screen while talking about it, so frustrating seeing a clip and having to go back to search in the video for the name again. Others do it so much better.

[@raulhou1739]

wait, ¨the dobbed version is always shitty¨ is not a common knowledge???? who in their right mind would ever recommend anything but the original voice of any movie????

[@DanMurrellMovies]

There are some anime movies, particularly Studio Ghibli movies, that have solid English dubs that I think are equivalent. Dubbing has improved a lot in recent years, in my opinion, although the Japanese language version is always worth watching.

[@raulhou1739]

@@DanMurrellMovies maybe I should also elaborate on it a bit since you mentioned studio ghibli movies. Dubbed versions also introduce more problems not only to the differential emotions and tones that a particular language that the movies is made in (you could say this is up for debates as well), but sometimes they even introduced changes to the movies that are harmful, for example as far as I know, at least some American dubbed version of spirited away had some extra lines at the end of the movie that did not exist in the original version.

[@drewroberts139]

Was Godzilla Minus One from last year?

[@DanMurrellMovies]

Yes, it was a 2023 movie and my top 10 for last year.

100 Beavers is the movie of the Year for me.

[@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

[@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'.

[@knaditya8228]

Damn we are already halfway through the year wtf.. how did the time go by..

[@desertsuede4]

That was my first thought too lol Also that there haven't been any truly great movies yet. Civil War, Challengers, Love Lies Bleeding, Thelma and The First Omen are my top five and frankly not much else that stayed in my mind.

[@knaditya8228]

Same I am more of a foreign movie enjoyer so my top five would be, Kalki 2898, Dune 2, Boy Kills World, The Roundup: Punishment, Godzilla x Kong. This list has been changing constantly for past few months

[@desertsuede4]

[@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]

[@vincenthalfprice9930]

I loved Civil War as much as most people hated Beau is Afraid, which was A24's last biggest movie (and I believe their biggest flop, which I found disappointing but unsurprising). In any other year, Civil War would sit comfortably at the very top of my list with little chance of anything topping it.
