My Top 25 Films of 2025

We all know War of the Worlds was peak fiction 0:27

I wish I liked Mastermind. It was aesthetically cool, and I am a fan of O'Connor but man that movie felt like such a slog. Almost in love with itself, in love with its lethargy.

One battle after another is absolute trash most overhyped garbage I have ever watched. Idk how anyone could give it any praise.

Maybe you should explain why you liked them?

Here is my list:
1. Marty Supreme
2. Frankenstein
3. One Battle After Another
4. Sentimental Value
5. Our Girls
6. Hamnet
7. Mickey 17
8. Sinners
9. Elio
10. Wake Up Dead Man

Glad to see Kiyoshi Kurosawa's movie in top 3.
Hes one of my favorite modern director and his movies are often overlooked

Definitely need to watch the chainsaw man movie gang

Rewatch Bugonia please

Sinners is my #1 for 2025 🩸

Ugh bummed If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You was so close to top 10. Really interested to hear your in-depth thoughts on it.

Hard disagree on 1 super racist.

I thought almost all of the critics' favorites were overrated. One Battle, Sinners, Marty Supreme, No Other Choice, all not very good when you think about them, or at least when I do. That's a longer discussion. My best of the year: THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB, SOULEYMANE'S STORY, THE PRESIDENT'S CAKE (I swear these are real movies), HAMNET, BLUE MOON, BELEN and THE PLAGUE. Most of them are foreign. America isn't making many good movies.

Agree with everything except number one, One battle after another is just an opportunistic cash grab with a political agenda.

Cloud was an absolute sleeper. I wish it went in theaters.

I've watched The Mastermind, in full, and no good can come of what you've done by recommending this movie to the general public. May you find solace in your crimes against humanity.

After seeing No Other Choice I just have no idea how anyone could say Marty Supreme is a better movie.

Wasn’t expecting the live action Snow White at the #1 spot, but okay.

What abt F1 and Frankenstein???

cannot believe you'd put a movie like the secret agent on any "good film list".

my top 5
Marty Supreme
Sinners
Frankenstein
OBAA
F1

no Bugonia is crazy work brother

❤TFM ACTER

The long walk

The mastermind is actually horrible i was one of the ones that saw it for mystery movie monday and the whole theater hated it and everyone looked at eqch other after it ended with a sigh of relief that the torture was over

Avatar :Ash and Fire at no.3!!! Didn't expect that fs

Bugonia robbed !!! Where is the taste???

I'm so damn surprised that haunted house of pancakes didn't make your top 10, travesty.

Not the Zionist movie being number 1 😭🫠 though I need to be prepared to watch it be the Best Picture win 🥲

2026 kurosawa come back🎉
KOKUROJO🔥❤

I really disliked one battle after another. Very shallow and predictable. Bugonia much better delivered those topics.

#1 pick is wild Ngl

So far, Train Dreams, No Other Choice, One Battle After Another and Bugonia were my favorites. I think some others that deserve more recognition were Presence, Mickey 17 and Twinless, The Secret Agent and Sentimental Value are at the top of my list to watch in the next week, but this has been an interesting year for film. There are quite a few on this list I will eventually watch, but only so much time in a day.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I disliked Marty Supreme, and no not because he's an anti-hero.

I cannot for the life of me understand the hype over Sirat. Surely I’m missing something about its message/plot? Otherwise I just don’t know why people love it so much

#4
Honestly, I think the best way to describe this film is describing it how I want to go see this film as well as another similar film that came out around that same time, Roofman. A film also about a Robert, who spends most of his time, literally evading police and robbing fast food restaurants, and spends most of his time escaping prison, his biggest escape being when he lays low at a Toys “R” Us. The film literally acknowledges that the character is really, not as smart as he thinks he is, because of the fact that despite the fact that he thought that he can get away with so much as he does, he clearly never thought a lot of things through, which leads to several setbacks and consequences occurring. But roof man had a much more tighter pace and managed to be much more engaging.
So for me, I feel like the best way to describe both of these films is sort of a “take-your-pic” scenario. Some people enjoy a film with a much more slower pace, and others prefer a film with a much more tighter and engaging pace.

"that one scene" on Sinners, when I watched it at the movie theater with my boyfriend I told him it was one of the most magical experiences I had had in a movie theater, and I think I'll still believe in 10 years because wow, you could never get that watching the movie from the comfort of your couch.

No Superman?

pillion literally comes out next year how did u film hos see it

Secret Agent is incredible!

i assume i am real 2.

NO BUGONIA????? WTF

If the 5 non English films on this list all get nominated for the Oscar, it will be the best lineup in history

That Anderson movie was wanky and boring. His films start to annoy me.

As someone that dated a Brazillian, how you pronounced Recife really irritated me haha
