Best Movies of 2024 (Post Strike Cinema 24')

OK real talk (again), 2024 is when we have now come out (finally) of COVID and the writers/actors strikes. Now that was a back-to-back double whammy. Notably, finally the superhero bubble has completely burst. HARD. I mean the Joker sequel, wow!

So where are the original ideas, what is Hollywood churning out in 2024?

What have been my films of 2024? Read on dear readers. Warning its been a HUGE year (again) for horror! Also I saw one of the best films twice this year. Civil War was simply outstanding. In the year of a monster US election, this film had everything.

So what were my favourite films of 2024? Take a look at the list below.

BEST hyped film of 2024 - Anyone But You (released late, late 2023)

BEST jump out of the seat film - Longlegs / Heretic

BEST Teen drama/coming of age/comedy blah - Wicked (Part I) - at a pinch. Sorry slim pickings for this category this year.

BEST film of 2024 - Civil War

BEST small (budget) film - Monkey Man (10 million dollar budget)

BEST Aussie Movie - Force of Nature: The Dry 2

BEST Music(al) film - Wicked (Part I)

BEST controversial film of 2024 - Blink Twice / The Substance (tie)

BEST Drama - It Ends With Us

Ok so all the It Ends With Us (real life) drama was unfolding as I was doing this post. So apologies if this was triggering, however a film that was both dramatic on and off screen, well.
