Throughout the year, I took a look at quite a few new releases that were shown at the Dietrich Theater. Some of these new releases also consist of a few films that were shown during the seasonal film festivals. And, some of the new releases that I checked out were really good.
In fact, my top films of the year list is slightly bigger than usual! So, let’s get things started and here’s my top picks of 2024!
20. Remembering Gene Wilder
19. Civil War
18. Arthur the King
17. Anyone But You
16. The Holdovers
15. Inside Out 2
14. Ordinary Angels
13. Transformers One
12. The Wild Robot
11. It Ends With Us
10. Alien: Romulus
9. Twisters
8. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
7. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
6. Sonic the Hedgehog 3
5. Smile 2
4. The First Omen
3. Deadpool & Wolverine
2. The Wild Robot
And my number one pick of the year is … (definitely not Madame Web!) … Wicked!
As usual, there are some honorable mentions that were kind of close to making it to the top list! Migration; Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire; The Beekeeper; Moana 2; Kung Fu Panda 4; Abigail; IF; A Quiet Place: Day One; Gladiator II; The Bikeriders; Speak No Evil; Beetlejuice Beetlejuice; Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1; Reagan; Bad Boys: Ride or Die; My Penguin Friend; Saturday Night
For the first time, I will reveal a few selections that didn’t come close to making it to either the top list or the honorable mentions: Joker: Folie A Deux; Argylle; Lisa Frankenstein; The Watchers; Trap; The Crow
I plan on working on quite a few fun reviews through 2025! Besides the new releases and the film festival selections I generally work on, I will also be planning on some throwback reviews!
