2025 was a great year for film. I saw 62 films released this year; the ones I enjoyed the most were:

  1. 28 Years Later
  2. Eddington
  3. One Battle After Another
  4. Sinners
  5. Bugonia
  6. Mickey 17
  7. Conclave
  8. Grand Theft Hamlet
  9. Splitsville
  10. Sunlight

My full ranked list is here. I’d happily rewatch the top 30.

I’m still looking forward to watching Palani’s It Was Just an Accident. I’ve avoided watching The Shrouds because I find it hard to imagine I won’t have any more Cronenberg films to watch after this, and I don’t want to dislike it. I’ve also deliberately dodged and Kogonada’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey because I love his earlier movies and the prospect of this one being a mess has scared me off.
