Who needs to go on a rollercoaster when all you had to do was survive 2024?
There have been movies that have blown me away, Denis Villeneuve deserves a special mention, and there’s been some painful flops that left me scratching my head; Megalopolis and Joker: Folie À Deux pushing the boundaries, in my opinion, without success.
Then there’s the body horror of, Substance, and the not quite making it to my list, Longlegs, Heretic, Better Man and Monkey Man that are worth a watch. And then there’s Wicked Part I that I enjoyed in spite of myself.
But when it comes to recommendations, I’ve compiled a Top 5 List that had me smiling, crying, shaking with hands in front of face to mouth agape at the spectacle that is the best cinema of 2024.
