This was great, I often want to watch more movies but I don’t know where to start or look, so I love hearing the opinions of others especially the people I admire creatively. It’s a cool look into your taste and mind, and I’m excited to see what I like from your picks. Also just hearing the name of your number one pick made me flash back thru the whole experience of watching it myself and I started bawling. God. What a good movie.
I have seen only 5 out of this list: Ultraman Rising, SpyxFamily Code White, Wicked Part 1, Inside Out 2, and Deadpool and Wolverine. To watch 75 movies in a year, you are a dedicated cinephile, even if some of the movies weren't great this year. Cheers to the new year and to creativity despite what goes on in the world.
Thanks as always for all the interesting recommendations and retrospectives! I always enjoy hearing what you have to say about all the things you saw this year. And to think that these were ALL 2024 films! So much stuff to watch and so little time! I definitely agree with you in terms of the best movie of the year. I won't go into the specifics of what led up to this, but I finally burnt out this year. I lost the will to create. And it's been an uphill battle trying to gain that back. I don't know if or when it'll ever happen, but Look Back helped me remember what I always want to strive for and what I always want my main motivational drive to come from. It was absolutely breathtaking and I'll always be grateful to it for that. Here's to all the new and exciting stories that'll be created and shared in 2025!
Haven't heard of Look Back, but as soon as Jay mentioned it's about aspiring manga writers it makes complete sense why it's number 1. As an artist myself it sounds like something I might want to check out
A lot of my top films were low on your list but it's fair because I think it is just a matter of preference (Lisa Frankenstein, I Saw The TV Glow, Cuckoo, etc) but I still need to watch Look Back! I'm excited to cry... I also want to check out Kinds of Kindness and Thelma.
Finally finished this! I definitely want to check out some movies after watching this. I think I only watched like 10ish movies this year, but my favorite was probably Mars Express (although I think it released in France in 2023 and it only had its US debut in 2024, so idk how that counts).
I've watched like 10 movies this year and I thought that was a lot -and most of them were old. I watched When Marnie Was There this year, loved it. Probably top 5 Ghibli for me.
this is my favorite movie of 2024

I love hearing about all these movies I missed and hope to see you continue the series next year!

The longer this went without mentioning Joker 2 the more nervous I got, haha!
But I'm loving all these recommendations, thank you!
Hell of a list. I somehow missed that the Haikyuu movie came out this year... gotta go watch that.
I appreciate that thinking the movies weren't the best made you watch more lol
Thank you for making this! (I also love the Kingdom Hearts music!)

Finally had the time to watch this video! What a treat :D
I can't even imagine watching 75 movies in a single year, but I do like hearing people's opinions.
