I surely doubt that some of the movies in my 2024 Top10 would have been in the chart if released in previous years. Maybe two or three of them, not more.\u00a0 In the end, I chose the ten titles above (in alphabetical order) because they have precise storytelling and in a few cases compelling characters. I embraced Kevin Costner\u2019s vision in<strong> Horizon Chapter 1<\/strong> especially because I consider it a magnificent prologue to what\u2019s about to come next. After watching <strong>Wicked<\/strong> with my wife, the day after she made the most clever comment about the movie: \u201cI already don\u2019t remember any of the songs, but I am still so moved by the story and the characters.\u201d Thanks, of course, to the stunning performance by Cynthia Erivo, by far my favorite of the year. I didn\u2019t agree with Cilliam Murphy winning the Academy Award for Oppenheimer last year: if you have seen his silent, subtle, remarkable performance in <strong>Small Things Like These<\/strong>, then you know which is his best way to portray a character. James Mangold understood perfectly that Bob Dylan can\u2019t be \u201cexplained\u201d, and around this idea wrote together with Jay Cocks a marvelous adapted script. All the members of the cast understood the concept and made it their own, and this is why <strong>A Complete Unknown<\/strong> is in my opinion the best American movie of 2024. My last note is about <strong>The Seed of the Sacred Fig<\/strong>, my favorite of the Top10: the powerful symbolism of the last twenty-thirty minutes doesn\u2019t deviate from the roots of the psychological thriller, empowering an already strong story and layered characters. An incredible balance between storytelling and a specific vision that is exactly what cinema should look for. Always.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28095\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KarenBenardello.png\" alt=\"Top 10 Best Films of 2024\" width=\"300\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KarenBenardello.png 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KarenBenardello-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Karen Benardello\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>September 5<\/p>\n<p>The Piano Lesson<\/p>\n<p>The Fire Inside<\/p>\n<p>Blitz<\/p>\n<p>Black Dog<\/p>\n<p>Small Things Like These<\/p>\n<p>Fly Me to the Moon<\/p>\n<p>I Saw the TV Glow<\/p>\n<p>Back to Black<\/p>\n<p>Challengers<\/p>\n<p>The most compelling films of 2024 feature protagonists fearlessly batting obstacles to achieve their goals.\u00a0<b><i>The Piano Lesson<\/i><\/b>\u00a0is a spiritual journey of a family coming back together under divine circumstances.\u00a0<b><i>September 5<\/i><\/b>\u2019s stellar actor performances provide an important perspective on the broadcast of the 1972 Munich Olympic attacks.\u00a0<b><i>The Fire Inside<\/i><\/b>\u00a0chronicles the origin story of Olympic gold medal-winning boxer Claressa \u201cT-Rex\u201d Shields through a captivating performance from actress Ryan Destiny.

The former is based on an eponymous novel by William S Burroughs that depicts American expatriates in Mexico in the 1950s, while the latter focuses its lens on the struggles of a drag queen in present-day Russia. Also notable are two biopics about music legends: Pablo Larra\u00edn\u2019s <b>MARIA<\/b> about opera diva Maria Callas, and James Mangold\u2019s <b>A COMPLETE UNKNOWN<\/b> about a youthful Bob Dylan in the Greenwich Village of the 1960s.

The sci-fi epic <b>DUNE : Part Two<\/b>, directed by Denis Villeneuve from a novel by Frank Herbert, depicts a colossal interplanetary conflict.

This may be a cliche but hands down Wicked was my favorite movie I have seen all year. It was a beautiful homage to the original musical. Next is <strong>Inside Out 2<\/strong>, this movie spoke out to me as once upon a time I was in her shoes growing up and dealing with all of these complex emotions. <strong>Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron<\/strong> is a great documentary of Miyazaki coming back to make <strong>The Boy and the Heron<\/strong>. It was able to take years of content and compile it into one cohesive film.<strong> En Fanfare<\/strong> was the type of feel good movie that people need nowadays with all the hardship that goes on. It\u2019s the type of film that just warms your heart in a sentimental way. That leads me to my next pick, <strong>Marcello Mio<\/strong>, this film is also the type of film that people need nowadays, but more in a funny kooky kind of way! Now we head into the series, I really enjoyed a lot of documentary style series this year. <strong>Quiet on Set<\/strong> and Man with 1000 Kids were my two favorites as they were quite bone chilling. <strong>Quiet on Set<\/strong> really hit home to me as I grew up watching Nickelodeon shows and it\u2019s sad to now really see what these actors went through. <strong>Man with 1000 kids<\/strong> just really shows the type of crazy things that can happen in the fertility industry that most of us don\u2019t understand.<strong> America\u2019s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders<\/strong> took a different approach than the CMT predecessor DCC Making the Team, which I liked in some aspects. It didn\u2019t glamorize the work and stuff these young women go through as much which was an eye opening twist. My last pick is not a documentary but a series that I did really enjoy, <strong>The Spiderwick Chronicles<\/strong>. I enjoyed this as it took a more adult\/mature take on the children\u2019s story so in a sense it grew up with its audience.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28097 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Bendel-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Bendel \" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Bendel-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Bendel-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Bendel-768x1076.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Bendel-696x975.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Bendel.jpg 833w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Joe Bendel<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Seed of the Sacred Fig<\/p>\n<p>Terrestrial Verses<\/p>\n<p>Flow<\/p>\n<p>Youth (Hard Times)<\/p>\n<p>Ghost Cat Anzu<\/p>\n<p>Look Back<\/p>\n<p>Intercepted<\/p>\n<p>The Imaginary<\/p>\n<p>The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim<\/p>\n<p>The Concierge at Hokkyoku Department Store<\/p>\n<p>This year, the two best films were \u201cmade possible\u201d by the current Iranian regime\u2019s oppression\u2014or rather they powerfully condemn the government\u2019s human rights abuses. Mohammad Rasoulof secretly filmed <b>The Seed of the Sacred Film <\/b>in Iran, but edited it as an exile in Germany. It is a damning indictment of the Iranian justice system, but it is also one of the most viscerally intense domestic thrillers I\u2019ve ever seen. Likewise, Ali Asgari &amp; Alireza Khatami\u2019s <b>Terrestrial Verses <\/b>is a deceptively simple, brutally powerful assembly of nine vignettes, focusing on ordinary Iranians enduring a succession of increasingly intrusive cross-examinations from authority figures.<\/p>\n<p>More happily, 2024 was a great year for animation, with the Latvian Oscar contender, <b>Flow<\/b> representing the best of the best. The dialogue-free film is truly transfixing. In addition, <b>Ghost Cat Anzu <\/b>is wonderfully weird and sweetly wistful. <b>Look Back <\/b>might be short, but it packs a devastating emotional punch. <b>The Imaginary<\/b> also delivers some deeply poignant moments, as well as some spectacular fantastical world building. Strangely, a lot of movie patrons missed the boat on <b>The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim<\/b>, but it is a rousing fantasy that understands and respects Tolkien\u2019s work. Plus, <b>The Concierge at Hokkyoku Department Store <\/b>looks cute, which it is, but it is also elegantly elegiac, revealing surprising depth.<\/p>\n<p>Russia and China also were the focus of bold documentary close-ups this year. Oksana Karpovych\u2019s <b>Intercepted <\/b>shockingly exposes the damage done both to the nation of Ukraine and the soul of the Russian people as a result of Putin\u2019s illegal invasion, by presenting actual radio intercepts of Russian soldiers, speaking to each other, in their own words. In contrast, viewers should feel tremendous sympathy for the young textile workers Wang Bing documents in <b>Youth (Hard Times)<\/b>, the second film in his mammoth trilogy, who endure systemic exploitation, while their government looks the other way. All ten films are extraordinarily accomplished and often unusually distinctive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28098\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ed-douglas-photo-1.webp\" alt=\"Top 10 Best Films of 2024\" width=\"261\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ed-douglas-photo-1.webp 261w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ed-douglas-photo-1-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Edward Douglas<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Flow<\/p>\n<p>Super\/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story<\/p>\n<p>Anora<\/p>\n<p>Eno<\/p>\n<p>A Complete Unknown<\/p>\n<p>Dune Chapter 2<\/p>\n<p>Didi<\/p>\n<p>June Zero<\/p>\n<p>The Brutalist<\/p>\n<p>Sing Sing<\/p>\n<p>One caveat that I\u2019d have to add to my list above is that two of my favorite films that I didn\u2019t get to see until this year were Anh Hung Tran\u2019s\u00a0<b><i>The Taste of Things\u00a0<\/i><\/b>and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/interviews\/robot-dreams-pablo-berger-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/interviews\/robot-dreams-pablo-berger-interview\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1735753418301000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2-UmMLrmU2kstaQnOIUQdA\">Pablo Berger<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<b><i>Robot Dreams<\/i><\/b>, the latter which received an Oscar nomination in the Animated Feature category earlier this year.

Oddly, I only had won a big budget studio movie in my\u00a0top\u00a010\u00a0this year, and that was Denis Villeneuve\u2019s\u00a0<b><i>Dune: Chapter Two<\/i><\/b>, which I found to be so much better than the first movie. I was thrilled to be able to spend most of this year doing interviews for\u00a0<i>Cinema Daily US<\/i>, because I got to do a few interviews for some of my favorite movies mentioned above, and here\u2019s hoping that 2025 will be just as exciting for movies as 2024 was.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28099\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Chiara-head.png\" alt=\"Top 10 Best Films of 2024\" width=\"300\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Chiara-head.png 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Chiara-head-294x300.png 294w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Maria<\/p>\n<p>Juror #2<\/p>\n<p>Here<\/p>\n<p>Kinds of Kindness<\/p>\n<p>Anora<\/p>\n<p>Wicked<\/p>\n<p>Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/p>\n<p>Flow<\/p>\n<p>Inside Out 2<\/p>\n<p>Vermiglio<\/p>\n<p>Angelina Jolie sends shivers down viewers\u2019 spines while bringing back to life the operatic diva, whilst singing with her very own voice in <b><i>Maria<\/i><\/b>. Clint Eastwood\u2019s <b><i>Juror #2 <\/i><\/b>takes the classic <i>12 Angry Men <\/i>on a broader ethical level, something that is explored from a different angle. Robert Zemeckis\u2019 <b><i>Here <\/i><\/b>portrays with lyricism the places we inhabit, from the dawn of time until today.

The two musicals that conquered the scene this year are the brilliant adaptation of the Broadway show <b><i>Wicked<\/i><\/b>, directed by Jon M. Chu, and Jacques Audiard\u2019s crime comedy <b><i>Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/i><\/b>, that embraces topics of diversity.<\/p>\n<p>The two gems of animation this year are <b><i>Flow<\/i><\/b> and <b><i>Inside Out 2<\/i><\/b>. The former \u2014 that marks the feature debut of animator Gints Zilbalodis \u2014 proves how the power of storytelling can go beyond dialogue, of which it is void. The latter unleashes the nuanced world of emotions, expanding the realm of our moods. The Italian entry for the Academy Awards, <b><i>Vermiglio<\/i><\/b>, is striking for the quiet torment that is conveyed by the characters of the story, with utter delicacy.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28100\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Matthew-1.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Best films of 2024\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Matthew-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Matthew-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Matthew Schuchman\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Rumours<\/p>\n<p>Love Lies Bleeding<\/p>\n<p>The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write about a Serial Killer<\/p>\n<p>Omar &amp; Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird<\/p>\n<p>Memoir of a Snail<\/p>\n<p>Civil War<\/p>\n<p>Nickel Boys<\/p>\n<p>Kneecap<\/p>\n<p>Anora<\/p>\n<p>Flow<\/p>\n<p>While I didn\u2019t dislike many of the big awards players making the rounds this year, it was hard to be moved by them beyond a single selling point. One film may have amazing cinematography, but the story wasn\u2019t moving; for example. But, here are some thoughts on my favorite films this year. While no one seems to respond to <strong>Rumours<\/strong> as I have, it still was one of the\u00a0best\u00a0experiences I had watching a film this year. It was wildly hilarious while not losing its aim at today\u2019s socio-political climate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love Lies Bleeding<\/strong> hit a note early in the year and it is still sustaining to this day. Why Katy O\u2019Brian is not a major contender in every\u00a0best\u00a0actress race is mind boggling.\u00a0<strong>The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write about a Serial Killer<\/strong> had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, it will be on my list again when it officially comes out. Next to Rumours, I have not laughed that much in years!\u00a0 As a fan of the musical works of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixlar-Zavala I had a lot invested in Omar &amp; Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird, but even those who are unfamiliar with their work will have a lot of glean from this very personal documentary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15594 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nobuhiro-Hosoki2-3-300x244.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Films of 2024\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nobuhiro-Hosoki2-3-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nobuhiro-Hosoki2-3-768x625.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nobuhiro-Hosoki2-3-696x566.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nobuhiro-Hosoki2-3-516x420.jpg 516w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nobuhiro-Hosoki2-3.jpg 954w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Nobuhiro Hosoki\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>A Real Pain<\/p>\n<p>Emilia Perez<\/p>\n<p>The Seed of Sacred Fig<\/p>\n<p>A Complete Unknown<\/p>\n<p>The Flow<\/p>\n<p>Songs of Earth<\/p>\n<p>Look Back<\/p>\n<p>Nickel Boys<\/p>\n<p>La Cochina<\/p>\n<p>Maria<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Real Pain<\/strong> was one of the surprised treat from the Sundance this year, we know Jesse Eisenberg was talented as an actor, but his audacious debut film cemented his career as a man behind the camera, the chemistry between mismatched cousins played by Jesse and Kieran Culkin were remarkable, and very heartwarming film. <strong>Emilia Perez<\/strong> is the July Prize winner\u00a0<span id=\"GingerWidget-correction-0\" class=\"correction alternate\">of<\/span>\u00a0the Cannes Film Festival, a suspense thriller that wrapped in the musical that never a dull\u00a0<span id=\"GingerWidget-correction-1\" class=\"correction alternate\">moment<\/span>, it seamlessly intertwines with the musical sequence, three\u00a0<span id=\"GingerWidget-correction-2\" class=\"correction alternate\"><\/span><span id=\"GingerWidget-correction-3\" class=\"correction alternate\">the actresses<\/span>, Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, and\u00a0\u00a0Karla Sof\u00eda Gasc\u00f3n shined in a dazzling visual and unusual premise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Seed of Sacred Fig<\/strong> was entirely shot in secret, due to director Mohammad Rasoulof\u2019s status, and tackled the subject matter that had to flee Iran to live in Germany. An engaging stoy of the Iranian family became increasingly paranoid after losing the gun, which was a great depiction of the current state of Iran. <strong>A Complete Unknown<\/strong> is a pure music bio of\u00a0<span id=\"GingerWidget-correction-0\" class=\"correction alternate\">unmistakable<\/span>\u00a0talent, Bob Dylan. The part of\u00a0<span id=\"GingerWidget-correction-1\" class=\"correction alternate\">the success<\/span> of the film lies in focusing on his formative years rather than capturing his distinguished time of the last 50 years, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet dived right into the heart and soul of the music legend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Flow<\/strong> is a remarkable animation about a solitary cat who had to leave his flat after the great flood, teamed up with other animals on a refugee boat. The entire film has no dialogue other than the voice of animals and sounds of mother nature, which was also beautiful throughout the film. <strong>Songs of Earth<\/strong> was the most immersive experience that I had in recent years. Director Magreth Olin follows her roots with her father through the eyes of Norway\u2019s adventurous valley, Oldedalen in Nordfjord. It made me realize once again that human beings are kept alive with nature.<\/p>\n<p>A comic artist drew <strong>Look Back<\/strong>, which revolves around the story of a young female comic artist who is overly confident and meets a shut-in Kyomoto, both of whom enjoy drawing manga. The animator&#8217;s original drawings are directly converted into images in this movie to achieve a close approximation of the comic. By keeping the original drawings as they are, the writer&#8217;s emotions are directly captured on screen. The movie <strong>Nickel Boys<\/strong> is based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Colson Whitehead, and director RaMell Ross uses exceptional POV and long-shots to depict racial turmoil and portray the resilience of black people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Cocina<\/strong> is directed by Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios, who updates Arnold Wesker&#8217;s 1957 play The Kitchen to a contemporary New York restaurant in black and white. The film&#8217;s focus is on the dreams and desperation of undocumented immigrants, who meet with the staff as they chase the elusive American dream in a chaotic kitchen. <strong>Maria<\/strong>, during her final days in Paris, Maria Callas, the world&#8217;s greatest opera singer, is the subject of this drama set in the 1970s. Angelina Jolie&#8217;s fleeting voice and emotional outbursts captured the audience&#8217;s attention. Pablo Larran captured a portrait of a depressed and internally suffering woman with an extraordinary last note.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you liked our selections of Top 10 films of 2024, share your thoughts below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you so much for reading our contents, supporting our site.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In hindsight, 2024 marked a milestone in Hollywood.
