The Strangers: Chapter 1
Tarot

lol, I've seen two 2024 films.

Civil War and Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1

I've only watched seven films in total. My worst movie year ever.

You better have a full ballot ready by next February. Watch Dune bro. Right now. No excuses.

I'm steering clear of the big, flashy, popcorn stuff this year, and I have to say; I'm not missing them. Dune doesn't interest me anyway, but if I don't see Deadpool & Wolverine, I'm okay with that. I probably will see it at some point, but just if.

3. Lisa Frankenstein - 7.5

Gladiator II

You better not lump Gladiator in with Dune. I'm gonna have to fly across the pond and clockwork orange you aren't I?

Hopefully everyone can get to at least 15-20 movies films before award season in February. I know most don't use this thread anymore, but the EAC forum isn't very encouraging either.

How do you mean? I had Dune in the Bad category in 2021. However, I just realised I have another tier lower (I forgot to scroll along on my spreadsheet!) so I've now lowered Gladiator II to Awful. So they're separate and definitely not lumped together

Missed out on some movies that I'll get to when they go to streaming:

1. Inside Out 2 (6.8)
2. Kung Fu Panda 4 (5.9)

So many highs and lows that Spike Lee might have to reimagine this list!

Still have a decent amount to see with Nosferatu, War of the Rohirrim oscar bait and limited release stuff like Y2K and Flow.

With this thread not being used as much this year, I'll try something new by putting the 2025 version in the critics forum. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=90882

....thus messing up the Critics forum and adding nothing to this thread. And why is it so imperative that THIS thread gets engagement? Who fucking cares about this particular thread? Isn't engagement across the board more important? Another replicated list in this thread by the same three members isn't going to change the fortunes of the site.

Let’s just try it out, it’s not any more logical for it to be in film discussion ish forum than there. I am happy so far to see what Jack thought of some of these early January movies, maybe thompsoncory who tends to keep an updated tv list will be more likely to use it in EAC.

You can see that when he writes a review. Surely longer-form posts is what should be encouraged on this forum, not just endless lists which become valueless after the poster's next update. At least with reviews those opinions can be read years down the line and still hold value.
