Made in England (2024) Scorsese's homage to Powell & Pressburger. Beautiful tribute from one filmmaker to his heroes.

My favorites so far are I Saw the Tv Glow, Challengers, Dune Part 2, and Kinds of Kindness

Furiosa was great, it felt like a director made it, an actual director. I can't think of anything else to mention, that I've seen, so that's very telling about this years offerings.

Yes, Furiosa, yes. Gloriously berserk genre-popcorn wrought with classical cinematic elegance. Easily the best movie of (the first half of) 2024.

I loved Furiosa too, saw it twice.

Maggie, i get so many recomendations from these comment on your Best Of videos. Thanks for creating that community some of us crave for ❤

Loving your channel so much, I'm so glad I found it. Thanks for sharing all of this.

My favorite of the year so far has to be Challengers. It was such a refreshing twist on the love triangle romantic drama.

I'm literally midway thru the beast and clicked on your notification 😅.

I must admit I've fallen in love with you and this channel over the past couple of months!! love your thoughts on things

The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something has Passed, dir. Joanna Arnow ❤

I recommend you watch "Ghostlight" and "La Chimera" if you haven't.

The Beast was one of my most anticipated and absolutely came through for me it blew my mind, cannot wait for a rewatch. Felt like I was watching something transcendent in real time. Kinds Of Kindness really worked for me, for some reason I love the desperation and misery - I think it hits on this extreme almost punk rock feeling that we all have deep down but can never really express. Not to the level of interpersonal toxicity in the film lol but just some primal untapped extremity within us. I loved La Chimera (would love your thoughts on that), Challengers, Dune 2, The First Omen, Kingdom Of The Apes. I can't find a way to watch Evil Does Not Exist anywhere but can't wait for that to be available

I feel bad for people that skipped seeing Furiosa in the theater.

Great vid as always. One of the people I go to when I need inspiration

Thank you so much for this list, Maggie. My favorite movies so far are All of Us Strangers (is this one from this year?), Challengers, Furiosa, Daddio and Hit Man.

“Stripped down” is not something I thought I’d ever hear used to describe Fury Road 😂

Snack Shack is an under the radar little gem. Give it a shot

Great list! I only have a top 3 movies so far this year. 1. Dune Part Two, 2. Hundreds of Beavers, 3. Furiosa. I am hoping to add Megalopolis as a 4th but I will need to see the others on your list that I haven't seen.

I made a conscious effort not to watch the full trailers for Kinds of Kindness. I'm very happy that I did. I consumed the perfect combination of substances and it was phenomenal. Sidenote: the film was filmed in New Orleans, and that's where I live. So, that particular film was taking place in neighborhoods where I live and work. Talk about a unique experience; that was like a director I loved, making a film for me in particular. Thoroughly enjoyed.

The only films from 2024 that really jump out at me thus far (and that I'm at liberty to discuss) are Bertrand Bonello's "The Beast" and George Miller's "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

Furiosa Dune 2 Kinds of Kindness Challengers Civil War Maxxxine( with slight reserve, need to see again.) Love Lies Bleeding( not all of it works but it went for it.)

I have really enjoyed: Dune 2, Furiosa, Perfect Days, Late Night With The Devil, and The Fall Guy

I watched the beast three times in cinema, I can’t stop thinking about it. I feel so connected to Gabrielle’s character I’m so glad this movie exists I can see myself rewatching it for comfort in the future which is wild considering what the film is but I can’t explain it, something about it just clicks for me fully and I just want to bathe in it all.

Because I trust your observations as being based on sensible reasoning (which you express clearly and competently -- thank you!), I will check out the movies you have enjoyed so much.

Ghostlight lures you into a deep human level

I would also add inside out 2 to the list liked that one a;it more than I thought I did my daughters loved that one

I want to shout out There’s Still Tomorrow by Paola Cortellesi. Came out 2023 in Italy but 2024 for the rest of the world and I absolutely loved it

Hundreds of Beavers might be my movie of the year. I have seen it three times and I continue to be amazed by the ingenuity of the filmmaking and the comedy.

Favourite films this year so far: Monster (Kore-Eda), Late Night With The Devil, Dying, Godzilla Minus One, Poor Things

Your take on films resonates with me almost 100% of the time. It's only because of your recommendation that I will see The Bikriders. The trailer doesn't do Austin Butler any favors. But, I'm a huge fan of Jesse Eisenberg, and his films feel almost constantly misrepresented in their advertising. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your channel.

My favorites so far have been Dune: Part 2, Lisa Frankenstein, I Saw the TV Glow, Furiosa, and Inside Out 2.

If you haven’t seen The Devil’s Bath yet, I definitely recommend it! It’s on Shudder. Had no expectations going into it but was kind of blown away

pleasantly surprised to see Kinds of Kindness here, my fav of the year so far.

Such a pity Furiosa bombed. We are probably not gonna see Mad Max : Wasteland

I'm waiting to see your review of Longlegs

Havent seen many films at all this year, but id say Dune Part 2 is probbaly the best cinema experience I had at least, purely based on spectacle. I saw Kinds of Kindness yesterday and I wasn't sure how I felt about it but I can already feel it growing on me the more I think about it.

I like how Maggie has films she didn't quite like as her favorite😂

Didn't expect much going into Furiosa and thought it was awesome. I had no idea prior that George Miller was such a great director.

Furiosa, Kinds of Kindness, Love lies bleeding, and Civil War

Challengers, Dune part 2, Furiosa were all great. Hope to check out kinds of kindness soon

I'm usually quite unimpressed by big studio franchise movies but I came into 2024 excited by a lot of the ones slated. Furiosa, Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, Dune Part 2, Inside Out 2 have all proved to be fantastic. Can't wait for Alien Romulus either. The more obscure surprise of the year for me was The Coffee Table which had so much going for it & was one of the most anxiety-inducing movies I've seen in years, but yeah, whereas my favourite films of the year are usually indie dominated, so far the studio franchise movies have delivered the most in 2024.

You should do an exercise video, your core is insane!! you look fantastic.

Not sure if you saw Robit Dreams, I didn't catch your review if you have. But that is a move worth watching.

I haven’t seen an actual 2024 film, so far. The Promised Land? The Beast? Those are 2023 films. The Bikeriders? That took so long to be released, feels like a 2022 movie. God, I miss the 90’s. So many wonderful indie dramas. These past two years have been like an unending drought for me.

Saw theres always tomorrow , the seed of the sacred fig and the substance at Sydney film festival would love your Takes on those

How were you able to watch the beast months ago; did you go to some festival? Appreciate the reviews.

It’s a little odd thing but my favorite aspect of Furiosa was how integral the History Man was. He opens and closes the story and it’s kinda meta that a character like that exists

I’d recommend 2 Bollywood films if you want the feel of a summer blockbuster: Kill and Chandu Champion. Also, side note: I hope you review Long Legs when it comes out. Keep up the good work😊

All of Us Strangers and the last one of Miyazaki are also very good and sensible (in it's best meaning) movies

All About the Dawn by Sho Miyake is my favorite so far. The best uplifting film I’ve seen in some time. Miyake has become one of Japan’s top young directors along with the likes of Hamaguchi and Yuya Ishii

From this year, I've only caught "Dune II" and "Furiosa". Both great, but I think I'm done with sci-fi epics in desert landscapes for a while. I expect my cinema year will also be backloaded, with films that only release theatricall or get physical releases in the 2nd half. I'm particularly looking forward to joining the conversation on "The Beast" and "Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person", and theatrical releases for "The Substance" and "Nosferatu".

My favs so far (in order of preference): Mars Express (French animated neo-noir thriller) - Red rooms (aka. les chambres rouges) - Riddle of fire - Civil war - Dune 2

Loved Furiosa too. It's currenty my second favorite movie of the year after Dune 2 (but definitly more entertaining than Dune 2)

A Valhalla Rising mention; Nice!

Robot Dreams is fantastic.

My Faves so far: 1. Abigail 2. Late Night With The Devil 3. Inside Out 2 4. Thelma

The Fall Guy blew me away in the sense that I've always said "You wouldn't want to watch an entre movie of explosions" and it was basically a movie about explosions and I loved it. It's also got people talking about making a stunt category at the Oscar's so lets hope that finally becomes a thing!

I really haven’t disliked anything I’ve seen this year in the theater and I’m still looking forward to a lot of movies that are coming out. I feel like this year as a whole could be the best we’ve had for movies in a while. I guess time will tell.

My favourite film of the year is Poor Things (which was released here in the UK in January 2024). Second favourite is The Taste of Things, followed by Civil War, Dune 2, and Challengers.

Hit Man for me. Just a fun film with actors that oozed charisma. A weird feel good film. I’m really curious of your opinion when/if you see Horizon- I was surprised by the pace and how European it was with the way it tells its story.

My favorite movie of the year so far, it's Abigail

Civil war, omen, furiosa, dune 2 are my favorites from the ones I have seen on the big screen this year. I would go so far as saying the recent Omen film is the best in the franchise, even after rewatching all of them.

I've seen Furiosa three times!

you should check out Hundreds of Beavers

It’s a shame more people didn’t go see Furiousa. I loved seeing it in imax and thought it was the perfect companion movie to Fury Road. Reminds me of when Blade Runner 2049 came out and bombed box office wise, but was amazing to see on a big screen.

Furiosa Dune 2 Iron Claw

marlon brando is the great actor of all time. develop such conviction in yourself, deep lens... maggie... gertrudes... whatever your name is...

We have to wait for Longlegs

1. Dune: Part 2 2. Hit Man 3. Inside Out 2 4. Society Of The Snow 5. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

I would be very interested if you watched and if so how you liked "Promised Land".

I’m still waiting for Late With the Devil to be shown at my country’s theaters because distributors decided to ignore us. If this movie is half as good as people claim and by reading the premise and watching the trailers, it will easily be one my top 5 this year. Cross my fingers:

Can you do a review of Abigail?

Cant believe Civil War isnt making any lists. I was impressed.

I wrote a review called "Nature's Perspective: The Philosophical Depths of 'Evil Does Not Exist.'" It will come up if you search for it and I think it will help you better appreciate the third act of the film.

You see Horizon An American Saga, Def not perfect but still has some interesting scenes and 4 separate 3 hr movies is a very ambitious idea

Love, Lies, Bleeding is the best movie this year

Please review Ship of Theseus. It is a very philosophical movie about the meaning of life. It is available free on KZfaq.

you should check : do not expect much from end of the world. its 2023, but in cinemas right now. its best movie past 5 years

You should check out AAVESHAM and KILL One of the best films this year

Dune: Part 2! You're missing Dune: Part 2!!

Drive-away Dolls, Hit Man, Dune II, Last Stop in Yuma County

❤

I saw Dune Pt 2. Someone pls remind me what happened because I remember The Fall Guy in vivid detail, Dune Pt 2…zip. zero. I guess I liked it?

Review "Kill"

Dune 2 The first omen Furiosa Kingdom of the planet of the apes Bad boys ride or die

Listen to "Squid - Pamphlets" best music ever.

Could you pin a comment up top here and list the films? Other channels do this and allows us to access them better and come back to the video for them as well. Thank you.

This one came out last year, but seems to have hit most theaters in 2024: Robot Dreams. I promise you won't regret seeing it.

Will you be watching Long Legs?

why is Snack Shack missing? Is this even movies?

Furiosa, yay!🎉 I can't believe that this epic movie bombed 😢 Why? Whereas the terrible , boring, having nothing new to say awful cash grab called 'inside out 2 " made a ton of cash So unfair.... Greetings from Poland ❤️🇵🇱

Austin Butler was pretty hot in bikeriders. Makes you wonder why we dont have those kinda bikeriders roles anymore in films nowadays lol

11:41 What do you need to see. Hm, maybe Ezra?

Go see HORIZONS part 1. I know you don't like westerns but this is an intelligent drama that wrestles with moral dilemmas when there are no easy choices.

I had the chance to see LONGLEGS and all I can say it's an insanely creepy, nihilistic masterpiece!

would

I loved Furiosa. Hated Dune Part 2, and now retroactively Part 1 as well.

1. Chime 2. Civil war 3. Dune part 2 4. In a violent nature 5. Furiosa

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
