I know my job is to watch new movies and shows, but I made it a goal to watch even more films in 2025. I even went to my first film festival this year to see some movies before they were released in theaters, one of which will even make this list. In retrospect, I picked a pretty good year to up my movie-watching, because there have been a ton of great films.
Don't get me wrong, there's been some bad movies, too. Even worse, there have been some movies I was excited for that fell way short of expectations. But some of the best from this year have the potential to be all-time greats. My top three films, in particular, I expect to live in our memories and be rewatched on our screens long after 2025 comes to a close.
