Don’t let anyone tell you that 2024 was a bad year for movies. In a year that gave us one of the greatest sci-fi blockbusters of all time, how could it be? But 2024 was more than just watching Dune: Part Two over and over again in IMAX (though we did that, too). It was full of experimental arthouse films like I Saw the TV Glow and The Beast, rip-roaring action flicks like Furiosa, and solemn speculative sci-fi like Civil War. But maybe most importantly, it had Glen Powell doing an impression of Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
Using a highly scientific system, Inverse’s Entertainment team each ranked our favorites of the year, spliced our lists together, and popped out this list of 25 films that we love.
