Every Taskmaster contestant ranked (UK series 1-20)

I only started watching Taskmaster around series 10-11, so I'm hardly a new fan, but I haven't been around since the very beginning. I knew about the show around 2016 but never watched it because the format sounded very uninteresting to me at the time, as I was more of a fan of traditional British panel comedy (Would I Lie To You, Was It Something I Said, Big Fat Quiz, etc.) so I dismissed it. In a way I'm glad I did, because it meant I had dozens and dozens of episodes to watch when I finally came around to it, and at this point I can safely say it's one of my top 5 favorite TV shows of all time as I've watched through most of it roughly 6-7 times.

My 50 Favorite Movies of 2024

I may have forgotten to do one of these lists last year, which is pretty disappointing to me, since even though I have very few people following these posts, I like to keep a sort of historical record of the things I used to think. It's always fun to look back on previous lists I've done to see how much my opinion has changed over time, like when I put The Perks Of Being A Wallflower as my #2 favorite movie of 2012, only to rewatch it and give it something along the lines of 5/10. 


Anyway, this isn't a post about 2023 - though I may need to work on getting one of those out soon - because I'm looking back at the most recent finished year, which had a whole bunch of interesting and surprising movies. In spite of having no perfect score-worthy movies, 2024 may well be the best movie year of the decade so far, and to reflect that I've decided to make this list into a true behemoth. I'm doing a top 50.


As usual, this is all opinion, and I'm going to try to keep my thoughts pretty minimal. I don't feel like spending 3 days typing this thing up, after all. So without further adieu, here's a big ole list of some movies I liked.
