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.
