I've done a lousy job of keeping up in here.
As we get into the fall, this is to not forget the wonderful films already released, in 2024.

But I do recall Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

The top level, in order:

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
The Fall Guy
The Beekeeper
Cabrini
Horizon: An American Saga

I am sure that Screams Before Silence and Bearing Witness are top level, but I have not been able to see them.

A step down:

Argyle - first 2/3 are fun, enjoyable, last 1/3 is copying Kingsman.
Deadpool & Wolverine - entertaining, but I have not been a super fan of either.
Longlegs
Ghostbusters: Frozen Kingdom
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Sight
Alien: Romulus
Trap - the actual twist is not actually in the trailers.
City of Dreams
Vindicating Trump
Monkey Man
Kill (Hindi language)
Mad Max Furiosa

I have not seen Hit Man, but it seems kinda interesting.

The Beekeeper?

I just looked on The-Numbers and it's the only movie in the Top 100 Worldwide Box Office I've seen in 2024. I loved it. I guess it's my best movie by default.

I already forgot about The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare since I haven't kept up any sort of spreadsheet on 2024 like I did last year. Thanks for reminding me. I do want to watch that one. There are a few others I do intend to watch.

Curious to see your top list.

Trump will be fine.
He will also be your next President.

its over for Hollyweird

but they have one more group of excuses for their pervert product nobody watches and their incompetence...writing strike, voice acting strikes, actor strike...

Some gritty documentary are praised

There are supposed to be some good documentary films but I like the escapism of movies, some on Russians dying Ukrainians dying might be too much for me or the Israeli Jews bombing Lebanon and Palestine, some films are getting good reviews giving voice to Gaza filmmakers
while I avoid the depressing war political documentary films it is still Mostly foreign film for me

Kids cartoons from California studios look as if their artists can no longer animated and they are too stoned or drunk to pencil or photoshop anything also Major US animation studios are injecting this weird disgusting political stuff for kids to watch, visually harassing them with weird politics.

They are doing their best to keep other Studios out like HBO or Netflix or JApan or Bollywood, South Korean film makers and these foreign films sometimes beat Hollywood products
I don't think the old boys club want another Japan Godzillia or One Piece or Demon Slayer beating them again.

2024 has been another of those years for the worst of Hollyweird, although I hear the Beekeeper was ok and some liked 'The Dead Dont Hunt' and 'Long Legs' 'Molli and Max in the Future' and the loony 'Hundreds of Beavers'

Other to watch Dune-2
Wolverine Deadpool

some liked Civil War

Furiosa Mad Max the Aus / USA franchise product was supposed to be good but audiences didn't want to risk a Hollywood product.

it has also been a good year for smaller independent American and European films, horror fantasy thriller stuff which seem to have mostly been blocked from having box office release due to movie politics

Flow a Cat animation from Belgium, France, Latvia.
'Citizen of a Kind' a South Korean movie about stolen savings
The Antique but political, deportation of Georgians from Russia
Waves or in Czech 'Vlny' although political, 2024 Czech-Slovak historical thriller drama film
I'm Still Here - a mother and activist searching for her missing husband congressman Rubens Paiva, during the Brazilian Military Dictatorship.
South Korea 'Noryang Deadly Sea'
Children of Las Brisas, three Venezuelan children from the impoverished neighborhood try to become professional musicians
My Name is Loh Ki Wan, Korean Belgian
You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack or 'No estás sola'
The Promised Land a Danish movie
Alienoid 2 Return to the Future another Korean film
South Korea again with Badland Hunters
Abyss or Avgrunden a story about a family and a mine
Exhuma a movie Ghosts and Horror and Burials...South Korea again
South Korean 12.12: The Day...but again like 'Civil War' maybe not the best year for an Assassination movie
some say watch out for Indian Bollywood and Pakistani animation like The Glassworker
others liked 'Goyo' a 2024 Argentine romantic drama but I won't watch it
a Polish movie 'The Peasants' 2024 some liked it but its actually a 2023 film it got a release at the Toronto film festival and became popular on Netflix

I have not watched the South Korean 'Dog Days' but people liked it, also 'The Flood' or 'The Great Flood', 'The Roundup Punishment' or 'Mission Cross' and 'Wonderland' are supposed to be good

I am in two minds about Hollywood /Hollyweird ... I think it can enter full collapse but also save itself if movies like 'Furiosa' Wolverine and Deadpool or FNAF get good feed back and good reviews
However Hollywood self sabotaged and did not promote FNAF

Hollywood is now getting its ass kicked by small indie products and its ass kicked by other foreign studios

in fact you could probably just pick a random South Korea movie on Netflix now and it will beat 98% of TheShit from Hollywood

Complete shit, it was online for free, seen a few mins and I wouldn't even watch it free in HD

the comedy seemed kinda crap

maybe they said something about the Chosen People or Israel or how the 'USS Liberty Deserves to be Bombed' that made you happy?

Metascore Mixed or Average

The Fall Guy was a massive flop

Cabrini struggled, maybe Hollwood didn't want indie movies or films with a spiritual message, it had a small budget but struggles to make profits

in defense of Hollyweird and its shittypolitical annoying culture
...not all movies are terrible
Alien Romulus is a good movie, not great but 'good' its dark and scifi horror so not all enjoy the genre but parts of the movie a done very well.

Kill is not Hollywood, that movie goes out of the USA and into some Indian Hindu bank account, it is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language, Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, it only got a small US release most of the US studios tried to block it from USA cinema, Nikhil Nagesh Bhat predominantly works in the Hindi film industry, if Toronto and Canada keeps importing millions of people from India then Trudeau's homosexual lesbian cosplay open border friends they will have more Bollywood or India Hindu movies to watch in cinema

it has been out 88 days/12 weeks and still has not broken the half a Billion mark
https://www.metacritic.com/movie/kill
the movie has a Generally Favorable Meta score of 74

it is not 'The Best' of 2024 by a long shot
