Dave’s Top Ten for 2024!

I didn’t realize that the Oscars are on Sunday, so I am rushing this out on Saturday afternoon.  I didn’t like many of the A.A. Best Picture nominations, so I will just give my Top Ten films for the year.  However, my favorite film is an Oscar nominee!  Please refer to my individual reviews for the A.A. Best Picture nominees for my take on these films (accessible by clicking on the titles below).  The only nominated films that I didn’t review were “Nickel Boys ”  (which I haven’t seen yet), and “Wicked”.  I didn’t like “Wicked” much due to its excessive length, many mediocre songs, and lack of humor.  (The play was very funny).

My Top 10 Favorite Movies for 2024:

  1. A Complete Unknown
  2. Hit Man
  3. Thelma
  4. Cabrini
  5. Juror #2
  6. The Bikeriders
  7. Conclave
  8. Twisters
  9. I’m Still Here
  10. My Old Ass

My Choices for the Six Top A.A. Awards (not my predications because they are too political):

  1. Best Picture: A Complete Unknown
  2. Best Actor in a Leading Role: Timothee Chalamet – A Complete Unknown
  3. Best Actress in a Leading Role: Mikey Madison – Anora
  4. Best Supporting Actor: Yura Borisov – Anora
  5. Best Supporting Actress: Zoe Saldana – Emilia Perez
  6. Best Director: James Mangold – A Complete Unknown

My Rankings for the A.A. Nominated Films:

  1. A Complete Unknown
  2. Conclave
  3. I’m Still Here
  4. Anora
  5. Emilia Perez
  6. The Brutalist
  7. Dune: Part Two
  8. Wicked (No Review)
  9. The Substance

(No vote on Nickel Boys, since I missed it.)

I have loved the movies ever since I saw “The Wizard of Oz” as a young boy. When Beatle-mania hit the USA, Rock-N-Roll was my greatest passion, but I haven’t enjoyed the current music scene nearly as much over the past 15 years, so that void has been filled by film. In college and med school, I would see movies with my friends and we would stay up late into the night chatting about them. I still love seeing movies with friends and then having dinner to discuss them. This blog evolved out of my desire to tell my movie-loving friends about movies I thought they would enjoy. The blog allows me to do this in a fun way and to reach movie fans everywhere.
