Definitely! One that slipped through the net due to my local cinema closing down in September.

Impossible to see everything. I couldn't get to see Anora, Zone of Interest, The Wild Robot and so many more that probably would have had a shot of making it.

It was. It's silly, and completely implausible, but I had a blast with it (the first half mainly). I love Shyamalan's determination to make bizarre, high concept movies - like Old, Split, Glass - even if they're quirky or rough around the edges.

It varies by the film for sure (and happens in reverse for UK produced films). I suspect for a more 'out there' film like Poor Things, distributors try pick their moment in each market, to avoid clashes.

Ageed she was great. And it was such a bizarre mish-mash of concepts too, almost like a different film per act. High entertainment factor.

Wasn't it just! I went to see it on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised.

We only got it in the UK in Jan 2024 alas. Figure if I don't include it here, it gets lost in the year transition grey area.

Epic picks! Theres a podcast's worth of chat to be had on every year i think. I know what you mean about the most interesting stuff being left out. Usually the 2nd/3rd place per year is more of a 'personal pick', but for #1 you've sometimes just gotta get Jurassic Park in 😅

Holding back on finishing FFVII for a few months - or even years - doesn't dull the impact of eventually seeing it through, I found. I remember there being a big gap in my play through. It only added to the sense of occasion finally finishing it.
