There are still a few movies to be released (https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/2024), but it's still probably a good time to have a look at the best movies from 2024 and discuss them.

There will be similar threads on [email protected], and probably [email protected]

Feel free to comment with the movies you liked the most, ideally one comment per movie so that other people can chime in and discuss.

[1/2] Just scrolling through my "recently released" tab on Plex:

The Beekeeper:

Seriously, where did this movie come from?? Ridiculously fun and I usually hate action movies and Jason Statham. A tad long but the movie takes itself exactly as seriously as the audience does and it works so well.

Hundreds of Beavers:

Maybe my MOTY, I've just never seen anything like it in a full-length film. Super imaginative with a really cool Lumberpunk aesthetic to it.

Frogman:

Silly, stupid, and fun found footage about the fuckin' Loveland Frogman. Good movie that doesn't overstay it's welcome and has a surprisingly decent payoff. Watch with a group.

Civil War:

This movie got enough praise when it came out, so all I'll say is that I agree with it.

I Saw the TV Glow:

Watched this just the other day finally. Very dreamlike, very surreal, almost Lynchian in that it's a not-horror movie being played off as one.

In a Violent Nature:

A satire of old '80s slashers. Lots of time spent watching the killer walk through the woods. Me and my friends jokingly call it "In Some Silent Nature," but it gets my props just for taking such an left-field approach to the genre.
