“We’re about to go into the deep end of the pool here… This is serious…” Another look back at some indie gems and other cinema highlights from 2024. The esteemed film magazine called Little White Lies from the UK has revealed their official list of their the 30 Best Films of 2024. In addition to their article (a list created by all of their writers together) they’ve also published an excellent countdown video of all 30 films as well. Their picks are based on UK release dates, so they include a handful of big 2023 films including The Zone of Interest, The Iron Claw, The Taste of Things (so good!), and La Chimera (already my #1 last year). They also highlight many other top notch 2024 favorites including The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Hard Truths, Challengers, Hit Man, Close Your Eyes, Furiosa, Juror #2, and Kneecap. The editing in the first portion of this video is fabulous – mashing up a bunch of films in a fun segment. Glad to see Hit Man on their list, too.
The list begins with Green Border at #30, and wraps with Nickel Boys at #1. Do you agree with their picks?
