Absolutely incredible editing. You get better and better every year man! Surprised to not see The Seed of the Sacred Fig in here. Also, I need Nickel Boys and The Brutalist like yesterday. This wait is brutal.
Setting THE SUBSTANCE to “Creep” was already silky enough, but having it play out of “The Air That I Breathe” - the older classic giving way to the newer model with the same DNA - was *inspired*.
thank you for the multiple bad boys ride or die cuts (and the rest of it obvi but the floor drowning in first minute really got it started on right foot)
I look forward to these every year. I find that we have very similar tastes in these things, and I always come away with more than a handful that otherwise might not have been on my radar. Thank you!
And may I also say I think these are becoming more and more a work of art in their own right!
u can’t expect a critic to baby feed you what you should or shouldn’t watch and how to feel about it, you’d turn to them to compliment on your own watching experience and critique. he’s been vocal about his opinion on both parts, if you took the time to read them maybe you wouldn’t act so dismissive
Brazilian filmmaker here following your videos since film school back in 2012. They've been good sources of inspiration and I love how not only u have been improving them over the years but actually making a difference w them. Congrats! Hope one day I can show u one of my shorts (or features, maybe)
this video may not be the best to pick a new movie to watch. it does contain spoilers. this is more appreciated if you've already seen the movies, or at the very least don't care about spoilers. its fantastically done and the editing and soundtrack are great. Its basically a short film in itself.
Are the movies listed somewhere or the titles in the video or metadata somewhere? I can't see them so don't really know what I am looking at, unless I am missing something.
I’m sorry, David, but I watched about half the video and, though I enjoyed it, I didn’t see the name of one movie. So this is more video than countdown I guess? Are the names of the movies written down anywhere?
Specifically waited to take my lunch break until this was out, so I could watch it in peace. Loved every moment of it and Challengers match with the music made me grin like an idiot
this made me cry my eyes out just out of the beauty of some images and remembering my movie-watching experiences of some of these, I absolutely love the care you put into these and how they just keep getting better. also laughed my ass off at needledropping creep on the substance edit, genius
2024 was a phenomenal year for film! 🎬✨ Check out this countdown of the top 25—any favorites on the list? Or maybe a gem you feel was overlooked? Let’s talk cinema! 🎥🍿 #BestOf2024 #FilmLovers #movies #movielovers
I left the theatre after watching “Megalopolis” very perplexed at what I had just watched, but I enjoyed the hell out of every scene with Aubrey Plaza. Also I live in NYC and like to refer to it as “New Rome” now and then 😂
omg I wish I could watch it now but made an agreement with my husband that we’ll watch it together tonight. Thanks so much David, looking forward to it ❤️

All that being said however… this was breathtaking.
And may I also say I think these are becoming more and more a work of art in their own right!
