Favorite Movies Watched in 2024
Book By Book
Once again, I reviewed just 9 movies in 2024, in part because there is so much great TV to watch now. I only review movies that I really enjoy, so any movies on my entire 2024 list (below) are worth watching, not just my top picks. Also, it’s almost impossible these days to label a movie in a single genre, so I included some explanation for most of them.
As in years past, my top picks in each genre are just below and my full list of movies reviewed last year is further down. To see all of the movies I have reviewed on my blog–a considerable list–check out the Movies tab, where they are listed by genre (keeping in mind there’s a lot of cross-over). Links go to my reviews, with a trailer. Note that where each movie is available might have changed, since I first reviewed it, so double-check to see where you can watch it now.
Best of the Best Movies Watched in 2024
Note how many of my top picks were adapted from books:
Best Action/Suspense/Thriller
Matt Damon is excellent as a father from Oklahoma trying to save his daughter who’s been imprisoned in France. Combines family drama, mystery, and legal drama.
Best Drama
Can I declare a 4-way tie? All of these (see below) were excellent and recommended (how does the Academy decide?).
Outstanding in every way, with an all-star cast and fabulous cinematography. An historical drama about mysterious murders of Indigenous people in early 1900′s Tulsa. Based on the nonfiction book by David Grann.
Best Comedy
Probably our favorite movie of the year! This warm, thoughtful, entertaining movie about books, writing, and the publishing industry is also laugh-out-loud funny. Based on the novel Erasure by Percival Everett, proving he was brilliant even before James.
Best Sci Fi
I was tempted to pick A Quiet Day (see below) because it was more my style, but there is no question that these two movies, based on the best-selling novel, are epic sci fi masterpieces.
