Furiosa is my #1 film of the year so far, and I’m so unbelievably disheartened it didn’t make more money. George Miller is 79 years old, and his Mad Max films are singular in style and vision. If George Miller isn’t able to make his next Mad Max film because of Furiosa’s box office, I will never be able to forgive that.
The audience was right to stay away IMO. Ugly, unnecessary, and overlong. Seeing the clips from the much better and better looking Fury Road at the end was like pouring salt in the wounds.
It was great that your list included some dramas. In a movie landscape that's filled with so many SGI action fantasy films, it's refreshing that there are film makers still producing quality thought provoking movies. Really looking forward watching 'Thelma', 'Ghostlight', 'Tuesday' and 'Love Lies Bleeding'.
"I don't cry at a whole lot of movies, more as I get older." You're just slightly older than I am, and this is my experience as well. If you don't like it I wouldn't recommend having a kid lol pretty much every time I see something involving a kid in a movie or a TV show the tears are coming.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out years later that there was a bunch of dissension amongst the creatives behind the movie. Its commentary is anemic and splintered, and it really seems like there was a difference in what people wanted this movie to be behind the scenes.
@@ArynWellspring It didn't have anything profound to say, and frankly it stole quite a bit from Oliver Stone's Salvador. But it still had the POC in the refugee camp wthile the whites were in suburbia. The violence was done by white men while you had an extremely unrealistic scene with an elderly black actor. And all the throwaway lines where the PC fear stuff. Garland didn't really come up with anything original.
19:02. I saw Didi with one of my closest friends who worked on the film back in April. Seeing my hometown (Fremont, CA) represented in a cinematic way was so surreal. It's probably my favorite film of the year so far, mainly due to personal sentiments and growing up around that early RUclips era.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Furiosa. I knew it would probably be good, but I didn't expect it to be so great. I don't think it's fair to compare Furiosa to Fury Road since it's such a different film. It's a slower, more somber and contemplative movie. There are so many great details that are easy to miss with just one viewing. And Furiosa does so much more to flesh out the wasteland. It develops the politics, economy, logistics, culture, and power dynamics of the wasteland. I am just really impressed at how much thought George Miller has put into every aspect of this world. This is the kind of world building that I wish every sci-fi/fantasy/comic book franchise had. Disney/WB/Paramount/Universal/etc. all need someone like George Miller as the main creative director behind their franchises.
That was my first thought too lol Also that there haven't been any truly great movies yet. Civil War, Challengers, Love Lies Bleeding, Thelma and The First Omen are my top five and frankly not much else that stayed in my mind.
Same I am more of a foreign movie enjoyer so my top five would be, Kalki 2898, Dune 2, Boy Kills World, The Roundup: Punishment, Godzilla x Kong. This list has been changing constantly for past few months

😂@@michaeltylerablelol I think dune 1 was more boring and I think two was good when you can get a grip on what’s going on BUT I DONAGREE WITH THEM CRAMING SO MUCH INTO TWO FILMS . I think they should have did a tv series .
Jesse Plemons deserves a supporting nod for Civil War. In the little time he has he creates a character who you instantly understand and are utterly terrified by.
Sing Sing is the BEST MOVIE of the year and deserves nominations in most categories. The movie was shot on 16 mm film, in 19 days, with a very small crew. The DP, Pat Scola should be nominated for an Oscar for cinematography because the visual look, the lighting, the film choice, all created the naturalistic atmosphere to tell the story. Accompanied with Bryce Dessner's score that sells the beautiful scenes and intimate facial expressions. And kudos to the director, Greg Kwedar, who allowed dialogue to be ad-libbed at times, which created the emotional essence throughout the film that tugs at your heart. The cast deserves best ensemble because 90% of the cast are the formerly incarcerated men that participated in the RTA theater program while in Sing Sing and that authenticity shines. And what can you say about Coleman Domingo.... he deserves the Oscar this year, his performance is perfectly understated, and he allows the other men to shine because this is their story. Well Done!! Also, Clarence Maclin and Paul Raci both deserve best supporting nominations. Their performances tie the strings that pull the film to its brilliance. Best movie overall in a very long time and well worth the emotional journey.

I loved Civil War as much as most people hated Beau is Afraid, which was A24's last biggest movie (and I believe their biggest flop, which I found disappointing but unsurprising). In any other year, Civil War would sit comfortably at the very top of my list with little chance of anything topping it.

Awesome list Dan, would love to share my personal picks of top 10 movies of the year so far : 1. Dune Part Two 2. How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (A Thailand movie) 3. Love Lies Bleeding 4. The Architecture Of Love (An Indonesian movie) 5. Inside Out 2 6. Challengers 7. Furiosa A Mad Max Saga 8. Agak Laen (An Indonesian movie, it's now available on Netflix if you wanna check it out 😊) 9. Hit Man 10. In The Land Of Saints and Sinners (Liam Neeson in his return to form in the action genre, great movie! 🙌) There are others that I enjoyed but couldn't make it to the top 10 like Civil War, Monkey Man, Abigail, The Fall Guy, and I Saw The TV Glow. I have more "best of the year list" on TV rather than movies so might be nice to share some of my personal picks if Dan makes a "Best TV Series of the year so far. Anyway, it's been a pretty good run for movies, I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has to offer
Mmmmmm. Late night with the devil really stuck with me. Will you do a top 10 of the second half of the year? And then another video for top 10 of the year? Or will you combine the second half in to the entire year? I think I just went cross eyed.
Great picks! LOTS of overlap with my list. 1. Hundreds of Beavers 2. Love Lies Bleeding 3. Challengers 4. The Beast 5. Ghostlight 6. Dune: Part 2 7. Civil War 8. Late Night with the Devil 9. Sasquatch Sunset 10. Sometimes I Think About Dying 11. Handling the Undead 12. Thelma
I believe the AI images were removed for streaming from Late Night with the Devil. I didn’t see them when I watching it at least. Personally I’m against AI images films as it feels like including music you don’t have the copyright to. It just doesn’t seem professional on top of being legally dubious.
My top 10 are: 1. Monkey Man in Dobly Cinema 2. I Saw the TV Glow and Love Lies Bleeding🏳️🌈 (yes I'm breaking the rules but I love both) 3. Abigail 4. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in Dolby Cinema 5. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in IMAX 6. Haikyu The Dumpster Battle 7. The Fall Guy in Dolby Cinema 8. Spy x Family: Code White 9. Dune Part 2 in IMAX 10. Ultraman:Rising on Netflix
Going alphabetical.... The Bikeriders, Civil War, Dune Part II, The Fall Guy, Ghostlight, (saw incredible film, also has a lot of subtle moments in it that I liked) In A Violent Nature, Late Night with the Devil, Lisa Frankenstoen, (polarizing film very messy at points but it's really grown on me) Love Lies Bleeding, The Promised Land (made the foreign Oscar shortlist but didn't get nomed. Its a throwback to the period piece Oscarbait films of the 70-90;s.)
My top 25 of the first half (plus a week) of 2024: 1. Ghostlight 2. Snack Shack 3. Inside Out 2 4. Dune: Part Two 5. The Bikeriders 6. Challengers 7. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 8. Longlegs 9. Late Night with the Devil 10. The First Omen 11. Young Woman and the Sea 12. Wicked Little Letters 13. Love Lies Bleeding 14. Mai 15. Thelma 16. Civil War 17. Kalki 2898 AD 18. Kill 19. MaXXXine 20. Out of Darkness 21. The Beekeeper 22. Fly Me to the Moon 23. Drive-Away Dolls 24. Miller’s Girl 25. Boy Kills World
I haven't even seen 10 new movies this year. So few interest me, and due to cost, I have to be selective. But one of my favorites which I'm sure won't make a lot of lists is Marmalade. Brilliant, clever film.

I didn't watched much movies this year 1. How to make million before Grandma Die 2. Dune Part 2 3. 12th Fail 4. Exhuma 5. Perfect Day 6. Inside Out 2 7. Furiosa 8. The Boy and the Heron 9.Late Night with The Devil 10. Blue Giant Civil War will be on this list if the final act doesn't ruined the movie.
Nice to see "Ghostlight" acknowledged. Small film, unheralded, full of small truths and big (yet quietly rendered) emotions. Thank you. But note to serious critics: In any given year, you're lucky to have only two or three solidly fine ones which survive the test of time. Top Ten Lists are cumbersome and not authentic. They also tend to bury films like "Ghostlight."
Dan, I have always been watching your show religiously. Recently, a Thai films is taking the Asian region by storm. I hope you can watch the Thai Film, How to Make Millions before Grandma Dies, I know the title is tacky to almost funny. But, its a deeply cultural film that touched almost every country in South East Asia. Its an emotional journey that is worth time.
I do think it’s super strange how much flack Late Night with the Devil copped for its very brief AI use but no one seemed to care when Furiosa used it? I don’t have a massive problem with it being used but why was such a small budget film overshadowed by its use but everyone let Furiosa get away with it without any backlash?
My top ten so far 1. Dune Part II 2. The Fall Guy 3. Drive-Away Dolls 4. I Saw The TV Glow 5. Problemista 6. Furiosa 7. Kinds of Kindness 8. Musica 9. Challengers 10. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Hundreds of beavers is ridiculous! Also has many ties to video game tropes. Highly recommended to experience that silliness taken seriously is unbeatable.
The only movie I truly liked this year so far was Mars Express. It's a cyberpunk sci-fi animation. One of the best sci-fi movies I've watched, animated or otherwise.
This is my top 10 movies and all the movies I seen this year. 2024 1. Dune part 2 2. Furiosa A Mad Max Saga 3. Inside Out 2 4. Kind Of Kindness 5. Godzilla X Kong The New Empire 6. Back To Black 7.

IF Little gap 15. 100's Of Beavers Big Gap 16. Madame Web
I’ve only seen eight 2024 movies and I only liked four out of the eight. So here are my favorite movies of 2024. 1) Kinds of Kindness 2) Dune Part 2 3) Furiosa 4) The First Omen
Just saw the horror movie "Oddity" and it shot up to my top five (at least) of 2024 instantly. Hope Dan can review it, would love to hear his thoughts.
Some movies I haven't seen on here, but here's my list: 1. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2. Kill 3. Dune 2 4. Late Bloomers 4. Immaculate 5. Inside Out 2 6. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 7. I Used to Be Funny 8. Late Night With the Devil 9. Abigail 10. Hit Man

Furiosa is my #1 film of the year so far, and I’m so unbelievably disheartened it didn’t make more money. George Miller is 79 years old, and his Mad Max films are singular in style and vision. If George Miller isn’t able to make his next Mad Max film because of Furiosa’s box office, I will never be able to forgive that.
I know Tom Hardy himself said he doesn’t think it’s happening. Tragic if trur
It was the first Mad Max movie I saw and I was blown away. That will indeed suck if it’s the last one by Miller
@@LoganNagol oh wow! Very first? Not even Fury Road?

Anyone saying that “Civil War” takes too strong of a political stand, is insane. 💯
There were more politics in Captain America Civil War and Force Awakens than in Civil War.
I would say it was more heavy handed...it's a good film but it could have been great.
It doesn’t take a stand at all. It’s a movie too afraid to actually say anything

5. Late Night with the Devil
4. The Fall Guy
3. Monkey Man
2. Furiosa
1. Dune 2,
The Delinquents was a great film based in Argentina. I'm sure they will be a re make.
I saw about 0.2s of your clips of Hundred of Beavers before I knew it was from the people that made Lake Michigan Monster.
My top ten for this year so far:
1. Dune: Part Two
2. American Fiction
3. Civil War (2024)
4. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
5. Bad Boys: Ride or Die
6. Monkey Man
7. Abigail
8. The Fall Guy (2024)
9. Mean Girls (2024)
10. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Please don't hate for Mean Girls. It's fun, and I'm a sucker for memorable / catchy music in films.
American Fiction is from last year
Kudos for including hundreds of beavers. Saw it a few months ago at my local repertory theatre. It was great. Definitely worty checking out.
I've only seen ten movies so far this year, so here are the eight that I liked:
1. Dune: Part Two
2. Perfect Days
3. Butterfly in the Sky
4. Cabrini
5. God and Country
6: Jim Henson: Idea Man
7. Inside Out 2
8. Spy x Family: Code White
Cabrini was amazing. Truly inspiring.
Going off UK release dates (it just gets complicated otherwise)
1. All Of Us Strangers
2. The Iron Claw
3. The Fall Guy
4. Wicked Little Letters
5. The Bikeriders
Happy to see that Dan has joined the Beaverati. I’ve shown that movie to just about everyone I know and they all love it.
My top 10:
1. Dune: Part Two
2. I Used to be Funny
3. Sometimes I Think About Dying
4. I Saw the TV Glow
5. Hit Man
6. Boy Kills World
7. Thelma
8. Late Night with the Devil
9. The First Omen
10. Challengers
Awesome list Dan, would love to share my personal picks of top 10 movies of the year so far :
1. Dune Part Two
2. How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (A Thailand movie)
3. Love Lies Bleeding
4. The Architecture Of Love (An Indonesian movie)
5. Inside Out 2
6. Challengers
7. Furiosa A Mad Max Saga
8. Agak Laen (An Indonesian movie, it's now available on Netflix if you wanna check it out 😊)
9. Hit Man
10. In The Land Of Saints and Sinners (Liam Neeson in his return to form in the action genre, great movie! 🙌)
There are others that I enjoyed but couldn't make it to the top 10 like Civil War, Monkey Man, Abigail, The Fall Guy, and I Saw The TV Glow. I have more "best of the year list" on TV rather than movies so might be nice to share some of my personal picks if Dan makes a "Best TV Series of the year so far. Anyway, it's been a pretty good run for movies, I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has to offer
Mmmmmm. Late night with the devil really stuck with me. Will you do a top 10 of the second half of the year? And then another video for top 10 of the year? Or will you combine the second half in to the entire year? I think I just went cross eyed.
If Dan recommends it then we are watching it! As simple as that! Thanks, Dan, as always! 👏👏👏
Love to see the Hundreds of Beavers mention
Great picks! LOTS of overlap with my list.
1. Hundreds of Beavers
2. Love Lies Bleeding
3. Challengers
4. The Beast
5. Ghostlight
6. Dune: Part 2
7. Civil War
8. Late Night with the Devil
9. Sasquatch Sunset
10. Sometimes I Think About Dying
11. Handling the Undead
12. Thelma
No views? Let me fix that.
I believe the AI images were removed for streaming from Late Night with the Devil. I didn’t see them when I watching it at least. Personally I’m against AI images films as it feels like including music you don’t have the copyright to. It just doesn’t seem professional on top of being legally dubious.
Dan if you liked Tuesday watch A monster Calls. Similar themes to Tuesday with grief and using fantasy creatures but focused on a kid losing his mom
If I can find 5 good movies this year, I'll consider it a Win.
Perfect Days, Challengers, Dune 2, Ghostlight and Alien Romulus
agree so far Dune 2 and Challengers
I love that you included The Greatest Night in Pop, even if only as a runner up. I LOVED this movie. Watched it 3 times already.
Idk if any movie is gonna top dune part 2 for me. I saw it in IMAX 5 times 😭😭
My favorite movie this year is Furiosa (ironically) with Planet of the Apes is a close second and lastly Dune 2.
George Miller is the best movie maker right now, a close second is James Cameron.
My top 10 are:
1. Monkey Man in Dobly Cinema
2. I Saw the TV Glow and Love Lies Bleeding🏳️🌈 (yes I'm breaking the rules but I love both)
3. Abigail
4. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in Dolby Cinema
5. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in IMAX
6. Haikyu The Dumpster Battle
7. The Fall Guy in Dolby Cinema

9. Dune Part 2 in IMAX
10. Ultraman:Rising on Netflix
I watched Dune 1 and 2, it is spectacular as expected, I can't wait for the 3rd part 🤩
The Trouble with Jessica was easily one of the best comedy films of the year, went under the radar for a lot of people.
It’s awesome that Late Night with the Devil was on this list

I'm seeing it on the 4th because I have no plans and my neighborhoods fireworks activity is excessive lol
🇺🇸
Glad that Late Night with the Devil got mentioned, it did an excellent job building tension and David Dastmalchian is fantastic

I haven't even seen 10 new movies this year. So few interest me, and due to cost, I have to be selective. But one of my favorites which I'm sure won't make a lot of lists is Marmalade. Brilliant, clever film.

Civil War will be on this list if the final act doesn't ruined the movie.
I’m surprised nobody has Deadpool and wolverine on there list 😮🤦🏽♂️
that's because the ranking videos were uploaded before it came out
What a great list! Also loved all the little secret gem movies additions 🎥 This is why I love Dan's channel!
Nice to see "Ghostlight" acknowledged. Small film, unheralded, full of small truths and big (yet quietly rendered) emotions. Thank you. But note to serious critics: In any given year, you're lucky to have only two or three solidly fine ones which survive the test of time. Top Ten Lists are cumbersome and not authentic. They also tend to bury films like "Ghostlight."
Thanks for the heads up on the ones that haven't been released yet.
Dan, I have always been watching your show religiously. Recently, a Thai films is taking the Asian region by storm. I hope you can watch the Thai Film, How to Make Millions before Grandma Dies, I know the title is tacky to almost funny. But, its a deeply cultural film that touched almost every country in South East Asia. Its an emotional journey that is worth time.

I was in the minority of not liking Fury Road all that much, but I truly loved Furiosa.
I do think it’s super strange how much flack Late Night with the Devil copped for its very brief AI use but no one seemed to care when Furiosa used it? I don’t have a massive problem with it being used but why was such a small budget film overshadowed by its use but everyone let Furiosa get away with it without any backlash?
My top ten so far
1. Dune Part II
2. The Fall Guy
3. Drive-Away Dolls
4. I Saw The TV Glow
5. Problemista
6. Furiosa
7. Kinds of Kindness
8. Musica
9. Challengers
10. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Damn now I wish I saw Ghostlight but it only had like one showtime at a theater an hour away from me
Hundreds of beavers is ridiculous! Also has many ties to video game tropes. Highly recommended to experience that silliness taken seriously is unbeatable.
The only movie I truly liked this year so far was Mars Express. It's a cyberpunk sci-fi animation. One of the best sci-fi movies I've watched, animated or otherwise.
Mars Express is masterful sci-fi. It played in one theater in my area for one week and I’m so glad I saw it.
This is my top 10 movies and all the movies I seen this year.

A lot of my Top 10 & HM's are on your list Dan great job!
if you want to watch a movie about 100s of beavers, but you want the OTHER type of beaver, there are 100s of websites that have those for free
Just saw the horror movie "Oddity" and it shot up to my top five (at least) of 2024 instantly. Hope Dan can review it, would love to hear his thoughts.
Ooh I gotta hunt down Ghostlight!
Just saw "Kill" from India and its definitely jumped into my top 10, maybe even my top 5. Some electrifying scenes in that one
