Table of Contents

This is a live list where I rank the movies of 2025. If something isn’t on the list, I haven’t seen it. Leave your comments and we’ll talk. The movies within a category are in alphabetical order. I give a lot of weight to scope, scale, and depth. If a movie is higher than you expect, it probably did one or all of those things very well. If it’s lower, well, it probably frustrated me. Full thoughts are available on the all-time rankings page!
