HONORABLE MENTIONS 2024

 

LIST WEEK RULES  RECAP:

- It doesn't matter what year the film was made as long as I saw it for the first time in 2024.

- I have to watch the film in it's entirety for it to make a list

I watch a lot of films and unfortunately I can't put them all on my year end lists, here are 8 films in no particular order that I thoroughly enjoyed but missed out on the "Best Films I Saw In 2024" list.

JERSEY GIRL (2004)

I'm a huge fan of Kevin Smith and this was one of the few films in his filmography that I hadn't seen, this is one of his more restrained offerings and I loved it.

SMILE 2 (2024) 

This film was way better than it had any right to be and it JUST narrowly missed my end of year best films list.

DAY SHIFT (2022) 

         A fun popcorn flick that is a great time to be had, horror and comedy both done right.

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981)

A fun old school action flick from John Carpenter.

CHASING AMY (1997)

Another Kevin Smith film I saw for the first time in 2024, I loved it even though a few parts hadn't aged well, Kevin really seems to get the human side of things down to a tee.

LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2023)

An absolute bonkers film that was so worth the hour and a half, definitely recommend.

LONG LEGS (2024)

This is such an atmospheric film and Nicholas Cage is phenomenal. I saw this film in theatres and it was such an experience, the Nicholas Cage resurgence is very much real and I'm so for it.

 

DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID (1982)

This was such a hilarious film and I loved how it was made, if you can seek this one out please watch it as this was great and Steve Martin really made this his own.
