The 2024 Academy Awards are behind us, and with the Cannes Film Festival in full swing and Sydney Film Festival right around the corner, it’s time to turn our attention to the best movies of 2024. The beginning of the year saw the release of the last few Oscar contenders of 2024, with hot titles like Anatomy of a Fall , The Holdovers and May December hitting cinemas. Following award season, we got the belated release of titles like Dune: Part Two , Challengers and Force of Nature: The Dry 2 , all of which were pushed back by the 2023 Hollywood strikes.

The very best of The Latch delivered straight to your inbox.

Of course, it’s still only May, and there are plenty of great films on the horizon in 2024, including Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga , Gladiator 2 , and Sundance darling A Real Pain , which will mark Kieran Culkin’s first role since Successio.
