Best movies of 2024 - post-Oscars update

About a year ago I posted my list of the best movies of 2024 (really a total ranking of all the movies I watched); I mentioned my plan to post an updated list after the Oscars ceremony (which I consider to be the unofficial end of the season for watching 2024 movies), but I got busy that week, and then just never got around to it. Until now! They're divided into groups by my rating; an asterisk means I watched it streaming online instead of in a theater, and the ones I saw after my previous list are in bold. Stay tuned for my 2025 list coming soon, I promise!!

9/10 (great):

1. Flipside
2. Sometimes I Think About Dying
3. Challengers

   8/10 (really good):

4. Hundreds of Beavers
5. Flow
6. Riddle of Fire
7. Good One
8. How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies
9. Dune: Part Two
10. Conclave
11. Red Rooms*
12. Rebel Ridge*
13. The Dead Don't Hurt
14. Knox Goes Away
15. Hard Truths
16. Nickel Boys
17. Heretic
18. Bird*
19. The Fall Guy
20. Hit Man
    ( 21-176 )

For the record, here's my full list of 2024 releases that I didn't get around to watching. Maybe someday!
