The Peoples Movies Top Films Of 2024 [The Writers]

2025 is knocking the door and it’s that time of the year we pick our favourite films. Behold is The Peoples Movies’ writers Top Films of 2024.

Thankfully this year we made sure we got our list before the end of the year. We love sharing what films we loved this year and we’ll shortly share the ones we didn’t enjoy. Also those films that surprised us, rose above expectations or the total opposite.  From the list below you can say we’re cinephiles and love our films and we all won’t agree with our choices. One thing I imprinted into The Peoples Movies ethos, films are divisive and we’ll respect each others reviews.

So was 2024 so much better than 2023? Good question. To some of our writers and I’m sure some of you will say yes, others will disagree.  The most important thing what did You think?! You can check out what our writer thought in 2023, via the link below.

2024 did see many new writers join the ranks of The Peoples Movies.  This is a big reason why our  Top Films List 2024 is a big one. The one rule is the film was released in the UK and Ireland in 2024 in cinema or via streaming services. Not every writer is from the UK, there might be an odd film the release date was different from the UK one.

Stay tuned, Worst Films Of 2024 Writers List is on it’s way.
