Film Highlights for 2025

2025 Film Release Schedule for UK

Likely Best Picture Oscar Contenders for 2025

I’m not convinced 2024 was a particularly strong year for film - but there were some worthy contenders for the award shows. As I mentioned in my previous end of year rundown - I watched 100+ 2024 movie releases last year - but struggled to pick out 20 quality favourites! I still have a number of the award contenders to catch up on - including Conclave which I’m watching this evening - possibly the days before this gets published, perhaps two!

 

No one really appreciates how much work goes into this compilation and curation - and for sure I have my own preferences - but I try to be still broad in my coverage!

 

As is always the case each year offers up an intriguing selection at the offset - but not all of those movies land properly!

I actually really enjoyed Gladiator II - but the Space Babboons and Sharks ruined it for too many. I would have gone with Hyenas or Wild Dogs for the first scene, and used Nile Crocodiles for the naval skirmishes - both those choices would be realistic. There’s no way the Romans had the technology to catch and store sharks for use at the Coliseum or breed ’Space Monkeys’ for that matter (I known - they’re apes!) - Ridley evidently on some strong medication there!

 

My top spot was hard fought for - and I went with the warmer feeling one in the end. The world is a cruel enough place already - I really don’t feel the need to watch tragic dramas - there is enough tragedy out there for several lifetimes - give me something do take my mind off all that  ’reality’.

 

I always lean a little more into Fantasy and Sci-Fi - but enjoy Action, Adventure and Crime dramas too - as long as there’s some sleuthing  and solving going on - I hate watching films about inept cops and so many still open cases. Give me a resolution and at least a bitter-sweet ending if not a happy one!

 

The eagle-eyed among you will note that I listed both Mickey 17 and Ballerina for last year, in fact Mickey 17 also for the year before - so that one in particular has spent a lot of time in post-production - trailers for both look great though!

I have the feeling that most of the big awards will be split between The Brutalist, Dune II, Conclave and Wicked. The Brutalist is currently bookies' favourite for Best Picture and Best Director, so that one looks like the likeliest winner for sure!
