Just having a look at websites tops (www.indiewire.com/gallery/best-movies-2024/, rollingstone.com/…/best-movies-2024-1235079024/), I realize how many movies I missed ha ha

Borderlands and Madame Web are definitely topinv my list of worst. I’ll give the nod to the latter as the firmer seems to have been almost deliberately sabotaged by the studio, while Madame Web was, apparently, exactly the film Sony wanted to release.
Less about movies I missed and more just ones I didn’t see because: a) I have more… “low brow” tastes than some critics and b) they got showings at film festivals but didn’t necessarily trickle down to movie theatres (and/or they are on streaming platforms).
I will likely get around to some of them, I was trying to catch Anora before it left my local multiplex but couldn’t.

Yeah, i am kind of having a hard time with the choice because there are still so much gaps like Anora, the Burtalist or Nosferatu.
Another issue is how to decide which year some movies belong to. For example “Perfect Days” from the rolling stone list:
Wikipedia. I assume it made the 24 list because the US release was in February this year, but it debuted last years in other markets and was even nominated for an Oscar.
Personally i find it easiest to just go with whatever year Letterboxd uses, which in this case is 2023. But if for this pole we decide it to be a 2024 movie, then it might get my vote over Dune II.

I just go by the date of first release on IMDb, which should be pretty much the same.as Letterboxd.
