2, 6, 11, 19

2. What was your favorite movie of the ones you watched this year?

I watched some really, really excellent movies this year but - if I had to choose from the line-up, I think Kissed (1996) changed and validated my personhood in a way few movies ever have.

6. What genre did you watch the most the year?

horror, in no small part because @devilbearingtrouble and I watched 24 of them together over the year + I participated in hooptober.

11. Recommend any movie you watched this year.

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin (2024), it's a documentary about a disabled man's online life on WoW and the ripple effect it had on his friends and family. the majority of the documentary is animated in the WoW style and it's one of those movies that makes it really hard not to cry.

19. Are there any movies you're looking forward to next year? This can be new releases, or movies you just plan on watching for the first time.

I just made my '25 watchlist! I think the movies I most look forward to seeing next year are:

the color of money (1986), the wolf house (2018), how to blow up a pipeline (2022), mad god (2021), hellbender (2021), private parts (1972), and the baby (1973)

there aren't any new releases I'm looking forward to outside of the eventual release of the third spiderverse movie.
