Got tagged by @havendance to share my top 6 movies of 2024! (Technically tagged on the sideblog, but im putting it here)

Getting tagged in this game was really funny to me, because of the 22 movies I watched this year 14 of them were either DC movies or required for my Spanish class. That's over 60% of the stuff i watched lol. And the thing that makes it worse is when I include movies i watched for other school stuff it brings the number up to almost 80%. I've literally only seen 4 movies this year that weren't DC comics or required for school lmao. Anyways "top" 6: (bc some of these don't deserve the word top applied)

Yes these are vaguely in order though there's maybe some movement (1 and 2 can honestly go either way)

The Suicide Squad and Krypto and top tier in terms of enjoyment, while Sixth Sense and Akelarre (also titled Coven of Sisters but changing it for the English release was stupid imo so im ignoring that) I'd consider movies that are like Good that I also liked (though Akelarre specifically is depressing AS FUCK). The Batman id put in the middle between the two groups (but like it was also long and i got kind of bored at one point idk. Needs a rewatch in the post-Penguin world).

I feel like I'm cheating by putting the Star Wars Holiday Special on here bc it does NOT deserve it, but there was no obvious 6th pick for me (split between 3 mid movies and none rlly stood out) so I just went for recency bias (watched yesterday) and put Star Wars: THS, a movie which is like the horribly malformed and disowned lovechild between real star wars and a 70s variety show if everyone was doing cocaine (which they were!). Only recommend watching that one with friends really to inturrupt with jokes but honestly was better than I expected, despite being the worst thing I've watched this year.

Uhm tagging @threephantomrey @cometcrystal @tubapun bc they like movies 👍 (and also everyone else but yeah)

#anyways putting my propaganda for Akelarre in the tags here bc id actually recommend it lol: its a really good (but also dark) movie #following a group of young Basque girls who are accused of witchcraft as part of the Spanish Inquisition #and their plan to outsmart their captors and escape #its partially in spanish and partially in euskera (basque language) so theres going to be a lot of subtitles involved #but its really good but also trigger warnings for like. really everything youd expect to be associated w a film following that topic #also its on netflix 👍#my letterboxd is so cursed imo. or not really but i dont wear it with pride like my goodreads lol. thats where i get really real #my goodreads presents as sane bc league of comic geeks allows me to quarantine the side of my brain that is obsessed with detective comics #comics away from my normal book taste lol #tags obviously not obligatory etc etc #also i kept saying akelarre was “really good” i did give it 4 stars. so not the best best thing ive seen dont get overhyped but it was kind #of haunting and the last scene really sticks w you
