The Films of 2025, Ranked

It’s that time of year: It’s time to look back at and rank every 2025 film that I saw. Instead of doing a top 10 or bottom 10 or anything like that, I’m ranking absolutely everything. And this year, I saw a whole bunch. I’ll say up front that I don’t bother with movies that I know aren’t my kind of thing, which means you won’t be finding many of the superhero films or big block busters from the year because I typically have no interest in those and get little to nothing out of them. I also don’t really keep up with television as it’s coming out most of the time simply because I prioritize films, however I did see a couple of limited docu-series and TV adjacent projects, so I’ll chuck them into the ranking for the hell of it.

The video directly below covers the rationale for every placement, and the list below that is color-coded for the general quality level. I’ll also make an effort to update written list with additional 2025 films as I see them from time to time (with asterisks to indicate they weren’t on the original list).
