(with a few genre-defying/arguable selections)
The accctttingggg!!!!!!
Great ensembles or several stand out performances.
Stats: Prince of Darkness is the only film on the list that doesn’t also appear on either my Best Acting: Men or Best Acting: Women lists.
The best / my favorite performances by women. For actor(s), see notes.
Actors featured multiple times: 5 - Cate Blanchett, Frances McDormand, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep
4 - Jessica Chastain, Olivia Colman, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore,
Surprising, moving, hilarious, heart-pumping, incredible movies that I had never seen before 2024.
Last year's list: boxd.it/qCr0S
A very niche genre that I love.
