| SISU |🎬 Top 50 Movies of 2025 (so far) |
2025 has been an absolute marathon for cinema. From high-octane racing dramas to the return of horror icons and massive superhero resets, we’ve been eating good this year. Whether you’re looking for your next theater trip or a Friday night stream, this ranked list has you covered.
Here are the top 50 movies of the year
that you need to watch.
The Top 10: Must-Watch Elite
These are the heavy hitters defining the
year.
1. F1 The Movie
Brad Pitt and Joseph Kosinski finally
delivered the speed. This isn't just a racing movie; it's a technical
masterpiece that puts you directly in the cockpit. The sound design alone
deserves an Oscar.
2. Sinners
Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan
reunite for a vampire thriller that feels like an instant classic. Gritty,
terrifying, and dripping with style.
3. Superman
James Gunn didn't just reboot the Man of
Steel; he brought hope back to the genre. A colorful, heartfelt love letter to
comic books.
4. Thunderbolts
Marvel’s band of misfits surprised
everyone. It’s messy, hilarious, and punchy Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan
have incredible chemistry.
5. How to Train Your Dragon
The live-action adaptation nobody thought
could work but absolutely did. Seeing Toothless in realistic CGI was a
tear-jerker for the original fans.
6. Warfare
A24’s intense combat film from Alex
Garland and Ray Mendoza. It’s harrowing, political, and visually stunning. Not
for the faint of heart.
7. Predator: Killer of Killers
The franchise goes animated (and brutal).
This anthology film expands the lore in ways we've wanted for decades. A total
game-changer for Yautja fans.
8. Mission: Impossible –he Final
Reckoning
Tom Cruise running. Impossible stunts.
The stakes have never been higher. If this is truly the end for Ethan Hunt,
it’s a perfect send-off.
9. 28 Years Later
Danny Boyle returns to the rage virus.
It’s faster, meaner, and arguably scarier than the original.
10. Companion
The sci-fi thriller that came out of
nowhere to dominate the conversation. Twisty, uncomfortable, and brilliant.

Blockbusters, hidden gems, and
crowd-pleasers.

franchise returns to make you fear everyday objects again.
16. Novocaine : Jack Quaid can’t feel
pain, and the action sequences are wildly creative.
17. The accountant 2 : Affleck returns.
More math, more headshots.
18. Mickey 17 :Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi
satire is weird, funny, and existential.

deep-sea survival thriller based on a true story.

saga continues.

action. Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. Are back at it.

comedy with Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega.
26. Jurassic World Rebirth :Dinosaurs
eating people. Sometimes that’s all you need.
27. Black Bag : Soderbergh’s spy thriller
is slick, fast, and intelligent.
28. The Life List :A charming Netflix
rom-com for a cozy night in.
29. Elio :Pixar takes us to space with a
visual feast.
