Every Film I Watched For The First Time in 2024
I’m hoping this is really THE list where I find more new favorite films compared to last year which although it had improvements to the list I did in 2022, it wasn’t in the same level as 2021 which that was full of movies I now consider to be among my favorites. I really hope this list will at least come close to the great film list of 2021 and be even more interesting than the previous ones. This year’s rating system will be on a scale from 1-10. Hope you enjoy this one.
