My 2025 in Films

Films:

Bombshell - I had never heard of the scandal at the time, and I didn't know anything about the film before watching it, although I know the women who were involved in it.

Green Book - So good

Promised Land (1987) -

12 Angry Men - Great film. I would like to see the original now.

Holland - I enjoyed it.

Call Me By Your Name - Beautiful film, from cinematography, plot, and acting.

Eden - Crazy storyline, crazier since it's based on true events.

The Tender Bar - Second screening, and it was as sweet and heartwarming as I remembered it. I adore this movie.

A Million Little Pieces - Beautiful cinematography. I had never heard of the film, and it was one of the best films I have seen in 2025. Apparently, based on a true story. The guy wrote a book, but it seems he largely exaggerated some of the details (yeah, the whole pulling teeth out scene definitely rang alarm bells for me; I still like the film).

Palm Springs – I watched this film for a second time this year; I recalled that I thought it was super funny when I first watched it, and it did not disappoint. This film is an unexpected little gem. Highly recommend

The Order

Series:

Nine Perfect Strangers (season 2) -

The Better Sister

Daisy Jones & The Six

Documentaries:

I mainly watch documentaries, so it would be a very long list to put on here. Here are a few that stood out and moved me:

A Band Called Death - So beautiful. It reminded me of Searching For Sugarman
