According to Letterboxd, I watched over 300 movies in 2025, making it a challenging task to narrow down a list of my favorites.
From vampires to aliens, from Indian cinema to Hollywood, from indies to blockbusters, here are the best movies I watched in 2025.
Check out my 2025 Faves list on Letterboxd to see a few more honorable mentions.
I realized how long it had been since I updated this blog and wanted to share some of the great movies I’ve watched lately. I’m including my reviews from Trashwire, but I’ve been reviewing (almost) everything I watch over on Letterboxd as well.
First up is Sinners, which instantly made my favorites list for 2025.
The next one I want to shout out is a smaller film that had a limited release, but was one of the few movies to make me cry this year, Bob Trevino Likes It.
As most people know, I really love South Indian cinema, and Kuberaa was another immediate fave for me.
Sorry, Baby is a brilliant blend of comedy and drama that I absolutely loved.
And last but certainly not least is Weapons from director (and Whitest Kids U’ Know co-founder) Zach Cregger. This is my most recent watch and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it.
Over the past six months or so, I’ve watched about 70 South Indian movies. I even started a list on Letterboxd to keep track. Since RRR is making waves and winning awards, here are a few movies I’d recommend watching if you loved RRR.
