Remember me
Let's celebrate more cinema! Always and forever. Even though we may have moved on from 2025, it's still worthwhile to look back at the many outstanding films from last year. Yet another new video countdown has debuted - this one is created by a young film critic named Will Bjarnar. This video featuring his 25 Best Films of 2025 is inspired by David Ehrlich's usual Top 25 Countdown video and follows the same kind of editing. Bjarnar counts down his favorites from 2025, featuring tons of our own favorites as well. I'm so glad to see Sirat, Lurker, Urchin, The Love That Remains, Eephus, Train Dreams, Sinners, and everything else. But it really is just One Battle After Another's big year – he even edited clips from it throughout into the video. We've also featured a few other great 2025 video recaps: Letterboxd's Dance 'Til You Drop, Patrick & Kyle's 25 Best Films of 2025 video, + James Chapman's 10 Best Movies artwork. Watch Will's Top 25 below.
