This ranking includes only new theatrical or VOD releases that debuted in the US between January 1st and December 31st, 2025, and hence eligible for the OFCS and AWFJ awards, as well as for the Academy Awards; some films released in the UK without US releases (and so ineligible for those awards this year) may also be included, for my own bookkeeping purposes.
Links go to my review. Numbers after each entry are Date First Viewed/US Release Date/UK Release Date; year is 2025 unless otherwise noted.
In the listing below, a film’s release was theatrical unless indicated by ° for a film released direct to streaming.
