Halfway Mark Pt 1: Fav Films & Cinematic Achievements
Sunday, July 13, 2025 at 5:00PM by Nathaniel R
Film years always start slow because distributors don't do their work evenly. The second half is more robust of course and we've just entered it. Though I always hope to have screened 50 films from the new year by approximately the halfway mark, this year I'm managed 41 to date. Neverthless, let's take stock of January 1st through July 11th (since we're posting just after Superman's opening). Yes, it's slightly more than six months of cinema but close enough. It's not that all of these "bests" from a shallow pool will linger as "favourites", but neither should they be automatically sacrificed to recency bias in December!
The unofficial honors (with several write-ups) come after the jump...
