UPDATE: The list is now 82. I’ve added an additional 9 titles.
EARLIER: It’s hard to believe, but 2024 is here and we’ve just closed the books on another movie year. These last few years I’ve been doing “most anticipated” lists, and I’ll probably have a more concise list running in January.
For the time being, I would love to hear from our readers about the films they are most looking forward to in 2024. Surprisingly, despite the strikes halting plenty of productions, there’s still a lot to look forward to.
There are also a few question marks — directors like Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson, Ari Aster, Adam McKay, Zach Cregger and James Gray all had production on their films delayed by the strikes. Will they be able to squeeze in new films by year’s end?
It turns out that 2024 looks really good, on paper at least. I found 50 titles, so far, that pique my interest. Now it’s your turn. I’ve most likely missed some titles and would love to fill the gaps with your help. I’ll keep updating the list as suggestions roll along.
