Manny the Movie Guy's Best and Worst Films of 2024

Manny the Movie Guy has unveiled his top 10 films of 2024, showcasing a mix of cinematic triumphs and disappointments. Topping the list is The Brutalist, a powerful immigrant tale from director Brady Corbet, with Adrian Brody delivering a stellar Oscar-worthy performance.

Other highlights include Anoa, a daring reimagining of Cinderella, and Wicked, which successfully adapts the Broadway hit into an improved, character-driven cinematic experience. Animated films also shone brightly, with The Wild Robot delivering thrills and heartwarming moments.

However, Manny didn’t shy away from calling out the year's misfires. Joker: Folie à Deux struggled with its identity, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis was labeled an overstuffed disappointment.

For an in-depth look at 2024's cinematic hits and misses, along with Manny’s Oscar predictions, tune in to the one-hour special 2024: The Year at the Movies on New Year’s Day at 6 a.m., only on NBC Palm Springs.
