Best Movies of 2025, Ranked
My 2025 ranking is messy in the best way: engines screaming, grief sitting quietly in the room, political pressure, survival mode, romance, faith, horror, and films that either shook me awake or followed me home. I am ranking these by impac
- 1
One Battle After Another (2025)★★★★★I went in blind here. Kala ko nung una, dahil sa title, puro violence lang ang ibibigay ng film.
- 2
- 3
Eternity (2025)★★★★★Maganda ang sets and may konting film grains that give it a soft and almost nostalgic texture.
- 4
- 5
Bugonia (2025)★★★★★Much stronger on a second viewing because the film shifts from feeling like a mystery to feeling like an interpretation exercise.
- 6
Sirāt (2025)★★★★★The film starts like a search story but slowly turns into a meditation on grief, and by the end I felt less entertained and more emotionally drained, like it just sits…

The Perfect Neighbor (2025)★★★★★The film keeps shifting my confidence from one side to the other, making every new detail feel like it could completely change how I see the situation.
- 9
- 10
The Lost Bus (2025)★★★★½Sa unang tingin, akala ko isa lang itong typical disaster survival film: sunog, takbuhan, sigawan, tapos iyakan sa dulo.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)★★★★½ - 12
- 13

The Housemaid (2025)★★★★½Watching this a second time gives me a very different appreciation for how the film is built.

Case 137 (2025)★★★★½Tense investigative drama about accountability and the difficulty of confronting institutions that protect their own.

She Rides Shotgun (2025)★★★★½Taron Egerton brings an intense, unstable energy that keeps a constant sense of danger on screen, while the film grounds itself as a father and daughter story about…

- 21
Heads of State (2025)★★★★½ - 22
Wall to Wall (2025)★★★★½Watching this film, I felt very lucky that I have financial freedom and I’m not stuck in a badly chosen investment vehicle, whether property or crypto.

Jay Kelly (2025)★★★★½Jay Kelly is a quiet, reflective character study about success, isolation, and the cost of living at a level far removed from ordinary life.
- 24
The Long Walk (2025)★★★★½Menacing Mark Hamill as always. He brings that intimidating authority, ramdam mo agad yung pressure.

Ne Zha 2 (2025)★★★★½Ne Zha 2 carries the same vibes and aesthetic as the first film, but here the animation is much sharper and the details are more noticeable.

Forevergreen (2025)★★★★½I view this story as a kind of quiet rebellion that happens even within the safety and comfort of a loving parent.

Sacrifice (2025)★★★★½Undeniably great cinematography. Same level as The Northman mixed with Dune: Part One and Part Two.
- 32
★★★★½Another heavy documentary about the effects of war and terrorism on ordinary people.
- 33
I'mPerfect (2025)★★★★½Warm start. I am not really educated about Down syndrome, so I just went along with the story and learned from what the film was showing me.
- 34
- 35
Swiped (2025)★★★★Lily James is so beautiful as always. But more than that, she carries the film with a quiet strength.

- 55
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025)★★★★Surprised that this is such a reflective emotional healing journey.
- 56
Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)★★★★I love the idea that the Predators have this culture of hunting down the best of the best instead of just targeting random human beings as prey.
- 57
- 58
- 59
Exit 8 (2025)★★★½Sa storytelling, ramdam ko yung pagkaloop style niya, parang Edge of Tomorrow, Groundhog Day, pati Source Code at kahit If I Stay.

- 70
The Woman in the Yard (2025)★★★½The film uses circular anamorphic lenses, giving it a dreamy and unstable feel.

Novocaine (2025)★★★½The film uses anamorphic lenses, which already gives it that stretched, cinematic look.

Good Fortune (2025)★★★It honestly feels like Keanu Reeves just gate crashed into this production while on break from John Wick.

No Other Choice (2025)★★½At first, that unpredictability is intriguing, but over time it can feel disorienting rather than purposeful.
- 98
Steve (2025)★★½The first thing I noticed is the look. Circular bokeh lenses are used, film grain is very evident, and there are interchanging shots that feel like old film or…
- 99
- 100
★★½The film captures the profound pain and systemic hatred fueled by years of bloody conflict.

- 104
- 105
Obsession (2025)★★½Tbh, I laughed more than I got spooked. The first hour has strong craft right away.

- 119
- 120
- 121

Ice Road: Vengeance (2025)★There are actually some breathtaking shots, but I kept getting taken out of the experience whenever it switched to obvious studio green screen shots.
- 123
Sentimental Value (2025)½I love how natural Nora and Agnes are. Rachel was also very natural in her performance.

Caught Stealing (2025)½Background noise kind of movie. Feels like a waste of Austin Butler’s talent.
