My 50 Favourite First Time Watches of 2024
2024 was the year I put a lot of time, effort, and hard work into working on myself and my mental health. I have never been very good a prioritising myself or known what me-time/self-care looks like for me. I have come to realise this year that it is watching films. Whether it be something silly and distracting or something gut wrenching and cathartic, film has become my safe space. In 2024 I managed to watch 365 films, including short films, repeats, and rewatches (because for example, I watched Secretary four times, Re-Animator four times and Bride of Re-animator five times). Throughout the year I have kept a list of my favourite first time watches (in a rough order, don't hold me to it even though I'm publishing it in a blog!) and seeing as the list was 50 films long, I would like very much to share the top 50 with you and recommend that you watch, at least one but preferably all of them. 50.
