   Top 25 Movies of 2025 + Blind Ranking 2026 Releases!

   There were a lot of great movies in 2025, and we've seen just about all of them! So this week we’re back and breaking down our Top 25 Movies of the Year, counting down the films that stuck with us the most—from the big theatrical hits to the smaller surprises we couldn’t stop thinking about. Which movies made the cut? Which ones got snubbed? And how different are our lists? THIS WEEK’S SIDETRACK: David is stepping into the hot seat for a blind ranking challenge. We’ve pulled together ten of the most anticipated movies coming this year, but he has to rank them before he knows what the next movie is. Will he accidentally put the biggest movie of the year at #10? There’s a very good chance. FOLLOW US: @CinemaSidetrack @andyperezfilm / andyperezfilm.com @absofool / @absolool
