B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my favorite movies of 2025 into the ol’ VCR. 

Well friends, we survived 2025. 

The world is an absolute dumpster fire, so let’s talk about some movies to make ourselves feel better for a fleeting moment. 

I feel like I say this every year, but horror won out for me in 2025.  

From multiple (great) Stephen King adaptations to reimagined vampires, and everything in between, horror (and horror-adjacent) movies took the majority of my top spots for the year. 

That’s not even including the other mentions on my top 20 horror faves list. 

But, speaking of that list, I think it’s time for a couple of disclaimers, starting with my world-famous one… 

…Just because I think a movie’s good doesn’t make it a good movie, and just because I think a movie’s bad doesn’t make it a bad movie. The movie-making process is stressful, and I think it’s badass that people do it (unless it’s offensive). 

Also, yes, I know some movies are included in both lists. As I mentioned earlier, horror reigned supreme for me this year, so some of my favorite movies are also some of my favorite horror movies. 

Lastly, I did miss a couple of horror movies that generated some big buzz like It Ends, What Happened to Dorothy Bell?, and Bone Lake, but I hit as many as I possibly could, and I’ll cover them as I continue to knock them off my watch list. 

Alrighty, that should do us for disclaimers and introductions. 

Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are some of my favorite movies from 2025: 

My 10 Favorite Movies of 2025

• Bring Her Back
• No Other Choice

Honorable Mentions 

The last few weeks of the year significantly changed my rankings, so I’d like to throw out some honorable mentions that all couldn’t be more different.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is the best Knives Out film in the series so far, and I love the mirror it holds up to religion as a whole. 

I’d also like to shout out the first 80-85% of Bugonia. The majority of the issues I have all lie within the third act, and if things had been left a bit more ambiguous, it would’ve been in my top 10.

And finally, I do have to give Wicked: For Good its flowers. I called that I would love the second Wicked because it has the darker elements, and I was 100% right; I even saw it in theaters twice. I don’t know if I would say it’s one of the best movies of the year, but it is one of my personal faves.
