30 Favorite Films from 2025

30 Favorite Films from 2025

You got my list in audio form; here are stills from favorites here! Unranked (number one is obvious) but these are my 30 favorites of 2025.

In another lifetime, I would've loved to have been a photographer/cinematographer so I love assembling stills/shots from my favorites every year. For the podcast on why I picked these: https://www.jimlaczkowski.net/2025films
