Deadline for your votes is set for:
Monday March 10th at noon eastern time (9 am pacific).

Happy New Year, Blu-Ray.com! Are you ready to look back on a year that was positively Wicked? 2024 certainly has a lot of Substance to it: we've had everything from Marvel Jesus to a Late Night with the Devil, more anxiety than Inside Out 2, and the most red and white Christmas in years (looking at you, Art). Whether you liked Gladiator 2, Dune 2, or Nosferatu, we're gonna count down the best and brightest 2024 had to offer...

Guidelines

Like previous years, simply list your top 20 - 25 films in order descending from your favorite, the higher up the film is the more points it'll get, like this:

1. 25 Points
2. 19 Points
3. 18 Points
4. 17 Points
5. 16 Points
................
16. 5 Points
17. 4 Points
18. 3 Points
19. 2 Points
20. 1 Point
................
21. 1 Point
22. 1 Point
23. 1 Point
24. 1 Point
25. 1 Point

Your top film gets 25 points, because it's your favorite so it deserves a little bit extra. This year continues the addition of 21 - 25 as we believe everyone should have a chance to add some runners up, they all get 1 point each, which will hopefully avoid us getting many tie breakers and might allow us to add some little known films that wouldn't of initially gotten many peoples attention last year. If you can't think of extra 5 films worth mentioning, then don't worry, the minimum amount of submission is 20 films, the extra 5 are for people who might want them.

And please, list your films in the order given - no randomly ordered submission will be counted.

The Rules

1. Like mentioned above, Minimum amount of films listed is 20 and Maximum is 25. If you can't list 20 movies you've seen this year, all the films on your list will only receive 1 point each towards the total so be sure to reach that 20 milestone.

2. What counts as a 2024 release? - A film must have been released either limited, wide, on demand, or straight-to-dvd (which ever comes first) in the United States in 2024. This does not include film festivals or released internationally. It may be hard to determine if some films were released in 2024 or not, so that's what the strict rules on this are for. We stick to the US as our guide for no other reason than it is easier that way. You can cry into your pizza but it won't be changed.

Use the release dates on IMDb if you are unsure if it's eligible. As an example from a previous countdown, Snowpiercer was released in some countries and festivals in 2013, but did not get a limited release in the U.S. until June 27th, 2014. So that film will count as eligible for 2014. Likewise, a movie that doesn't get a wide release until January, but it had a limited release sometime in 2024, would also count.

Classic films that were re-released ARE NOT ELIGIBLE! Please do not include them on your list, you'll be asked to change it and if you haven't changed before the deadline, the films on your list will get 1 point each.

And if you're unsure if a film is eligible, just ask and we will help figure it out for you!

3. Please only make one list - Make only one list on this thread. However, you are free to update and change your original post as often as you'd like until the deadline. It will make tallying very hard if there are multiple lists from one person. Just find your original post and click 'Edit' to make your changes. If you do re-post your list twice or more, I'll message you to remove them.

4. Add a short review of your film choices - In an attempt to personalize the list as a whole, I want members to post a short bit of prose about their choice. This can range from a short sentence consisting of a couple of words to a couple of lines long paragraph, or you can link to a previous review you wrote when the film was released.

This is not compulsory, and you can write these short pieces on however many of your choices you want, even if it's only for your first pick, however the more input the better, the short words of wisdom will be included on the final tallied up list in a well-presented manner.

5. Any votes from brand-spanking-new accounts or accounts that are in any way suspicious or suspect will be void. Play nice, or don’t play.

6. Feature-length only, please; no short films or collections of shorts. As a general rule, that means 60 minutes and over, but there may be exceptions we'll look at case by case.

7. Finally, just to remind you, the Deadline is set for: Monday March 10th at noon eastern time (9 am pacific). Please make sure you get your list in and make any final edits before this deadline, as any changes after that will not count.
