“Anora,” “Wicked,” “Conclave,” “Emilia Perez” and “Nickel Boys” were named to the American Film Institute’s list of the 10 best films of 2024, the AFI announced on Thursday.
Also on the list: “The Brutalist,” “A Complete Unknown,” “Dune: Part Two,” “A Real Pain” and “Sing Sing.”
The list is a solid summation of the films expected to compete for awards in what appears to be a wide-open year, mixing blockbusters like “Wicked” and “Dune: Part Two” with critics’ favorites (“The Brutalist,” “Anora”) and small indies (“Sing Sing,” “A Real Pain”).
High profile films missing from the list include “Gladiator II,” “Blitz,” “The Piano Lesson,” “His Three Daughters” and “Nosferatu.”
