Better late than never, right?? The TOP 10 list is now posted, and as tradition demands, I have also included some bonus films and categories so that you might find something a bit out of the comfort zone to watch periodically. I watched 231 films in 2025 and I promise you … some were as expected, some were less than expected, and some were pleasant surprises. Here is the link to the list:

Movie Reviews from the Dark 
Great posts as always. 2025 was a truly fantastic year that produced many unforgettable movies. I love all the movies you listed here and definitely agree with your number one choice. Hamnet happens to be my favourite film of the year as well. I feel Chloe Zhao made a true work of art honouring the legacy of a legendary poet. I rarely ever cry watching movies but this movie elicited a strong emotional response from me. I think it’s a masterpiece and I am rooting for it to win big at the Oscars. I have yet to make my top 10 list but we share similar taste in movies.
Here’s my personal thoughts on Hamnet:
In your review, you mention the teacher that helped you appreciate Shakespeare. It’s a shame not everyone has a teacher like that.
Thanks for the kind words. I truly appreciate your feedback. I agree. It was a privilege to be taught by a teacher that loved Shakespeare. I think it’s that personal connection which made this film all the more special for me. My teacher was a role model inspiring my love of literature.
