HPPH's Films of the Year
Chosen by HPPH staff & volunteers.
It's been a fantastic year for film here at the Picture House, with so many unique and memorable releases – which always makes coming up with a top film list a challenge. But we're delighted to share our top 50 films of 2024 – and hope it might offer some inspiration for any you might not have seen.
We're also pleased to say that we'll be bringing back one of our top 10 early in the new year, and you get to decide which film will return. You'll find the poll at the bottom of this post, and voting closes on New Year's Day – with the winner announced soon after on our social channels.
