I don't think it's worth creating a new thread about it, but for reference here is the Top 20 of 2025 as voted by 5 friends of mine and myself. Note that it's based on the release schedule in Switzerland, so some films have been in last year's Academy Awards (like the winner) and some films that are in this year's AA will be in our little competition next year (like Marty Supreme or The Secret Agent).
1 A Complete Unknown
2 Dossier 137 (Case 137) - French film about an internal affairs investigation on a case of police brutality
3 Tardes de soledad (Afternoons of Solitude) - Spanish art house documentary about bullfighting (my N°1)
4 The Room Next Door - Almodovar directed english speaking film about end of life.
5 One Battle After Another
6 Bird - UK coming of age movie in poverty
7 The Brutalist
8 Sirât - French film about a man looking for his missing daughter in the microcosm of rave parties in northern Africa.
9 Bugonia
10 Fuori - Italian film about a female writer bonding with two other inmates once out of prison (Fuori means outside)
11 Weapons
12 Babygirl
13 Caught by the Tides - Chinese movie mixing outakes of Jia Zhangke's 20 years filmography to weave a meta story.
14 Affeksjonsverdi (Sentimental Value)
15 Miroirs N°3 - German drama about a young women who becomes a kind of surrogate daughter after a car accident.
