1. One Battle After Another
We’ll be honest: in the run-up to the release of Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, we had no real idea of what to expect. We kinda knew that it had been inspired by aThomas Pynchon novel; it had Leonardo DiCaprio wearing granny shades and doing alot of shouting; and that it was his first contemporary-set film since Punch-Drunk Love. When we finally got to see it, we all agreed that this was 2025’s pure kino moment, our jaws constantly on the floor upon witnessing the work of afilmmaker with almost Jedi-like mastery of the medium. Dazzling, pleasurable, memorable – and not just the fact it produced by-far the year’s greatest meme, but the fact it is the film we’ll be watching, in 20, 30, 50yearstime.
