? <\/strong>In life, few things offer us the escapism we so often desire \u2014 yet we\u2019ve <\/strong>come to know that a good film or a binge-able show often do the trick.<\/strong> Offering viewers a one-way ticket into a different reality across time and space, films are amongst our greatest treasures.<\/p>\n

?FUN FACT-<\/strong> In case you were wondering, 2025 saw a total of 25k films and series<\/a> released all across the world, 18k of which<\/a> were films, according to IMDB. in Egypt, production was somewhat modest, with some 45 films released, compared to Hollywood\u2019s 5k, and Bollywood\u2019s 2k. <\/p>\n

? THE BEST IN CINEMAS- <\/p>\n

Many highly-anticipated films saw the light of day this year<\/strong>. That said, the first half of the year was somewhat disappointing, with a few films we\u2019d been looking forward to missing the mark, such as Materialists<\/a> and A Big Bold Beautiful Journey<\/a>. But it wasn\u2019t all rotten tomatoes and disappointed reviews \u2014 many releases hit a home run, granting audiences an enjoyable cinematic experience \u2014 and even setting some up for the 2026 awards season.<\/p>\n

#1- <\/strong>Sinners<\/a><\/strong>:<\/strong> Directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan, Sinners<\/a> exceeded even the highest of expectations. The film tells a terrifying story set in the US South in the \u201830s, somehow finding a common denominator between folk horror and R&B music in a powerful chronicle of Black suffering. The film spotlights Smoke and Stake, twins played by Jordan, and their cousin Sammy (Miles Keaton). The tight-knit crew open a juke joint, and horrors beyond comprehension ensue. Our verdict? Sinners earned a perfect score from us for its excellent direction, stellar performances, one-of-a-kind story, and unexpected and extreme horror. <\/p>\n

#2- <\/strong>One Battle After Another<\/a><\/strong>:<\/strong> Adapted from 1990 postmodern novel Vineland, director Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s latest film was an incredibly gripping cinematic work<\/a> that dissected the state of contemporary US politics. The film tackled questions of race, immigration, revolution, and counter-revolution in a mixture of action, thriller, and comedy, holding our undivided attention for its entire 2 hour and 40 minute runtime. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, rising star Chase Infiniti, and Sean Pean \u2014 who delivered an Oscar-worthy performance. <\/p>\n

#3- <\/strong>F1<\/a><\/strong>: <\/strong>Hot on the (w)heels of a disappointing start to the cinematic season, director Joseph Kosinski raised the bar during what had been a lackluster mid-season for cinema. F1<\/a> dominated the box office race in the US and most countries worldwide upon its debut, and for good reason. The film garnered critical acclaim, leaving no room for boredom. Characters were fleshed out, the entire cast \u2014 particularly Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem \u2014 put forth their best work, and the movie\u2019s score by Hans Zimmer left us putting it on repeat. <\/p>\n

#4- <\/strong>Weapons<\/a><\/strong>: <\/strong>The 2025 season saw plenty of horror films to satisfy the macabre-inclined among us. Weapons<\/a> in particular, however, is the one that stood out the most to us. In his second horror film, up-and-coming American comedian and director Zach Cregger delivers a disturbing story where horror stems not from jump scares (though there are a bunch), but from the spine-chilling concept itself. <\/p>\n

\n

#5- <\/strong>Bugonia<\/a><\/strong>: <\/strong>While a niche production, Bugonia<\/a> is undisputedly one of the best films of the year. The film represents the fourth collaboration between Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos and the iconic Emma Stone, culminating in an experimental film that bridges between reality and absurdity \u2014 with a few hints of sci fi. The film stands out for its peculiar premise, its surreal sequence of events, and a shocking ending \u2014 factors that, in our opinion, made for an experience not to be forgotten any time soon. <\/p>\n
