|  | | | The 25 Best Movies Of The Year, Ranked | When we look back at 2025, we’ll likely think of it as a terrific year for the movies. Maybe it’s because Marvel movies no longer dominated the cultural conversation. Or maybe it’s because box office worries have lead to a little more risk-taking by Hollywood producers. Whatever the reason, big screen releases haven’t had a such a variety of genres, styles, and stories like this since 1999: We had everything from music-driven vampiric period pieces to demon-driven animated musicals; pitch-black alien invasions to sunshine-y alien superheroes; paranoid revolutionary epics to retro-futuristic family affairs. In a politically and economically and globally chaotic year, unique stories broke through the noise to help make sense of it all. In a year where there were multiple films lauded as masterpieces, and even more as instant classics, cinephiles were spoiled for riches in 2025. So spoiled that even a list of the top 25 movies of the year feels like it leaves out far too many incredible contenders. The Inverse Entertainment team put our heads together to give you the best 25 movies of 2025. | | READ MORE |  |

| | Destinations Where The View Does Most Of The Work | The best views don’t just look good — they recalibrate your sense of scale. On Bali’s east coast, Amankila delivers exactly that. Set between volcanic ridges and the Lombok Strait, the resort is engineered around its environment: terraced pathways stepping down the hillside, stilted suites angled toward the horizon, and a three-tiered infinity pool that visually merges with the sea. The architecture stays minimal because the landscape is already operating at maximum — dramatic, widescreen, and almost unreal in its calm. Guests can visit nearby villages, black-sand beaches, and historic water palaces, but the geography of this Bali retreat remains the main character. | | Book Now | |
