Best of 2024: Anthony Nash’s Top 10 Movies
2024 is officially over, and with it comes time for everyone to put together their list of favorite things from the past year. For the world of movies, there were tons of incredible films to pick from, so with that being said, let’s take a look at what the best movies of 2024 have to offer.
