Arguably one of the most talked-about movies of 2024, Challengers was certainly a whirlwind experience. Starring the internet's girlfriend Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor, the film is gripping, intense and has a killer soundtrack to boot.

For those who haven't seen it, Challengers follows the intense journey of three rival tennis players who navigate their intertwined lives on and off the court. Set against the backdrop of a high-stakes tournament, ambition, betrayal and (of course) love all play out — not to mention some of the most exhilarating tennis sequences you'll see outside an actual match.

It's been a hot minute since there was a quality comedy like this to sing and dance about but we've finally got it in the form of No Hard Feelings starring Jennifer Lawrence.

Whenever we get the chance to promote Australian cinema achievements we're going to sing it from the rooftops.

Of An Age is a queer love story set in 1999 and follows the life-changing summer of a young Serbian-Australian ballroom dancer. This script is so moving and offers the lead actors the vulnerability and space to truly portray what it's like to fall in love for the first time.

Totally Killer.

There's nothing quite like a slasher comedy film set in the '80s to really light up the screen and Totally Killer does just that.

Kiernan Shipka is a brilliant main character as she traverses time and space to fight off the Sweet Sixteen Killer and rewrite history. Totally Killer has plenty of laughs, tongue-in-cheek generational observations and, of course, some really fun '80s fashion moments.

Saltburn.

If you've been anywhere online recently you'd be well aware of the blistering conversation surrounding Saltburn.

There's the bathtub scene, the grave scene and the 'Murder On The Dancefloor' scene amongst the most shocking moments across the 127 minutes — all of which need to been seen to be believed.

Director Emerald Fennell has quite a knack for making films that get people talking and Saltburn is no exception.
