This year, I wanted to do something a little different with the Reel Leadership content I created. It’s one of the blog’s most popular categories. With that, I wanted to take the time to reshare the 52 movies that were shared throughout the year.
Here’s the list. Now that most of these movies have been out of theaters, you may have forgotten what they had to offer, or you may want to check them out for the first time since you didn’t see them when the post came out.
Let me know what your favorite movie of 2025 was.

- F1: The Movie
- Superman
- Fantastic Four: First Steps
- Anaconda
