We’re closing out the year with Laura and Em bringing you their absolute favourite films of 2025 — from two girls whose actual job it is to watch everything.

From the blockbuster no one thought would hit this hard, to the unsettling sci-fi surprise that completely rewired our expectations, to the movie that quietly became the most talked-about watch of the year, this round-up proves that 2025 delivered in ways we did not see coming.

And because it wouldn’t be an Em-and-Laura movie episode without a fight, things quickly derail when one pick sparks a very real debate about release dates, eligibility for today's theme, and whether “vibes” should count more than rules (Laura has thoughts).Consider this your must-watch list before the year ends — emotional, surprising, occasionally unhinged, and very on brand.

THE END BITS
