Every year, we see endless “Top 10” lists — but art isn't a sport, and ranking films as the best has always felt arbitrary to me. So instead, this episode is about my 10 favorite films of 2025 — the ones that lingered, surprised me, challenged me, or simply stayed with me long after the credits rolled.A few ground rules up front:-These are favorites, not an objective ranking of quality-Straight-to-streaming films don't count — this list focuses on theatrical releases and films experienced as cinema-Narrowing it down to just 10 was incredibly difficult, so variety matteredBelow is the list (from 1 to 10), along with a one-sentence snapshot of why each film stood out to me:1) Sentimental Value:A deeply human, emotionally precise film about memory, regret, and the quiet ache of unresolved relationships.2) F1 The Movie:A visceral, propulsive spectacle that understands both the danger and the obsession behind elite competition.3) Arco:A visually arresting animated film that blends myth, movement, and emotion in a way that feels both timeless and modern.4) No Other Choice:A razor-sharp thriller that weaponizes moral ambiguity and keeps tightening the screws until there's nowhere left to turn.5) Ballerina:A stylish, brutal expansion of the John Wick universe that balances elegance and ferocity with confidence.6) Weapons:A deeply unsettling horror film that understands atmosphere, dread, and the power of what's left unsaid.7) Ne Zha 2:A spectacular animated sequel that blends mythic storytelling with emotional stakes and jaw-dropping scale.8) Nuremberg:A sobering, intelligent historical drama that confronts justice, responsibility, and the cost of moral reckoning.9) Splitsville: A refreshingly honest romantic comedy that embraces messiness, modern relationships, and uncomfortable truths.10) Sinners: A haunting, morally complex drama that lingers long after it ends, asking more questions than it answers.Honorable Mentions: The Naked Gun, Rental Family, Good FortuneThese just barely missed the list, and on another day could've easily landed in the top ten.This episode isn't about consensus — it's about connection. If one of these films meant something to you (or if I left one off that stuck with you), I'd love to hear about it in the comments.What were your favorite films of 2025?

Comprendre l'histoire du nazisme à travers le supplément de sens qu'offre l'infographie, telle est l'ambition de ce livre d'une richesse incomparable. S'intéressant tant aux incontournables de l'histoire du nazisme, comme son action pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qu'à des questions moins traitées, Maire Moutier-Bitan et Nicolas Guillerat offrent une réflexion globale, portée par une approche graphique puissante, sur un système d'une violence inouïe. Encadrement de la société allemande, réseaux et personnalité d'Hitler, mise en place de la dictature, organisation et fonctionnement du NSDAP, désastre économique, pillages et collaborations, épuration de la société, construction du système concentrationnaire ou encore dénazification, tels sont quelques-uns des thèmes de cette infographie exceptionnelle. Appuyée sur une bibliographie et des sources internationales, construite sur des modélisations contextualisées par des textes limpides, les auteurs proposent une synthèse sans équivalent des connaissances les plus actuelles sur le nazisme, accessible à tous.Marie Moutier-Bitan est notre invitée en studio pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Sundance feature programmer Ania Trzebiatowska joins the show to talk about curation as craft, responsibility, and intuition. From her roots in Poland to running Krakow's Off Camera festival, working in acquisitions at Visit Films, and programming U.S. and world documentary features at Sundance, Ania reflects on how taste is formed and why being pleasantly surprised when viewing submissions still matters most.We discuss the realities filmmakers obsess over, including who you know, timing, marketplace “success,” and why Vimeo analytics do not tell the full story. Ania breaks down what actually happens behind the scenes at Sundance, how programmers balance limited slots with thousands of film submissions, and why being the right fit matters more than trends or agendas.She shares why festivals need balance between urgent, heavy films and work that is entertaining, humane, and emotionally alive. Drawing from examples like André Is an Idiot and Gleason, Ania explains how character-driven storytelling can carry even the most difficult subjects. Advice to filmmakers: do your research, be clear about what you are making, and remember that programmers are rooting for you, even when the answer might still be no.What Movies Are You Watching?

1285, au temps des preux et des chevaliers.Bientôt, Philippe le Bel sera roi. Mais avant cette consécration, il accompagne son père Philippe III le Hardi dans le projet fou d'une ultime croisade, en terre du Midi. Se plaçant sous la protection de Saint Louis, Philippe III, avec le soutien du pape, veut imposer son plus jeune fils, Charles, sur le trône d'Aragon.Sur leur chemin se dresse la ville d'Elne, dont les remparts gardent l'entrée des Pyrénées. Elle est dirigée par un mystérieux gouverneur, surnommé « le bâtard du Roussillon », ou encore « Estefan le ruseur ». Aussi à l'aise avec les seigneurs qu'avec les manants, avec les chrétiens qu'avec les Maures, capable de se glisser dans la peau d'un conseiller du prince comme dans celle d'un cuisinier, quel parti cet homme imprévisible prendra-t-il ?La tension monte et le choc s'annonce gigantesque. Personne n'en sortira indemne, et c'est peut-être de cet incroyable gouverneur que viendra la surprise. En quête de vengeance, manoeuvrant dans l'ombre et en solitaire pour des motivations que lui seul connaît, il va donner un cours inattendu à cette épopée.Jacques de Villiers exhume dans ce grand roman historique une période méconnue de l'histoire de France, à travers un récit d'aventures peuplé de personnages aussi troublants que fascinants.Jacques de Villiers est notre invité en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.
