Happy new year! A new year doesn't just mean all sorts of new movies to look forward to (like Mickey 17 or Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning) but also an old year to look back on and an opportunity to watch some good movies you missed.

So, are you looking to watch a good movie? Consider watching one of the best movies of 2024! Those are currently The Wild Robot, Dune: Part Two, A Real Pain, Conclave, Inside Out 2, We Live in Time, Wicked, and The Substance.

In the review of 2023 I had watched seven of the best movies of 2023. This year I have again watched seven of the best movies, with only Wicked getting past me.

Some of the good movies haven't yet been broadly watched like Anora and Memoir of a Snail so they could still break through to the best movies of 2024. Look at the rest of the most rated movie of 2024.

Looking for a bad movie to see? Consider one of the worst movies of 2024, which are currently Madame Web, Megalopolis, Something in the Water, Unfrosted, Night Swim, Kraken: The Hunter, Drive-Away Dolls, and Afraid.

In 2022 and 2023 I managed to not see any of the worst movies of that year! This past year was different, I even saw three of the worst films of the year. With Megalopolis I knew what I was getting into and with Drive-Away Dolls and Afraid I saw the potential (which unfortunately was not realized).

Since 2021, you can rate seasons and episodes on a series' page (like here for De Avondshow met Arjen Lubach or herr for Fleabag). But you couldn't yet get an overview of all your season or episode ratings..

So I modified and extended some code so that you can also see your season and episode ratings on your ratings page. For example, you can now get an overview of all the episodes you've rated.

Creating overviews for season and episode ratings was pretty easy but getting all the different types or ratings all at once was a bigger challenge. I managed to do that with UNION in the SQL code and some extra code here and there. And you can use all the filters too! I'm pretty proud of that :)

You can choose which medium you want to see in your ratings overview by selecting the option.

You can see the best movies from the 90s or the most popular comedies, pretty handy when making your movie choice. But the movies you've already seen are still there. So I added a filter so you can choose to see only the movies you've already seen or haven't seen yet.

Just like your active ratings, you turn on the filter by selecting the option.

For example, you can als look at the most popular movies you've missed.

Back in 2021, I added multiple ratings allowing users to keep tracking of their movie watching history on Veboli. Old ratings of movies that have later been rewatched and rerated show up on your ratings page in gray.

For the sake of completeness, you can also see all inactive ratings.
