‘Wicked’, ‘The Penguin’ and More Make the AFI List of Best of 2024

2024’s standout films and TV shows have been unveiled by the American Film Institute. The list features many movies that are either fresh off the press or yet to be released. What sets this year’s selection apart is a significant number of smaller, independent film productions making the cut, with blockbusters like “Dune: Part Two” and “Wicked” being exceptions. Among the best TV series of 2024, streamed favorites such as “Shōgun”, “The Bear”, and the latest Netflix series by “The Good Place” creator Michael Shur titled “A Man on the Inside” have made impressive marks.
