"You know what freedom is?" "What?" "No fear." Another year is over, which means it's time to look back at the best films released over the last 12 months. Artist
James Chapman, based in Leeds, UK, posted his
Top 10 Films of 2025 list on Instagram - by drawing the cutest little illustration for each & every favorite film. I've been an avid follower of Chapman for a few years already (
we also posted his illustrations for 2022 and for 2023 and for 2024) and I am a big fan of his artistic style. He draws and colors images in a notepad which represent his style and his favorite aspects of each film vividly recreated. They make me smile
every time. Always so adorable, he really loves movies. Many of films are my faves, too (

OBAA and
Sinners and
Train Dreams are also in my Top 10). A few of these seen below are also 2024 films that were only released in the UK in 2025 so they made his list this year (mainly
