Great movies were made to be debated. All right, maybe that’s not their primary function, but all art deserves to be argued over. If you’re passionate about something, you’re going to feel compelled to fiercely defend your favourites and shout down whatever you think is undeserving. Inflaming public discussion is one of the reasons we’ve put together this list of the greatest films ever made. It gets you thinking, and, when reasoned and civil enough, perhaps rethinking your own opinion.   It seems like a particularly good time to get the discussion going, too, given that movies are, slowly but surely, inching back toward the center of popular culture. Young people are going to cinemas again, particularly for repertory screenings, and making hits of original movies from fresh filmmakers like Ryan Coogler's Oscar-record-breaking Sinners. Letterboxd is growing in usage, and the Criterion closet is all over social media. New cinephiles are being made every day, and we’ve always thought of this list mostly as an educational tool for burgeoning film buffs. It covers a lot of ground: over 100 years, multiple countries, and just about every genre imaginable. So let’s get talking – and most importantly, watching.   Jump to list: 100-91 |  90-81 | 80-71 | 70-61 | 60-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1 How we chose our 100 best movies of all time Admittedly, the process is not an exact science. Mostly, it involves a bunch of arguing, whittling and deal-making amongst Time Out’s...

And we’re off. In most years, it takes a few months to assemble a list of the best movies of the year so far where the bar for quality isn’t lowered into the Earth’s core. The first quarter of the release calendar is typically where studios toss their tax writeoffs, but to this point, 2026 has outstripped expectations. In how many other years have we gotten a killer horror sequel like 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a sharp, gross Sam Raimi return-to-form, a Gus Van Sant thriller and one of the best actor-to-director transitions in recent memory, all before the calendar even flips over to March? And that’s to mention some of the smaller gems that have already popped up. As usual, this post will be updated throughout the year as highlights arrive – and there is bound to be a lot of them, between Project Hail Mary, Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, all arriving in the first half of 2026 alone. As you’ll see below, though, we’re already off to a good start. May we say that movies are… so back? 📕 15 book-to-movie adaptations to get excited about in 2026🔥 The 40 best movies of 2025

The Island of Barefoot Luxury St. Barts (Saint Barthélemy) is the crown jewel of the French West Indies. It is a place where you can spend the morning hiking to the secluded turquoise waters of Colombier Beach and the afternoon sipping rosé at a world-class beach club in St. Jean. This eight-square-mile volcanic island is famously expensive, but it offers a cohesiveness of style you won’t find anywhere else in the world—every villa, boutique, and bistro feels deliberately curated. Whether you’re looking for a romantic hillside bolthole with a private plunge pool or a sprawling estate for the ultimate group getaway, our selection of the island’s best Airbnbs puts you exactly where the action (and the views) are.

Be them Scandinavian innovations or indigenous rope walkways in Peru, eye-catching designs or skyline staples, our world would look very different without the bridges that connect our communities. Humans (with help from Mother Nature) have been figuring out how to traverse rivers, valleys, and rainforests for centuries, leading to some gorgeous examples of historical and contemporary architecture. We know, we know – there are literally millions of bridges in the world, and so many are stunners. So, while we’ve picked some of our favourites, take heed that this list is by no means comprehensive. Did your fave bridge make the list? Scroll on to find out.

Romance may be dead in the real world, but in cinema, it’ll live forever. Whether it’s classic and stormy like Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, modern and subdued like Celine Song’s Past Lives or hot and horny like Heated Rivalry, love is simply too elemental of an emotion for filmmakers to ever abandon. Even if you’ve never, say, robbed a bank with your loved one or stood by your sweetheart as they transformed into a hideous monster, the best romantic films make you understand and sympathise with the decisions of those under love’s spell – because one way or another, we’ve all been there.   There are so many movies about love in all its complications that ranking the greatest of them is a major challenge. To help us curate this list, we chatted to more than 100 filmmakers, actors and writers, from The Notebook author Nicholas Sparks to Notting Hill director Richard Curtis to our own Time Out scribes. We even got Miss Piggy to chime in. Whether you prefer comedies or dramas, horror or sci-fi, we’re sure you’ll find the following list of the 100 greatest romantic movies ever speaks to your own heart as well.

Updates for 2026: Behold: 30 more of the best romantic comedies ever made! We’ve expanded this list of the all-time greatest romcoms to 100 in order to include recent hits like The Idea of You, Rye Lane and The Worst Person in the World and previously overlooked gems like Crazy, Stupid, Love and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Love hurts. Love scars. Love also makes us act like total imbeciles. Indeed, love can be the most painful of emotions, but it’s also often the funniest. If you’ve ever found yourself in its grip, then you know the strange ways it can make you feel, and the weird things it’ll make you do. And even if you haven’t, well, there’s a whole genre dedicated to letting you know how silly it can be.  No wonder romantic comedy persists as one of the most broadly accessible genres in all of film. So why, then, has Hollywood seemingly stopped making them? At one point in time, romcoms filled cinema calendars. Now, they’re largely relegated to streaming – or, in the case of something like Celine Song’s Materialists, miscategorized. It’s perplexing, because not only are romcoms some of the most you can have with a room full of strangers, but isn’t love one of the most universal human experiences? Of course, not all love stories are the same. Some are farcical, others more sophisticated, some cynical, others straight-up crazy. Love contains multitudes, and so do romantic comedies, and we considered it all when putting together this list of the 100 best romcoms of all...

If you’ve heard Tbilisi described as "the new Berlin" or "the next Prague," believe the hype. Georgia’s capital is having a massive moment for 2026, drawing in digital nomads, techno tourists, and wine lovers who want European charm without the Schengen price tag. It’s a city of chaotic beauty, where crumbling Art Nouveau facades sit next to futuristic glass bridges, and the smell of fresh shoti bread is never far away. The Airbnb game here is elite. Because Tbilisi has a history of grand merchant houses and Soviet industrial spaces, the rental inventory is incredibly unique. You can sleep in a "Italian Courtyard" mansion with 4-metre ceilings, a converted sewing factory loft, or a glass-walled studio overlooking the Narikala Fortress. We’ve filtered through the listings to find the stays that offer serious character, fast Wi-Fi (essential for the nomad crowd), and the best locations. Here are the best Airbnbs in Tbilisi.

With the return of The Night Manager, Industry and Hulu’s A Thousand Blows, the home viewing year has kicked off in head-spinning style. And with HBO’s Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Netflix’s How to Get To Heaven From Belfast, the latest from the creator of Derry Girls, the array of small-screen offerings are landing at dizzying speeds well into the spring. We have stopped at nothing – not sleep, not family responsibilities – to watch all of it and curate this list of the best shows to give your limited spare time over to. You don’t have forever to spend on the sofa so make it count with something from our list of the best of the year so far.

If Seoul is the frantic, futuristic brain of South Korea, Busan is its beating, sun-drenched heart. Often dubbed the "Miami of Korea," this coastal metropolis offers a vibe shift that is palpable the moment you step off the KTX train. Here, the skyscrapers hug the sand, the seafood is pulled straight from the ocean, and the coffee shops have views that rival the Amalfi Coast. But the real draw for 2026 isn't just the beaches; it’s the accommodation. Busan’s Airbnb scene has exploded with creativity. You can sleep in a high-rise residence that floats above the clouds, a retro-styled villa overlooking the industrial harbour, or a "Sky Capsule" house where colourful trains chug past your bedroom window. We’ve filtered out the basic officetels to find the pads with serious character. Here are the best Airbnbs in Busan.

Whether you’re margherita-loving purist or an all-the-toppings enthusiast, a fan of New York-style, Detroit-style, Neapolitan-style or your own whacky style, everybody’s their definition of a dream pizza. But cities all over the world have put their own spin on the dish, too, and that’s why we called on our international network of editors and writers to share the weirdest, tastiest and most lip-smacking pizzas where they live. So, feast your eyes on Time Out’s freshly-baked roundup of the best pizzas on the planet.  RECOMMENDED:🍝The best cities in the world for food🥪The best sandwiches in the world🥩The best steaks in the world This list was edited by Liv Kelly, Time Out’s travel writer.
