Start with Spring Breakers and go in release order.
The whole thing is 79 hours. At two hours a night that is about 40 evenings.
The three highest rated: Beef (8), Past Lives (7.8), and Ex Machina (7.7).

A24 box office and budgets
The 34 A24 films with reported numbers have grossed $1.47 billion worldwide on about $365 million in combined budgets, roughly 4.0 times what they cost. The biggest is Marty Supreme at $192 million, 13% of the franchise's total on its own, followed by Everything Everywhere All at Once ($139 million) and Civil War ($127 million).
Measured against what it cost, the best return belongs to Talk to Me, which made 20 times its $5 million budget. The weakest was Green Room at 76% of its $5 million budget. As a rule of thumb, a film needs about two and a half times its budget at the box office to cover marketing and the theaters' cut.
The best and worst rated A24 movies
Across 36 rated titles, A24 averages 7.2 on IMDb. The top of the list is Beef at 8, then Past Lives (7.8) and Ex Machina (7.7). At the bottom: Spring Breakers (5.3) and MaXXXine (6.2). Money and quality don't line up perfectly: the highest grosser, Marty Supreme, is only the 10th best rated.
