I’d like to see what you all felt were your favorite movies of the year.
- Endgame
- Knives Out
- Spider-Man: Far From Home
I barely saw a dozen movies this year, so my list is about as mainstream as it gets. But I’m also a huge fan of the whole MCU, so Endgame would’ve likely been tops no matter how many other amazing films I found time for.
As far as 2019 movies go, I think I only watched Joker and Marriage Story. I wish I had seen more - Endgame, Parasite, The Invisible Life, The Irishman, Detective Pikachu. I might get to watch Rise of Skywalker in the next couple days, so there’s that, I suppose.
EDIT: oh wait, I watched Alita: Battle Angel as well! So my list would be:
- Marriage Story
- Joker
- Alita: Battle Angel
1.) The Lighthouse
2.) Dolomite is My Name
3.) There is no third film
I saw about 35 movies released in 2019 this year (+ some 2018 releases that only came to the theaters in Switzerland this year). I’m not totally sure of the top 3 yet, but it’d be from the following list (in that rough order).
- Cold Pursuit
- Ford v Ferrari
- Knives Out
- Yesterday
- Motherless Brooklyn
Ignoring Netflix movies (because then this would be too easy), the bottom three would definitely come from the following list:
- Hellboy
- Ad Astra
- Dark Phoenix
- Glass
- Men in Black: International
Looks like I saw exactly two movies made in 2019, so I guess my two best movies of 2019 were Ad Astra and Detective Pikachu. I couldn’t say which was ranked 1 and which was 2, they were both pretty good.
I was debating whether to watch this. Is it a good sci-fi film? Or is it more about emotional turmoil? I’ve been staying away from stuff on the emotional front, but am totally up for sci-fi/fantasy focused fare.
You may want to avoid then.
OK thanks :)
I didn’t see many new films this year. So here is what I got:
Endgame
Wick Chapter 3
Angel Has Fallen
Looks like I saw six that were released this year. The best three were:
Knives Out
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Little Women
I suppose The Irishman, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Endgame. Three big, special movies/special situations. I saw a lot this year and enjoyed most of it.
Knives Out
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
the Top Gun Maverick trailer
I’m not sure I saw anything I absolutely loved this year. I liked some of them a lot.
Liked a lot:
- Glass
- Ford vs Ferrari
Liked:
- Shazam!
- Alita: Battle Angel
- Avengers: Endgame
- Spiderman: Far from Home
- Late Night
- Brittany Runs a Marathon
Was just okay:
- Captain Marvel
- Star Wars Ep IX: Rise of Skywalker
- Good Boys
- Bumblebee
- Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
- John Wick 3
Didn’t like/Couldn’t finish:
- Aquaman
- Men in Black International
- Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
Maybe I’m forgetting some of the smaller movies I watched this year. If so, it might come to me later. Those were the big ones though.
I wasn’t convinced I had even seen three 2019 movies, but it turns out I had. here’s my top three:
- Avengers Endgame
- Us
- Captain Marvel
But you have to put those in context of the very few movies that I saw… the vast majority on 48 hours’ worth of intercontinental flights. Here’s what the above three were up against:
The Dead Don’t Die
Alita: Battle Angel
HtTYD: The Hidden World
Hellboy
Longshot
The 15% of Aquaman that I didn’t fall asleep during
If I had to drill down to just the 3 overall best movies I watched from 2019, it would be these, in no particular order:
The Irishman
Midsommar
Parasite
But, if I had a top 3 for categories, it would be these:
Horror
Midsommar
The Lighthouse
Crawl
Action/Thriller
Parasite
Avengers: Endgame
John Wick 3
Drama
The Irishman
Joker
Marriage Story
Comedy
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Knives Out
JoJo Rabbit
I haven’t seen 1917 yet.
Ok, that would be my number 3 above, if push came to shove. Slipped my mind.
Hopefully Knives Out is streaming. I would like to watch that tonight as so many of you have recommended it.
It came out recently, it’s still in theaters.
I counted eight I saw this year. My three favorites:
Booksmart
Little Women
The Lighthouse
