Your Top Movies Of 2019!

Topic

We do this every year and it’s always fun.

So, with the proviso that we still have a few weeks to go, what have been your top films of the year?

(You can even go the whole hog and do the decade if you want, although frankly I struggle to remember what I had for breakfast this morning so casting back to 2010 might be beyond me.)

Those twenty year decades are the worst!

Ha, I completely missed that. Edited now.

I never see enough films to make my opinion matter. I really liked US, though.

Edited to add: I also loved THE IRISHMAN.

I enjoyed Knives Out a lot. It was genuinely fun.

1- Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

2- Ready or Not

3- Joker

4- John Wick 3

5- The Lighthouse

6- Ad Astra

7- The Irishman, AKA the greatest superhero movie of 2019

8- Zombieland: Double Tap

9- Jojo Rabbit

10- Ford v Ferrari

I still have a few I want to see that’ll probably, based on reviews, make my Ten (like Little Women), but for now:

1. The Lighthouse
2. Parasite
3. The Farewell
4. Her Smell
5. Booksmart
6. Knives Out
7. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
8. The Irishman
9. Pain and Glory
10. Us

And my next ten, in no particular order:

• The Art of Self-Defense
• Alita: Battle Angel
• Wild Rose
• Avengers: Endgame
• John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
• Little Woods
• Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
• Hustlers
• Jojo Rabbit
• Marriage Story

Also, because my list is open, here’s my rough ranking of all the “blockbuster”-type movies I saw this year:

1. Avengers: Endgame
2. Alita: Battle Angel
3. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
4. Toy Story 4
5. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
6. Shazam!
7. Charlie’s Angels
8. Terminator: Dark Fate
9. Captain Marvel
10. Gemini Man
11. Spider-Man: Far from Home
12. Pokémon Detective Pikachu
13. Dumbo
14. Frozen II
15. Joker
16. Men in Black: International
17. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
18. It Chapter Two
19. Dark Phoenix

Not a good year on this list.

Seems a bit premature doing this before Star Wars is out, but as it seems nearly impossible that it will bother the #1 spot I guess it doesn’t matter:

1. Dora and the Lost City of Gold
2.  Avengers: Endgame
3.  Alita: Battle Angel
4.  Spider-Man: Far From Home
5.  Captain Marvel

I think that’s all I’ve seen

As it’s December 31st, and I’m not likely to see anything in the next nine hours that will make the list, here’s my Top 20 of 2019:

1. The Lighthouse
2. Parasite
3. The Farewell
4. Her Smell
5. Booksmart
6. Knives Out
7. Little Women
8. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
9. The Irishman
10. Midsommar
11. Us
12. Pain and Glory
13. Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
14. Avengers: Endgame
15. Hustlers
16. Little Woods
17. The Art of Self-Defense
18. Marriage Story
19. Wild Rose
20. Alita: Battle Angel

And my Top 100 of the decade, unordered: https://letterboxd.com/paulforegan/list/top-100-2010s/

Well, damn. I’m rather late to this thread but here we go. Since Paul dropped a top twenty, I’ll throw mine out (all taken from the list that I fill in as I go, ranking each new movie I see against the others shortly after my first watch, so I guess that if I was to see something again or draw the list up from scratch, things could be different.
