mellicious: Happy New Year! (new year gif)
[personal profile] mellicious
I thought I would have one more movie - Little Women, or something - to add to my 2019 list before the end of the year, but no, I've had a stomach virus and I haven't been out of the house since Saturday, when I had to work. So the list ends with the second time for Star Wars on Christmas Day - which honestly I didn't enjoy as much as the first time.

Most years I have trouble picking a "best movie" but this year was the year of Endgame, totally, for me. I just watched it again the other day. That's my favorite, hands down. There's maybe some doubt about what would be #2, between Knives Out and the "second tier" of superhero movies, all of which were very good. - Captain Marvel, Spiderman: Far From Home, and Shazam! Oh, and I almost left out Ford vs Ferrari, which was really surprisingly good too.

OK, so a top 5:
1. Endgame
2. Captain Marvel
3. Ford vs Ferrari
4. Knives Out
5. Shazam!
(runner-up: Spiderman: Far From Home)

Movies seen at a theater in 2019:
1. Bumblebee
2. Into the Spider-verse (our second time)
3. Lego Movie 2
4. Alita: Battle Angel
5. Captain Marvel (three times)
6. Shazam!
7. Avengers: Endgame (four times)
8. Field of Dreams (30th anniversary)
9. Spiderman: Far From Home
10. Ad Astra
11. Ghostbusters (35th anniversary)
12. Zombieland: Double Tap
13. Terminator: Dark Fate
14. Ford vs.Ferrari
15. Knives Out (twice)
16. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (twice)

(I read Rob the list of what he saw and I didn't, and he said probably Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was his favorite, and Midsommar second.)

I'm dismayed to find that I have seen zero of the films on your list. None. Saturday night, we have tickets for Star Wars. I hope to see Knives Out and Ford vs Ferrari. And The Lego Movie II, at some point. All the rest just don't seem to be my thing. I usually stay home and binge watch stuff like Grace and Frankie and Jack Ryan. And I'm a freak for British mysteries, such as Midsomer Murders, Father Brown, Dr. Blake (sadly, no more. He was accused of something and BBC quashed his series) and Rosemary & Thyme. Let's face it, I watch way too much TV. It's okay, as long as I'm ironing or folding clothes or doing something crafty. But I waste so much time just sitting on my... derriere. I'll try to be better this year, but so far, not so much.

Sean gave me the Kung Fu Panda trilogy for Christmas. I loved them in the theater. They are so breathtakingly beautiful.

I hope you'll keep posting, from time to time, let us know how you are.

Happy New Year!

Okay, we saw Star Wars. It's the only one of the nine that I had no interest in seeing again. Not sorry to have seen it. Some of it is mind-blowingly spectacular. But it almost felt like a chick flick to me, and that's not a complement.
