Movies of 2019

[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.)

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.
