Top 10 Best Films of 2019

Now that the worst is out of the way, it's time to look at the best of 2019. While there were plenty of good films there weren't many great ones. Some on repeated viewings didn't hold up well, while others surprisingly got better that I regret the rating I gave it. Looking at the number of films I saw in 2019, it's less than what I saw in 2018. I watched about seventy movies that year, but for last year, I saw about sixty. Even then, there were many still I missed; my sincerest apologies to John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Richard Jewell, Deep Waters, Just Mercy, Honey Boy, Dolomite is My Name, Waves and The Last Black Man in San Francisco to name few.

Top 10 Worst Movies of 2019


New year, new decade, but bad movies are forever. Just like last year, I prefer to get the worst out of the way before getting to the best. Admittedly, I skipped on a lot of bad movies from The Curse of La Llorona, Playing with Fire, The Hustle, Countdown, Replicas, and Charlie's Angels. The trailers were enough to convince me to stay away, and their negative reception confirmed my suspicion. The ones that made my list, I went in thinking I'd seeing something above average, and man was I wrong.
