- The Man Who Killed Don Quixote - The long, long awaited Terry Gilliam film. To my mind, well worth it.
- Detective Pikachu - Brilliant repurposing of an existing franchise (even if technically it was based on one of the many games). Continues Ryan Reynolds' penchant for playing with identity.
- Serenity - It's not really a twist ending when most of the movie explains that it's part of the narrative.
- The Standoff At Sparrow Creek - I've waited a long time for a James Badge Dale spotlight. It delivered.
- The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot - Mesmerizing portrait on aging.
- Glass - A fitting finale for the Shyamalan trilogy.
- Dumbo - Playfully subversive family film from Tim Burton.
- The Upside - Sort of instantly, for me, the best material featuring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston.
- Hotel Mumbai - Chilling portrait of modern terrorism.
- Captain Marvel - One of the best MCU movies.
- John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum - It's like the Fast & Furious movies all over again. The longer the series continues, the more awesome it becomes.
- Fighting With My Family - Very much a movie version, but still fun to have an actual wrestler's journey (WWE's Paige) documented, with Dwayne Johnson getting to immortalize The Rock in film.
- Dark Phoenix - The X-Men saga comes to a moody conclusion.
- Avengers: Endgame - It's like watching Lord of the Rings: Return of the King all over again. For a lot of folks that's a good thing. For me, not as much.
- Secret Life of Pets 2 - Saw this thanks to my niece.

Interesting. A few films in that list that never came out her (or haven't yet). No Toy Story 4? Definitely one of my top films of the year so far.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen it yet. With my niece gone, my kid movie consumption is going to go back down. I do intend to catch it later, though.
