Best Films of 2019

Steve,
Are you sure you meant Homecoming and not Far From Home? Homecoming came out in 2017.

@volrathxp Steve was just late to the party. Tune in next year when he reviews The Lord of the Rings Trilogy!

I really wanted to like The Irishman, but boy it did make it hard for me..
Other than that, I loved Once upon a time in Hollywood, and an honorable mention goes to detective pikachu. While not an outstanding movie in itself, it took me back to my younger years before I even knew Magic.
Also, 1917! I love me some good warmovies.
And while technically not from 2019, I saw Thr Green Book just a couple months ago, so I'll make it count for that year.

Just wondering about "Joker" its numbered 5 but in the 3 position is it 3 or 5? You also call it a Zeitgeist movie. Do you mean Zeitgeist the German word or Zeitgeist the Marvel comic char? -either works oddly enough. -

Yes, sorry I mixed those up
The first one was very good, but Far From Home was weirder and more surreal. The way that it used visuals to mislead viewers was original and frankly stunning.

I'm restarting this thread because not many people talk about movies here. I would like to point out that the 2019 movies were really memorable. I watched many of them. The best one, as far as I'm concerned is Ma. It gave me so many goosebumps. Which one did you remember?

Frozen 2 stands out the most
-
@maxxx17 The ones that stand out to me in retrospect are:
Knives Out - Fun and engaging from beginning to end
Endgame - A fitting end to the years-long buildup
Knock Down the House - An insightful look into what it took for these folks to get elected
Toy Story 4 - Really hit on all of the notes that made the original so great while still feeling new
Far From Home - Agree with Steve's take on this one, a fun subversion of the usual hero/villain dynamic -
My favorite from that year was by far 1917. The camera work teams up with some excellent actors and incredible sets to create an extremely gripping film that effectively conveyed the pointless and brutal nature of war while also keeping up tension better than any horror movie I have ever seen.

@botvinik I've really gotta check that one out at some point. Did you see the Peter Jackson documentary, They Shall Not Grow Old? Similar subject matter and I thought it was incredibly well done.
