Not much to say other than 2019 was a decent year for movies. Some good, bad, and some a little meh. From 20 to 1, these are the top flicks that really moved me this year. Flicks that resonated and lived within me for a bit after screening them. Some I reviewed, some I didn’t. Either way, cinematically, the art will never cease to sweep me off my feet. Like everything else, it’s subjective. A matter of personal taste and style. So, without further ado… I present to you my top 20 flicks of the year!
But first… HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone! Wishing you and your loved ones a year full of love, peace, success, happiness, and most of all… Powerball winnings!

Potential runner-ups were Netflix’s A MARRIAGE STORY, THE IRISHMAN, and NEON’s/CNN’s APOLLO 11! All powerful films in their own way, but they just didn’t make my list. Shoot me! *Shrug*
