What was the last movie you watched?

posted by SportsAndLady

Not going to rate them, but 2019 was an incredible year for movies and here is my top 5:

 

1) Parasite, and it’s not even close 

2) The King

3) 1917

4) jojo rabbit

5) joker

 

Movies people liked that I didn’t:

the farewell 

Knives out (I fucking hated this movie)

 

other than those two, didn’t dislike much else. Once upon a time, marriage story, and the report just missed my top 5

I’ve said many times it’s the best year since 1999, imo. 

I Am Legend alternate ending version. 🔥🔥🔥

Definitely an improvement on the first ending  but I won’t spoil it. 

Rewatched Jojo Rabbit. Enjoyed it more the first time. Still pretty good, though. 

The Way Back - 5/10. Thought I was signing up for a sports movie with deadbeat Ben Affleck which is the best (see: The Town) but instead got something much more depressing. 

Groundhog Day
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Besides the double feature or Caddyshack and Major league

I watched The Iceman the other night- holy shit if half of that is actually true....jesus he was a bad man.

Not yet, needed to watch movies that didn't require my full attention. I will be watching Parasite tonight or tomorrow night.

Let me know what you think. 

Watched CRASH on Prime last night.

I watched Parasite the other night.  Very entertaining.  Having to read can take you away from some of the visuals. The twist at the end was pretty sweet.

Parasite was awesome. Watched it the week before the Academy Awards and then just again the other night. Only my 3rd favorite film of the year, but still easily makes the top-10 of the decade. This year ruled for film.

Ford vs. Ferrari

8 / 10...enjoyed it.

Parasite was fuggin' awesome. Wow.

It’s very difficult to explain. But very high level, a poor Korean family of 4 gets an opportunity to work with a wealthy Korean family of 4. The poor family are “street smart” the wealthy family are not. 

Loved The King. 

Parasite easily best I've seen this year.

Uncut Gems was the next. I know not for everyone but I liked it a lot.

I watched The Talented Mr. Ripley the other day. I've never seen it...wayy late to the party. 

I just watched a preview of The King. Looks great. I'll try to watch it this weekend.
