The film slate in 2019 closed the decade in style. Swelling franchise conclusions (Avengers), expansive sequels (John Wick), new interpretations of famous fictional characters (Joker), unbelievable true stories (Ford v Ferrari) and original ideas (Knives Out) represent the best films of the year.
Before diving into my picks for 10 best films of the year and the nine honorable mentions, I wasn’t able to see every fantastic movie this year. Starting the web site took time away from seeing some outstanding films. Here are four of the movies I missed this year:
- Parasite
- Richard Jewell
- Jojo Rabbit
- Honey Boy
I plan on seeing 1917 when it releases everywhere on January 10, since I can’t see the film before that date, I can’t include it on the best films of 2019 list.
The order of the top 10 films is completely random. I narrowed all the films I saw this year down to 10 favorites, then placed them in a list randomizer.
