Having seen a respectable 120 films last year, there were many highlights. However it was concerning to see the increasing number heading straight to streaming, or having a very short theatrical run.
1. Grand Tour - a unique Portugese historical fantasy, set in the Far East in the 1920s2. The Ballad of Wallis Island - my favourite comedy of the year
3. House of Dynamite - incredibly tense countdown to nuclear war
4. Black Bag - the best thriller, reminds me of Spooks at its best
5. The Count of Monte Cristo - watch this instead of reading the novel
6. 28 Years Later - featuring very entertaining zombies
7. Weapons - thought provoking horror
8. One Battle After Another - Leonardo, and Paul Thomas Anderson deserve an Oscar
9. Wake Up Dead Man - even better than a Midsummer Murder
10. Tron Ares - great visuals, simple to follow plot (but disappointing soundtrack)
Honourable mentions:
Old White Man - a German comedy about a guy who becomes politically correct for the wrong reasons
Mission Impossible Final Reckoning
The Materialists - not a romantic comedy, but a romantic drama.
Mickey 17 - creative comedy reminiscent of the 2009 film Moon
