It was a decent year for films. Despite an absence of blockbusters (I certainly didn't miss the three hour Superhero movies that have proliferated recently), the smaller indie films and international films were entertaining enough.
10(=). David Copperfield - it was a toss-up between this and Emma for this spot, so I'm including them both, however David Copperfield's quirky humour appealed to me more.
10(=). Emma - thanks Jane Austen.
9. Summerland - WW2 romantic drama
7. The Lodge - a horror story set in the snowy wilds of Massachusetts featuring gaslighting and insanity
6. Midnight Sky - George Clooney's apocalyptic space drama had a short run in the cinema before switching to Netflix, and I'm lucky to have caught it on the big screen.
5. Colour Out of Space - insane (literally) adaption of H. P. Lovecraft's short story, starring Nicholas Cage.
4. Belle Epoque - is it possible to time travel by faithfully recreating a scene from the past? A quirky French romance.
3. The Burnt Orange Heresy - an art crime thriller
2. 1917 - for the cinematography alone, this is unforgettable
1. Tenet - worth seeing multiple times (and in reverse) to understand the many layers.
And some honourable mentions, for films that could easily have made the top ten if my mood differed slightly:
Trip to Greece
Mank
The Father
