La La Land which is by far the best film in the group of the films I've seen, The Drop was a big pleasant surprise and picked Green Book over Dunkirk because it was eminently watchable. Dunkirk is a valiant effort but disappears a bit up its own ass with the structure and eventually does what it sets out not to do, defeating the purpose of denying us a proper propaganda war movie with easy to follow linear narration. 

 

Have not seen Rush, that Malik thing and that Bond thing.

Again I've only seen six of these.

 

I know a lot of people loved Guardians of the Galaxy, but I thought it was just a fairly standard MCU film. I liked it, but I'll be honest - my favourite part was the post-credits appearance of Howard the Duck, which says it all.

 

Rush is certainly a cut above most sports biopics. I don't give much of a toss about motor racing though, and this film didn't change that.

 

Skyfall is a good Bond film. I can't put my finger on why I didn't love it. Maybe it's getting harder to suspend disbelief these days. And some of the crazy shit in this film needs big-time suspension of disbelief.

 

Voted for these:

 

The Drop is a really good little crime drama which feels firmly rooted in the real world. Tom Hardy excellent.

I like mystery thrillers and Shutter Island did not disappoint. As with The Drop, it's based on a Dennis Lehane book. Does everything you'd want from a film in this genre.


Knives Out was a very pleasant surprise. Funny, suitably convoluted, and featuring a terrific ensemble cast. I loved the powerful allegory too, almost as much as I love Ana de Armas.

The Tree of Life is one of the best films of the decade. I also voted for Green Book and Skyfall. I’m not a huge fan of Daniel Craig as Bond, but the films are entertaining enough. I thought Rush was a decent film but Christopher Hemsworth doesn’t quite capture James Hunt’s charisma, in my opinion.
