Getting towards the end of the year, and it seems like slim pickens.

But Alita was this year, right? Is that the best film this year?

What films do you feel were the best?
Performances?
Best CGI?
Best SFX?
Best story?
Most entertaining?
Most worthy of Oscar nods?

Other films mentioned in this thread:

Cold Pursuit - story, performances
John Wick 3 Parabellum - for nonstop action/fight scenes.
Angel Has Fallen - story/plot

Glass

Joker - best film, best performance

Yesterday - feel good

Nomis - story.
Richard Jewell - wonderful storytelling.
Jumangi Next Level - entertainment, ignore the story holes.

I should have mentioned Glass, if that was this year.

And was Deadpool 2 in 2019? Nope, May 2018.

Only seen two... Shazam and Joker.

I honestly don't see how anything else that came out this year could possibly be better than Joker was. Not only was that the best portrayal of The Joker by a million miles, but that was the most amazing acting performance I've ever seen in my life. After what happened to Heath Ledger, I'm genuinely concerned for Joaquin Phoenix's well being, and I hope that he's getting whatever psychiatric care that I'm sure he needs to remove himself from the character of Arthur Fleck.

Joker - best movie.
Alita gets some love.
Yesterday was my feel good movie of the year.

I have not seen Joker, but of the rest nothing is better than Alita for me, so far.

I think the story could have been better fleshed out, but that's because I had exactly zero introduction to the characters or the world before seeing the movie.

Maybe I need to see it again, when it comes out OnDemand, I'll rent it. Which now that I think about it, it's probably available. Or should be, as it came out long before Godzilla KOTM, and I already own that on disc.

Guess I'll look for it.

I still need to see that one. It's on my extremely short list of 2019 movies I'm interested in.

I also had no intro to the world other than trailers. I agree the story could have been fleshed out, but I felt it was still the best thing since Arrival, Edge of Tomorrow, Rogue One.

Arrival was a real mind bender. Edge was entertaining, but for me the underlying story was a bit much. Rogue One was pretty good. Solid, but not fantastic.

Did you ever see Moon ? I know it's been a while since it came out, but I like it about on the level as The Martian. Just my preference, I guess.
