Welcome to Day 4 of my 2019 top ten lists that I’ll be posting all week.
I’ll post the list of my top ten movies released in 2019 tomorrow but I always prefer doing the list of older films that I watched at home each year. These movies tend to be much better (I do try to watch some worthy stuff at home). I have to say that 2019 was a very disappointing year for movie releases overall & none from 2019 made it into my top ten movies of the decade (which I’ll post on Friday). What I watched at home wasn’t quite as strong as some years but I do really love the top six or seven. I also watched A LOT of movies this year so I’ve made this a Top 30 (the full list of everything I saw in 2019 is HERE).

Big love for Infernal Affairs, The Hunt and Belle Du Jour.
Yes! Great movies. Loved Deneuve. And wish I’d seen Infernal Affairs before the Hollywood remake. The original is of course superior. (Although The Departed was still good)
A Matter of Life And Death is a stone-cold classic that doesn’t get as much respect as it deserves (I bet if it was an American movie it’d have It’s a Wonderful Life-level love, rather than the kind of niche British/cinephile appreciation it does seem to get).
Totally agree! A Matter Of Life And Death is amazing. Why isn’t it more well known?! I blame Americans. They only like their American stuff. 😉 So glad I watched it as I’d not even HEARD of it before seeing it mentioned on Twitter. I might tweet about it some more. I feel it’s my duty to get people to watch it. 🙂
Love these end/beginning of year lists! I haven’t seen many of these, and I suspect my ranking would look far different (Searching and In This Corner of the World) would be much higher), but there are definitely a few I’m curious to check out now. Never heard of A Matter of Life and Death, but it’s on my to-watch list now.
Oh, I’d love to introduce someone else to A Matter Of Life And Death! I’d not even heard of it before watching it. It should be a classic up there with the likes of It’s A Wonderful Life. 🙂
