Best of the Year (though I watched a lot of good ones) No Order

Private Life (2018) Great mix of humor and drama
Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) same
The Candyman (1992) funked me up
Grace Jones: Bloodlight & Bami (2017) Beautiful doc about such a fascinating person
The Lion in Winter (1968) such salt and sass!
Hereditary (2018) no comment
Kedi (2016) lovely doc
Parting Glances (1986) great look into the AIDs crisis while it was happening, without being too sickness-pornish. Steve Buscemi was so good in it.
Lady Beware (1987) very surprising, stuck with me
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) so fun and sweet and beautiful

Worst of the Year (no order)

Seems Like Old Times (1980) Chevy Chase can't get away with what Cary Grant could get away with, kinda racist
Red Heat (1988) great opening and had Gina Gershon, but bleh and I can't stand Jim Belushi
Rabbit Test (1978) very racist
Whistling in the Dark (1941) boring, Conrad couldn't even save it
Sex and the Single Girl (1964) I always hate these 1960s rom-coms, but can't stop watching for the set/costume design. Also, Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall were ill used
Cast a Deadly Spell (1991) was creative and whatnot, but so transphobic
Justine (1969) meh
All in A Nights Work (1961) can barely remember it, but it's also a 1960s rom-com
Once Bitten (1985) meh
Three way tie: Serenity (2019) meh, The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) meh, Suicide Kings (1997) stupid ending
