2019 will forever be defined by the birth of my son. It was the first, second, and third most important thing this year. Coming in fourth, though, was the realization that I could still hold on to films. I was able to do so by binging a bunch the summer before he was born and linking a bunch with meals after he was born. The strategy of rotating shifts Hark and I used gave Brody the time he needed with both of us. In turn, Hark got to preserve his YouTube campaigns, and I got to preserve this list.
I’m sure the list will be shorter in the future, but for now, here are the 97 movies I saw this year...
