I had resisted putting out a best-of list late last year, opting not to participate in any of the critics polls because I felt there were too many gaps in movies-to-see list. But I've since done some catching up. That said, I haven't seen An Elephant Sitting Still, Hotel By the River, Knife + Heart, Long Day's Journey Into Night, Asako I&II, and a few other potential list-makers, so I could make some adjustments later.

1. The Irishman
2. Marriage Story
3. Parasite
4. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
5. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
6. Uncut Gems
7. Midsommar

9. Knives Out
10. Transit

Continuing a project I haven't done in a couple of years. All movies on this list have been released commercially in New York City in the calendar year 2019. I have no way to categorize them as I used to (i.e. The Essentials, Hollywood: The System Works!, Auteur Obligations, Notable Documentaries, Indie Curiosities, Imported Goods), so you'll have to make your own decisions on what to prioritize.

Some notes on this list: 1. I haven't seen It's Impossible To Learn To Plow By Reading Books. 2. Letterboxd doesn't have Linklater's fine documentary Inning By Inning: Portrait Of A Coach (which I reviewed here), but I'd slot it after A Scanner Darkly if it did. 3. I'd strongly recommend everything above (and including) The Newton Boys and strongly not recommend only SuBurbia and Tape. 4. I enjoy the films of Richard Linklater.
